Amazon.co.uk Review

This modern-day teen update of Les Liaisons Dangereuses suffered at the hands of both critics and moviegoers thanks to its sumptuous ad campaign, which hyped the film as an arch, highly sexual, faux-serious drama (not unlike the successful, Oscar-nominated Dangerous Liaisons). In fact, Cruel Intentions plays like high comedy for its first two-thirds, as its two evil heroes, rich stepsiblings Kathryn (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Sebastian (Ryan Phillippe), blithely ruin lives and reputations with hearts as black as coal.

Kathryn wants revenge on a boyfriend who dumped her, so she befriends his new intended, the gawky Cecile (Selma Blair), and gets Sebastian to deflower the innocent virgin. The meat of the game, though, lies in Sebastian's seduction of good girl Annette (a down-to-earth Reese Witherspoon), who has written a nationally published essay entitled "Why I Choose to Wait." If he fails, Kathryn gets his precious vintage convertible; if he wins, he gets Kathryn--in the sack.

When the movie sticks to the merry ruination of Kathryn and Sebastian's pawns, it's highly enjoyable: Gellar in particular is a two-faced manipulator extraordinaire, and Phillippe, usually a black hole, manages some fun as a hipster Eurotrash stud. Most pleasantly surprising of all is Witherspoon, who puts a remarkably self-assured spin on a character usually considered vulnerable and tortured (see Michelle Pfeiffer in Dangerous Liaisons). Unfortunately, writer-director Roger Kumble undermines everything he's built up with a false ending that's true to neither the reconceived characters nor the original story--revenge is a dish best served cold, not cooked up with unnecessary plot twists. --Mark Englehart, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars SIDE-SPLITTINGLY HILARIOUS, WITH EVIL CHARACTERS, 1 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Cruel Intentions [VHS] [1999] (VHS Tape)
I have not seen/read Dangerous Liasons, which this brilliant comedy is based on but who cares if this film is nothing like it, it makes an excellent film on it's own. Right from the beginning I was enjoying it, laughing more than I have ever laughed before, marvelling at the cruelness of the characters. In some parts of the film I was not sure whether I was meant to be shocked by the evil Sarah Michelle Gellar & Ryan Phillipe's deeds or whether to laugh outloud. The plot is that two College kids who are step-brother and sister are apparently goodie-goodies but are mean, double-crossing, cruel, spoilt brats who do anything to get representable images to teachers and other kids alike. The story tells of their wager on whether or not the brother can bed the new headmaster's daughter before he gets to the school. If he does, then he gets his hot sister for a night and if not, she gets his car. Dasterdly tricks and sick jokes ensue but this combination makes a very funny film. It is hilarious, get it now!

5.0 out of 5 stars cruel intentions, 20 Jun 2004
This review is from: Cruel Intentions [DVD] [1999] (DVD)
This film is without a shadow of a doubt a classic, one of the best i have ever seen, when first purchased i saw it about 5 times running, ryan phillipe is the main star and from the very begining sets the standard of this film, he plays sebastian who makes a bet he can sleep with his headmasters daughter with his stepsister kathrynn played by an equally impressive sarah michelle geller. the character that the bet is made about, is played by resse witherspoon[married to phillipe].it culminates on a tragic note but then the ending will make you happy , as the one you route for as the film goes on is sebaastian,there are also some comedy moments in here but i wont spoil that, i seriously suggest if you havnt got this on dvd or video to get it, to make it even better the music in the film is great

5.0 out of 5 stars Can I stress how much I love this movie?, 19 Jun 2000
By Claire Hennessy (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cruel Intentions [VHS] [1999] (VHS Tape)
I love this movie. It gets 11/10. It is brilliant! Starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillipe, Reese Witherspoon, Selma Blair, Joshua Jackson among others, it is the tale of two rich Manhattan stepsiblings who are manipulative and selfish. Sebastian, played by Ryan Phillipe, has had many, many girls, but when he reads about Annette Hargrove (Reese Witherspoon) in a magazine and how she is proud of being a virgin, he is interested. When he finds she is the headmaster's daughter, he begins to try and get her into bed, to win a bet with stepsister Kathryn (Sarah Michelle Gellar, and if you have seen her only in the role of Buffy you will be shocked). If he loses, she gets his car. And if he wins? He gets Kathryn - something he has wanted ever since their parents married. This film is brilliant!

2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty lame
It starts out quite promising, with the protaganists being humorously evil, but turns into such slush that even my Missus gave up and went to bed, and that is saying something.
