``Cruel Intentions'' is a modern-day version of ``Dangerous Liaisons,'' with rich kids in a prep school playing roles that were written for jaded French aristocrats in the wicked 1782 novel by Choderlos De Laclos.
The film stars Ryan Phillippe, a slinky schemer in the tradition of James Spader, as Sebastian Valmont, a rich kid who lives in a Manhattan mansion with his stepsister Kathryn Merteuil (Sarah Michelle Gellar).
He's known as an unprincipled seducer who ``has never uttered a single word without dishonorable intentions.'' She's a minx who's angered when her current boyfriend dumps her for the sweeter Cecile (Selma Blair), and in revenge she urges Sebastian to conquer Cecile and destroy her reputation.

  Cruel Intentions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cruel Intentions is a 1999 feature film starring Ryan Phillippe, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Reese Witherspoon and Selma Blair.
The plot is mainly driven by a bet held between the two main characters, and it heavily involves manipulation, seduction, and love in a rich and sophisticated socially elite youth atmosphere.
Cruel Intentions 3, on the other hand, has little relation to either of the other movies and was not directed by Roger Kumble, but instead by Scott Ziehl.

 DVD Verdict Review - Cruel Intentions
A film with a lineage traceable to the eighteenth century, Cruel Intentions is, at its core, a story of control.
The latest in a long line of various adaptations, the film is an "updated version" of the classic novel "Les Liaisons Dangereuses." Where the original text concerned itself with matters of members' maneuverings of French nobility, the updated version casts the film around the idle amusements of rich private school students in New York.
Cruel Intentions, however, showcases one of the better adaptive writing efforts Hollywood has seen in recent memory.

 THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- CRUEL INTENTIONS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
CRUEL INTENTIONS ($30) is a seriously underrated film adaptation of Choderlos de Laclos novel LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES, which was brought to the screen in its best known incarnation as 1988's DANGEROUS LIAISONS.
CRUEL INTENTIONS stars Sarah Michelle Gellar as Kathryn Merteuil and Ryan Phillippe as her stepbrother Sebastian Valmont.
CRUEL INTENTIONS could have been a shamefully silly exercise in eroticism had it not been for the superb performances of its youthful cast.

Cruel Intentions is the film industry's latest version of the classic French novel, Les Liaisons Dangereuses (Dangerous Liaisons) by Pierre Laclos, which has been filmed three times previously.
Blaine doesn't mind this intrusion at all -- it's his idea, in fact -- he's grown tired of Greg's hiding of his sexual liaison with Blaine in his closet (or locker, as the case may be), and wants a weapon to use against his hypocritical lover.
Near the end of Cruel Intentions the terms of the wager begin to be understood by those who have been victimized by it, and the classic duel among rivals takes place.

 Blu-ray Review: Cruel Intentions | High-Def Digest
The first time I saw 'Cruel Intentions' was on a Sunday afternoon in a mall multiplex, the kind you usually find half-empty and smelling of week-old popcorn.
But 'Cruel Intentions' is more than just an Afterschool Special with a filthy mouth -- it seems to really get off on the lurid thrill of watching kids masquerade as sex-starved, coke-fueled adults.
In short, 'Cruel Intentions' is easy to listen to and fairly pleasing, but much like the video, it's certainly no new reference standard.

 DVD Review: Cruel Intentions
No one would call it a work of art, and at times "Cruel Intentions" shows its flaws, but it's definitely far and away the smartest and most energetic of the new genre of teen films that has been popping up lately.
"Cruel Intentions" is by far the most adult of the teen films; that sophistication works to its advantage as although it's not exactly a work of fine art, the film works because of a smart, witty plot as well as excellent performances.
SOUND: "Cruel Intentions" is basically a dialogue-driven film and the dialogue is consistent throughout, sounding clear and uncompressed.

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 fl as coal.
In theory this is a modern interpretation of a classic piece of French literature, but in reality the film acts as a vehicle for the two leads to appear as snarly, snappy (and downright irritating) as possible with the original story itself becoming completely incidental to the insipid dialogue.
For this reason Cruel Intentions ranks as some of the most aesthetically insulting nonsense I've ever seen, managing to strike that perfect balance between an embarrassingly poor execution and infuriatingly offensive subject matter.

 Cruel Intentions Movie Review at Hollywood Video
Written and directed by Roger Kumble, Cruel Intentions re-imagines Les Liaisons Dangereuses as a teenage fl comedy.
For further cruel fun, Sebastian also plots to seduce the gawky Cecile (Selma Blair) to avenge himself on Cecile's mother (Christine Baranski) who told Annette all about his bawdy reputation and to avenge Kathryn who lost a boyfriend to Cecile.
Cruel Intentions was no doubt a hoot for teen audiences with characters whose sexual and sartorial sophistication the average adolescent can only dream about (even if Sarah Michelle Gellar's wardrobe occasionally makes her look like a slutty refugee from the Junior League).

This time she is so cruel her character is just plain annonying and seems to be put on a side note due to the high amount of unneeded characters, she even heads an undergroud cult of "popular" people.
The acting is horrible, there is no emotion to be found anywhere and probably the only people this film will appeal to are people who have not seen the first.
Where the first Cruel Intertions was a guilty pleasure, this one is just guilty, fans of the original should steer way clear of this sequal that is more of a remake due to the fact that it offers nothing new to the fold except a lot of homosexuality and an even stupider ending.

 DVD Review Cruel Intentions
Thankfully, the makers of Cruel Intentions have succeeded in their updating of "les Liasones Dangeruses" from upper-class 18th century France to the upper-class 1990's New York.
Unlike your conventional teen flick, Cruel benefits not only from a knockout main cast, but also a fabulous supporting cast, ranging from Cybill's Chrisine Barinski as Celists imposing mother, to Swoozi Kurtz, who simply shines during her short, but pivitol bit in the opening sequence as Sebastian's overcharging Psychiatrist.
At the time of its initial release, this film was accused of being discriminatory against Gays, and lesbians (as both themes are worked into the story, in very funny ways) Though never forceful or explicit in it's depiction, it none the less caused the usual hoo har from the do-gooders of the world.
