Audience Reviews for Cruel Intentions

• Oct 24, 2013

  Based on the sensational novel, Cruel Intentions is a provocative sexual thriller. Two warring step siblings, Kathryn and Sebastian, make a bet as to whether Sebastian can seduce the daughter of their school's new headmaster. Starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Reese Witherspoon, the film has a solid cast and the performances are fairly good; especially Gellar and Phillippe, who have great interplay with each other. Additionally, the storytelling's well done and is laced with intrigue. However, the plot comes off as a bit contrived and is over sexualized. Yet despite a few weaknesses, Cruel Intentions is a compelling exotic thriller.

  Pretty good. Darkly funny, but even at the end it's still a pretty enjoyable love story, even if you're not into romances...this isn't your typical romantic comedy, thankfully.

  Cruel Intentions is a pretty interesting teen drama comedy. I wasn't sure about wanting to see it, however I finally did, and was surprised. The film has a good enough cast that keeps the material working, and the cast deliver some good performances. The film is both funny and demented and at times dramatic, and the film is fairly underrated. The film is of course not perfect, but for what it is, it manages to be a good, entertaining hour and a half. What made this film worth watching was Selma Blair as Cecile; she definitely gave the funniest performance of all. Sarah Michelle Gellar was great as Kathryn. She really gave a cruel, uncaring performance, and she definitely delivered in that respect. Cruel Intentions is a well made teen film that is much better than one might think. The film is funny, and has a good cast at hand. I enjoyed many of the cast here, and I thought they each brought something special to the screen. There are things that could've been done better, but for what it is, Cruel Intentions works well enough to keep you interested and entertained, sure the film at times is so-so, but there are plenty of good things going on-screen to enjoy. This is a different and refreshing type of teen comedy/drama film, and like I said, I didn't expect to like it. The cast make this film watchable, and add to that a pretty clever script, and you have a good little film. There are plenty of good, memorable moments on-screen, with plenty of funny bits. An underrated film.
