Movie Description
Director Roger Kumble transfers the DANGEROUS LIASONS tale to Manhattan, where wealthy prep school student Kathryn (Sarah Michelle Gellar) bets her stepbrother Sebastian (Ryan Phillipe) that he can't deflower the virginal Annette (Reese Witherspoon) before the school year begins. If he fails to accomplish this task, Kathryn gets his Jaguar Roadster; if he succeeds, he gets an evening of pleasure with Kathryn.

Industry Reviews
"...Enjoyably trashy..."
Entertainment Weekly - p.42 - Lisa Schwarzbaum (04/16/1999)
"...A clever reworking of a literary classic..."
Sight and Sound - p.42-3 - Edward Lawrenson (06/01/1999)
"...It's smart and merciless in the tradition of the original story....The movie's at its best in the scenes between Gellar and Phillippe, who develop a convincing emotional charge....[The film] has style and wit, and a lot of devious fun..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (03/05/1999)
4 stars out of 5 -- "CRUEL INTENTIONS has perfectly pitched performances by its young cast..."
