Kathryn and Sabastian, two wealthy, manipulative teenage stepsiblings from Manhattan's uppercrust, conspire in Cruel Intentions, a wickedly entertaining tale of seduction and betrayal. The stakes are high when the duo agrees upon a deliciously diabolical wager of sexual conquest without consequences. The pawns? The naïve Cecile Caldwell and the virginal Annette Hargrove. It's summer break, and Kathryn has been dumped by her beau, Court Reynolds, for the innocent Cecile, Desperate to get even, Kathryn challenges Sebastian to ruin Cecile by deflowering her and turning her into a tramp-thus humiliating Court by delivering Cecile to him as damaged goods. Sebastian has pretty much 'had' all the girls in New York City up to this point, and he's gotten a bit bored of it all. Though this is too easy a conquest for him, he obliges. He sets his sights on a greater challenge-the new headmaster's daughter, Annette, who recently wrote an article in Seventeen Magazine about how she intends to stay pure until she marries her boyfriend. Sebastian bets Kathryn that he can seduce the chaste an pristine Annette before school begins in the fall. Kathryn thinks this feat impossible and quickly agrees to the wager. The stakes: if Sabastian succeeds, Kathryn must give him a night of unbridled biblical, something he's wanted since he's their parents got married. If he fails, he must forfeit his priceless 1956 Jaguar to Kathryn and suffer the shame of defeat.

Strictly For Teenagers

By a customer from England , 24 Feb 2009

[Highly rated reviewer]

A dumbed down version of 'Dangerous Liaisons' with a photogenic but inadequate cast and a relentlessly mediocre soundtrack.

great film

By a customer , 13 May 2013

Very entertaining film to watch. Although mislabeled as Comedy and Musical, this film is full of drama, romance and seduction that will make it worth your while. Great ending too.

Don't even click

By a customer , 10 Mar 2013

Starts out well, though the storyline tires 25 mins in, the old sounding music is just the background filler and seems at odds with the visuals; he's cute, she's uninspiring. Be kind to yourself and find something better to do than watch this.

Avoid at all costs

By a customer , 21 Feb 2013

Truly awful in every way. Like a very poor tv show that exists on a channel you've never heard of. No idea where the comedy comes in
