A teenage version of a novel about world-weary adults; the attitudes of ennui and malice are an awkward fit on the young cast (even though they look too old to be still at school); but it has a little more bite than most movies aimed at a teen audience.

Strictly For Teenagers

Not as good as it's made out to be.
Ok, I watched all the three Cruel Intentions movies and then went back and watched Dangerous Liasions. Perhaps Dangerous Liaisons has prejudiced my opinion of Cruel Intentions I; the former is incomparably better than the latter. In my defence, the latter does have good actors (though admittedly not of the caliber of John Malkovich) and so had the potential for being a decent remake.

Oddly enough the other two movies, I would rate higher because they don't pretend to be anything more than they actually are -- amoral, erotic and enjoyable teen flicks. -
