Ah, twisted rich kids and their sex games. Based on the French novel, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, but with teenagers, this movie could have easily turned into a parody. Thanks to its cast, however, the weird and complicated "bet" between two step-siblings actually works. It seems a bit excessive, but what else is there to do when you're rich, lazy, and oh-so-sexy?
Reese Witherspoon is adorable, even more so than her adult self just because of how petite and cute she is. Actually, I think this is where she got together with Ryan Phillippe. And a pre-American Pie, pre-plastic surgery nightmare Tara Reid is also pretty cute.
So this movie is weird, but it works. And, damn it, it's actually pretty sexy.
