Ratings and reviews

A classic retelling of the old Valmont story that was fun to watch when it was in cinemas. Used to own the DVD, watched it whenever it was on cable, and now a digital version to have.

This will always be one of my favorites from my youth. Ryan Phillippe plays the cocky, spoiled rich boy perfectly and Reese Witherspoon is perfect as the virginal Annette. I've never been a Buffy fan but I adore Sarah Michelle Gellar and she is at her sexiest in this film. Stellar cast all around. A great take on an old classic.

This is my all time favorite movie. My top 5 movies!! It's funny, sad, times It's dirty. I did not like other Cruel Intentions, but only this one!!
