Not a bad film but Dangerous Liasons is in a different league to it.

It's light years ahead of it although I do give Cruel Intentions credit for giving it a contempory feel without losing the tone of the narrative. It's still inferior though.

Lol did you do media at school or something? Is dangerous liasions a lot saucier? Yeah I remember watching Cruel Intentions when I was young.. and I was like wow this is amazing.

I did as it happens but I'm a total film geek really. They did a good job in transferring the story to modern day, surburban life but Dangerous Liasons is a far more interesting and weighty film, rather than the teenaged giddy silliness that carries this version along which, although having a polished, fun look, never reaches the same depths of emotion and lustiness.

Yeah I get you, quite a few American films have teenaged corny, giddy silliness. In fact them films are my guilty pleasure :joker: But I do prefer the ones that are more darker and sinister. I suppose it is the actors too. I bet if Cruel Intetions did not have Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan and Reece and that Sienna then it would not have been as good. I think there is more than one Cruel Intentions film but I don't know what the rest are like.

Yeah, I can definitely see Cruel Intentions being a guilty pleasure for many but I just love the sophistication, wit and sexual tension that's present in Dangerous Liasons. It's a really classy film.

So in other words.. Cruel Intentions is a BOG OFF version of Dangerous Liasons? Well I will watch it someday or get it on DVD!

I saw a scene of this getting filmed when I was in New York. It was the end bit, next to Central Park. I never knew what it was until a couple of years later when I was showing an ex some old holiday photos and she nearly **** because it's her favourite film... or was her favourite film.
