First off, if you're expecting stellar, Academy Awards type material, then you should never, ever give this DVD a second look at your local Walmart. Better yet, you shouldn't even be reading the reviews for this movie in the first place.I mean really, it's Cruel Intentions 3. We know what this is all about - the petty betting matches between sex-crazed, wealthy teens/young adults with obviously too much time on their hands. It's a soppy, cliché-filled teen drama. What do you expect? The original Cruel Intentions wasn't great because of its airtight script or ingenious plot either, let me tell you. It was great because it had an exceptionally great cast for this genre. Do you honestly believe it would have been the hit it was without Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon, Selma Blair, Christine Baranski, Louise Fletcher, etc? So that's where we are with Cruel Intentions 3. Same old plot, just without the stellar cast. So, what do you get? A fun, playful, knotty, and even down right mean-spirited movie all in one. And I hate to say it, but it's not nearly as bad as it could have been.The beautiful and relatively unknown Kristina Anapau does well as Cassidy Merteuil, cousin to Gellar's character in the original Cruel Intentions. The other actors are not worth mentioning, but do about as best a job as can be expected for this genre.As I said before, if you want Oscar material, pass this by, but if you're just bored and want a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, or you're a fan of the franchise, it's worth a look. I would have given it 5 stars, but because this film didn't add anything fresh over the original, it loses a point for lack of originality.

You've got to be kidding me.The 2nd one was atrocious. Hardly any sequel is better than the first (except maybe Beverly Hills Cop and a couple others). That blonde girl was so freaking annoying I wanted to jab a spear in my eye.The 3rd one isn't an Oscar winner but it's way more entertaining than #2. The 2nd may show more skin if that's what you're watching for ... but that's about all it has over the 3rd one (although they're essentially equal).None will ever compare with good IL' Reese in the first movie. Now she's stuck doing stupid movies that appeal only to those who wear bras. Thanks, Reese. (BOOOOOOO)

In a college in Santa Barbara, the amoral and evil students Cassidy Merteuil (Kristina Anapau), Jason Argyle (Kerr Smith) and Patrick Bales (Nathan J. Wetherington) play a wicked game: Jason tries to seduce Sheila Wright (Natalie Ramsey), the girlfriend of his friend Michael Cattrall (Tom Parker); Patrick tries to seduce Alison Lebray (Melissa Yvonne Lewis), who is engaged. Their final intent is just a destructive game and nothing else. Then they decide to bet who will go first with Cassidy to the bed for one dollar. "Cruel Intentions 3" is another amoral, mean and erotic tale, using the same concept of "Cruel Intentions" and "Cruel Intentions 2", but without Kathryn Merteuil, performed by Sarah Michelle Gellar and Amy Adams respectively. Cassidy has the same lack of character of the original Kathryn, and is a good substitute for the original character. Having many plot points and beautiful actresses evolved in erotic scenes, this forgettable movie is a good entertainment. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Segundas Intenções 3" ("Second Intentions 3")

Clearly the weakest of the trilogy Cruel Intentions 3 stars (Kerr Smith) and sexy (Kristina Anapau) it is a final bet between two high school friends on sleeping with nieve girls. The third film completely strays away from the purpose and reasoning of the Cruel Intentions trilogy the only resemblance of the first two is Cassidy Merteuil the cousin of Kathryn, appearing in the first two. It is a completely different film. Although sexy stars and a good storyline it might as well been a separate film.Pros Sexy leads, Interesting plot, quirky metaphores and languageCons Not believable, Unoriginal, Strays away from the actual plot
