Prequel to the hit 1999 teen-drama ‘Cruel Intentions’. Sebastian (Robin Dunne) has been kicked out of yet another private school and is sent home to live with his father and stepmother in New York. Here he meets his beautiful and manipulative step-sister Kathryn (Amy Adams), who will do anything to make his life a misery, especially since he has fallen for the innocent Danielle (Sarah Thompson). Kathryn tries everything to seduce Sebastian, even when his new girlfriend is around. This temptation causes many problems for Sebastion, whose past track record in relationships has not been the most honest.From Amazon.co.uk
There’s a reason you haven’t heard of Cruel Intentions 2, a straight-to-video “sequel” to the seamy teen romp that had Ryan Phillippe baring his polished behind: it’s twice as bad as the first one and is only worth a look to see just how embarrassingly trivial it can get. Writer-director Roger Kumble’s original was no classic, but at least the game, nubile cast knew how to smack its lips–his follow-up (which, in tamer form, was to be the pilot for a proposed series called Manchester Prep) can’t even pout properly. Phillippe’s Sebastian character (here played by a bland, doughy Robin Dunne) is carted back out to be reintroduced to scheming stepsister Kathryn, enacted by a woefully unsexy Amy Adams (Sarah Michelle Gellar played Sebastian’s ripe cousin in the first film). The two don’t hit it off, and Sebastian–far more sentimental than his big-screen counterpart–immediately decides he’s all for love, in the form of pristine deb Danielle (Sarah Thompson). It all amounts to a ponderously cartoonish nothing, and includes a twist ending that renders everything proceeding it completely incomprehensible. Kumble has the film spouting homilies on love and self-esteem, then randomly throws in bare breasts; it’s like a horny Saved by the Bell, without the kick or pace of good camp. –Steve Wiecking, Amazon.comSee all
