SKINOPSIS

So can somebody please explain to us why, even in terrible straight-to-video knock-off/sequels to Hollywood movies, lead actresses so rarely take their fucking tops off. Take, for example, Cruel Intentions 3. Now, we could deal (sort of) with the fact that Sarah Michelle Gellar exposed no flesh in the original, but she's SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR, right? A big fucking movie star and, even a perv like us, knows that big fucking movie stars don't take off their tops unless they're feeling especially beneficient/slutty. But we've never heard of Kristina Anapau, the Gellar stand-in here. Ever, But, still she shows nothing outside of a few bikini shots. What'd ya think Kris? That one day you'd be Sandra Bullock and this would turn out to be your Fire on the Amazon. No, no, no. You suck, you can't act and the only way you could've redeemed this trash is by showing your lead actress tits. And you didn't. The only girls who do are called Tara Carroll and Elizabeth McDonald who both get fucked by different dudes in the same montage as shitty, angst music plays. Both have nice tits, but let's face it: this is a B-movie made for cheap to capitalize on a bigger budget movie that people have actually heard of. That smells like exploitation. Next time, take the good parts of exploitation (i.e. tits) and give us more, damnit.
REVIEW
The story and characters are all too familiar; even if the two leads (Kristina Anapau as the wicked siren Cassidy and Kerr Smith as Jason) are intended to be completely new and different characters, they read like second-rate imitations. In fact, their strained attempt at capturing the qualities and personalities of the scheming step-siblings from the initial film hampers their performances entirely. The only clear connection to the original, besides the obvious pilfering of the plot, is Cassidy, who is cousin to the original’s Katherine and Sebastian. Katherine and Sebastian themselves receive passing mentions - apparently Katherine is in rehab and Sebastian is dead. Not that it matters much, as Cassidy and Jason are more than happy to pick up where their predecessors left off.

Based at a Santa Barbara prep school, the two quickly begin the obligatory mind games and wagers, toying with the lives of their classmates, while constantly raising the stakes. The initial such wager allows for a somewhat surprising twist as the devious and sexy Cassidy has the tables turned on her. This twist aside, Cruel Intentions 3 offers nothing new or innovative and is little more than a poor imitation of a far superior, albeit cheesy, classic. The film tries desperately to recreate that remarkable balance of tongue-in-cheek dialogue, over the top sexuality and twisted humor that made the first so wonderful, but fails miserably. There are a few decent one-liners, some brief nudity and an incredibly sexy hotel scene - but that’s the extent of the offerings from this uninspired sequel.
