lets just say that i've only seen screencaps, from 2 very key scenes, but i was wondering if indeed the movie was any good, or if it was just for the t&a?
my girlfriend kind of wants to see it.

Yes, it was pretty clever at times. A lot better than I thought it was gonna be.

It's decent. Nothing special but you shouldn't feel like you waster two hours.

It's a fun movie. You'll like it.

Kind of reminds me of Very Bad Things. Not a great flick, but very entertaining.

For 5.50 at Wal-Mart, you can't really go wrong. I agree with Popcorn, it definitely surpassed my expectations when I saw it

It's worth watching for Bill Murray's hilarious preformance in the first half hour.

I picked this up new when it was released, and it surprised me. I thought it was quite good. HOWEVER, I saw it without seeing the trailer first.

Resist the temptation to view the trailer, as it spoils a good portion of the movie and turns some clever switcharounds into just another plodding plot point.

God I hate trailers that give too much away.

I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought, and it was mostly because of Bill Murray. His scenes alone are worth checking the movie out for, but the eye candy is quite good, too

thought this was a decent movie. my mom complained that the acting wasn't top notch, but i mentioned because of the subject, and the sleeze, that it was supposed to be a bit cheesy.

Its definitely a movie worth watching. It's a movie that rates high on the guilty pleasure list.

Good fun film but, the lesbian scene is worth the price of admission alone !!

It is a good movie, and not just for the T&A.

The unrated cut is the version of the film you want to see, its even better than the theatrical cut. And not just for the extra T&A, they add other scenes back in too.

Excellent Neo-Noir.
Agreed. Even w/o the racy sex scenes, this movie stands well enough on its own in that sense.

My wife hated this movie, and I'm sure it was because of those scenes. I enjoyed the movie in spite of them.

Wild Things features one of my favorite Bill Murray perfomances. Overall, this is an enjoyable movie.

Same here. I saw it when it played in theaters and enjoyed the hell out of it. Thankfully, I never saw the trailer. So a few of the twists caught me offguard.

The only real complaint I have with Wild Things is that there are so many twists in the third act that they start to become predictable. About the only twist at the end that I didn't see coming was the very last scene during the closing credits.

It's great until you see Kevin's Bacon.

Bill Murray is the man though.

That's the part I liked :drool:

Overall, it's a fun/trashy film.

I thought it was horrible movie but it's hard to watch anything with Denise Richards.

Yes, Kevin is big.

i was quite surprised at how much i liked the movie. the twists are really well done. i've only seen it a couple times and i got the new version, i just hope it doesn't wear thin on another viewing or two.
