Yes, not only was it hot as hell, but there was some nice twists and turns, bill murray in a great role, everything was pretty good except for the big ham at the end.

Ehhh....

It's a dressed up explotation movie. It's nice for the sex scenes and Murray is funny, but a lot of the dialog is wooden and the whole subplot with Kevin Bacon and his partner sucks.

That scene wasn't as hot as I was led to believe it would be. Neve needed to be naked.

Otherwise, it was a pretty enjoyable film.

Lesbian scenes + Kevin Bacon's wang = Crazy Delicious

Wild Things reminded me one of Zalman King films, the director who is known for his erotic softcore B movies such as: Wild Orchid, Wild Orchid 2, The Red Shoe Diaries series, and others.

I thought it was sexy, dangerous, and hip. Loved the twists. One of the few films where I did not see the end coming.

I used to have this on dvd. Might pick it up again down the road.

A fun, trashy movie. I enjoy it the same I do Basically It-Stinks. Only that flick didn't have Bill Murray of all people show up halfway through.

My only gripe with the film is that there were so many twists that it actually became kinda predictable towards the end.

I thought this movie was fine.

Was it good? Not really. The last half kind of drags it down and it feels too long.

But, it was entertaining

Guilty pleasure. Enjoyable but far from great.

Really though, I don't see how anyone could not watch this in one sitting. Especially the first time you see it. Even if you don't like the film - it's one of those movies that you just want to see how it ends.

well, if you got it in the 5.50 bin, then you got the wrong verison. unrated version ads more to the end credits, and the pool scene is extended.

Good guilty pleasure, good eye candy. I haven't seen it in awhile, but I also remember really liking the flick's "swampy" music.

Yes, the "Swampy" music added a certain sweaty, smutty feeling to everything, it fit perfectly.

I like this film as well, but haven't seen it in quite a while. Bill Murray rocks.
