movie review - Cruel Intentions

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1999.08.28

This one was better than I expected, but I expected I'd walk out. It's about a pack of wealthy brats drifting around various expensive New York homes, screwing each other. The plot is reasonably entertaining, but the characters seem secondary to the preening of the actors. Pah. One star.

Not recommended.
