better than a guilty pleasure
posted on 13 Aug 2009Wild Things is on the surface some kind of knockoff version of that old Melrose Place TV show, is actually a very interesting twist-a-minute thriller with a very great cast. I have seen this on television every chance I get and I am knocked out every time.
What a tangled web we weave...
posted on 20 Jul 2009None of the principal players in this film is likeable, with the exception of Daphne Rubin-Vega as the female detective. In spite of that (or maybe because of it), this is a thoroughly enjoyable movie, with more twists and turns than a theme park roller coaster. Definitely not a movie for the kids, "Wild Things" earns its R rating.Don't expect Oscar-caliber performances. Do expect to be entertained and surprised. Above all, do see this movie and enjoy it for what it is.
TWIST & SHOUT
posted on 23 Jun 2009Chalk up one less degree for those working with producer/star Kevin Bacon in this wicked swamp-steamy potboiler. When all's done but the twisting and shouting, the famous game may be all that this movie's good for.Our sub-tropical treatise on greed is set in an oozingly rich faux Miami suburb named Blue Bay. At a yuppie private school in town well-endowed cheerleaders practice their pep as guidance counselor/sailing instructor hunk Matt Dillon is accused of rape by Blue Bay's richest brat-ette (Denise Richards). In true CRUCIBLE style, town bad girl (Neve Campbell, over-acting in spades) soon joins in the finger pointing pitting Miami bitch matron Theresa Russell (as the mom also scorned) against Counselor Dillon and his low-rent lawyer (Bill Murray, in a performance restrained only by the editor's shears.)From then on this lurid Everglades epic has more twists and turns than the West Coast Highway. Add in Robert Wagner, Carrie Snodgress, Broadway's Daphne Rubin-Vega (wooden) and a bunch of hungry gators (lovingly shot), and stir well. After plot control has been handed off for the umpteenth time, our flick loses all common sense and it's clear anything goes - logic be damned!
Fade-out inserts that help dimmer viewers fill in the plot are insulting and unnecessary. Give us some credit! Unlike play to film thriller DEATHTRAP, which also turned the tables time and again, WILD THINGS has no characters you care about and spends most of it's screen time soaking in the Florida sunshine and that glowing moon over Miami. Kudos to DP Jeffrey L. Kimball for this motion-based tourism brochure.
Bad, but in a good way!
posted on 11 Jun 2009Denise Richard's success as an actress comes from the way her breasts distract you from her horribly wooden acting. That's OK though, because there's a lot to like about this movie. The REAL actors, like Matt Dillon, Kevin Bacon, and Bill Murray put on a great, campy show with lots of plot twists, murder, suspense, and even more plot twists. I especially loved the three-way sex scene where Neve Campbell keeps her clothes on till the end, finally exposing her bare back, while Denise puts on quite the soft-core show with Matt. Because, you see, Neve isn't THAT kind of actress. No nudity, her contract says! Anyway, zap that microwavable popcorn and turn out the lights, because this movie is well worth renting.
SHOCKING!
posted on 09 May 2009This is a great film. Because of the twisting plot, this film will even be liked by people who don't normally like murder mysteries. My advice is RENT it, WATCH it (CLOSELY) then watch it again! And DON'T stop the tape when it says "The End", you'll miss even more TWISTS!AWESOME!
Hitchcock meets MTV
posted on 09 May 2009It's not really that worthy of the Master, but it's got a few decent twists and turns. I didn't think it had that much sex/nudity (three, maybe four scenes over 108 minutes). Actually, I thought the twists were kinda telegraphed a bit much: it's one of those movies where about a minute before the shoe drops, you realize, "Hey, it must be [Person X]!" Hitchcock wouldn't have done that.Bill Murray is hilarious, and Kevin Bacon is okay. I wasn't overly impressed by anyone else. The insertion of the scenes at the end is probably the best part. Most of it is unnecessary, but at we least we find out how the baddie is going to get at the money at the end.
A Few Too Many Twists
posted on 27 Apr 2009I almost hate to say this, considering the films I've dissed because they had no plot, but the truth is "Wild Things" has more plot than it knows what to do with it.Eventually it reaches the point of unbelievability, and unintentional hilarity.I gave it 6 stars out a possible 10 because it tries hard. In fact, it tries a little too hard. I did enjoy the film, however. It is fast paced and held my interest throughout, nor was the plot difficult to follow.The story begins with a high school unlike any I ever attended. The students seem to have sex on the brain 24/7. The girls behave very seductively, and one can only wonder how the single Sam Lombardo,(played by Matt Dillon)teacher and counselor, has managed to behave himself and resist the temptation.One afternoon two girls, one of them being Kelly Lanier Van,(played by Denise Richards) daughter of the town's richest slut, and evidently a bit of a skank herself, are at Sam Lombardo's house to wash his car as part of a money raising project for the senior class.What follows is Kelly Lanier Van and her mother bringing rape charges against Sam Lombardo.Did he or didn't he? Suddenly another girl shows up, Suzie,(played by Neve Campbell) who is considered swamptrash, and she tells a similar story to Kelly's.But this is only the beginning of the surprises in store in this film.
This comedy perpetrates as a suspense thriller!
posted on 06 Apr 2009I wished I had seen this movie when it was at the theater! This movie is awesome! The story was good, the plot twist (s) was unexpected and necessary! To be honest I found this movie to be kind of funny! Especially scenes involving Kelly and her mother had me rolling! How many people do you know offer there own children depressants! Sandra Van Ryan tripped me out when they was at the police station and inside the limousine! The threesome scene threw me! This movie is worth watching whenever you need a good laugh along with some suspense!
A sexy sizzler that will keep you guessing. *** out of ****
posted on 02 Feb 2009When I first heard of "Wild Things," I expected it to be one of those greatly offensive lurid trash movies that contain lots of vulgar material, sexy twists and bizarre happenings. After watching it, I realized that I was corrected. What I never guessed, however, was how entertaining the movie actually was. This movie has more unexpected twists in it than it can actually tell in its 113 minutes, so in the ending credits they're still explaining the hidden elements. This is a clash of originality, sex, humor and suspense and fun.The movie's plot is so annoying, yet smart and trashy. The filmmakers give only enough information away so that we can't figure anything out on our own, and that we can guess and interpret things maybe differently that a person watching the film from a different angle.It takes place in a Florida town called Blue Bay. It's a little city where alligators roam the green tropical swamps and marshes that look creepy and uneasy. Matt Dillon plays Sam Lombardo, a well respected high school guidance counselor, who at the beginning, hosts a seminar about sex crimes. Kevin Bacon is officer Ray Duquette, and his partner, played by Daphne Rubin-Vega, is named Gloria Perez.Then the film introduces the attractive young Kelly Van Ryan, the rich spoilt but unhappy brat of Sandra Van Ryan, who is having an affair with Lombardo. The father of Kelly killed himself, leaving the two of them lonely and hapless for years.Another key player in the film's plot is Suzie Toller (Campbell), another young lady who lives in a beat-up trailer behind an alligator farm, and is not so wealthy.Soon after the characters are properly introduced, Kelly follows Lombardo home, asks for a ride to someplace, washes his car, and appears in his living room so wet and seductive, only the imagination can wonder what happens next, for all that we see in Kelly leaving the trailer of Sam's after a while looking mad. Latter, we learn that she is testifying that she was raped by him. Her mother is outraged.The movie follows a series of over six twists (I counted, but I may have missed a few, it is hard to tell.) many double crosses, unexpected turns, character deceptions and even a few triple crosses leaving only the phrase that comes to mind that no one is who they seem to be.The actors are indeed a little soap opera like. That is Especially true for Denise Richards, from "Starship Troopers," who's entirety seems so over acted and fake, put on that I didn't even buy her character. Who is devilishly perfect, however is Neve Campbell. My raves go out to this person who is capable of a performance tower above all others here. Kevin Bacon and Matt Dillon both were right on the mark, here. While Theresa Russell and Bill Murray did what they could in what little screen time they had.After screening "Goodbye, Lover" a few days ago, and "Wild Things" today, I am beginning to realize what movie like this are all about; they exists only to keep an audience guessing what will happen next, but then, they don't necessary know what already has happened, now do they?
Twists and Turns Galore
posted on 18 Jan 2009For the first third of the movie I believed it was going to be a standard courtroom drama. Then it becomes a noirish mystery with the most plot twists since THE USUAL SUSPECTS. And, unlike that movie, WILD THINGS has some real sexual heat. The main characters, Bacon, Dillon, Campbell, and Richards turn in excellent performances, as does Bill Murray as a sleazy lawyer. And a mesmerizing voodoo musical score by George Clinton sets the deep, tropical mood of the southern Florida locale. I love these kinds of movies and this movie did not disappoint...not by a long shot.
Who cares? (spoiler)
posted on 03 Jan 2009Don't read this if you want the plot completely ruined for you. My problem with this movie is that if you have a slate of characters who are all thoroughly vindictive and sneaky, who cares what happens to them? Doesn't there have to be some sort of protagonist for a plot to exist? I guess we are supposed to feel good that Neve Campbell's character comes out of this mess on top--but why? Because she had the least money? This is a completely despicable movie--an incomprehensible plot written around the chance to show Neve Campbell in a split-second three-way scene.
I was totally blown away
posted on 28 Dec 2008I was totally blown away when I saw this movie. I went to the cinema and just chose this by chance. I had never heard of it before. Little did I know that I was going to witness one of the best movies I have ever seen. Several times through the movie I thought "HA! So THAT is how it is" only to be surprised within ten minutes. This is definitely a must-buy for me. I liked the plot extremely much and think it's the best since The Usual Suspects. I have never really drooled over sex scenes (with the exception of Priest) and didn't do it here either, but I liked them. The actors are very good. See this movie if you haven't, because it is a killer. LOVE IT!!
more cheap thrills
posted on 25 Nov 2008I rented Wild Things because it made a "Top 10 Hottest Movies" list in Cosmopolitan magazine. It's a reasonably sexy, entirely disposable film, but it's certainly entertaining. It got a lot of notice primarily because Neve Campbell (teen heartthrob from TV's Party of Five) gets into a menage-a-trois with Matt Dillon and Denise Richards.It is pretty silly, but it is a fun ride while it lasts, and there is plenty to look at, if you're looking for a sexy thrill (hey, it worked for me). There are lots of great looking people wandering around with little on, plot twists aplenty, and a rapid fire pace to the whole thing. So, while I'm glad I didn't pay to see it in the theatre, it was definitely worth the money at the video store.
Great Suspense and Mystery
posted on 10 Nov 2008I thought it was a great movie, edited beautifully, and then the missing scenes in the credits was a nice touch. The acting was superb one of my favorite movies of the year, I see many movies a year and its a thoughtful process and I rank my favorites as a whole, the movie had great acting, scenery, cinematography, and cohesion. An over all winner in my book, look forward to more of the direction and writing and acting from the persons who brought this great film together
Tries to be smart, ends up stupid
posted on 26 Oct 2008Wild Things has many things going for it; initially anyway. The cast of beautiful people look good and play their parts well enough. The plot starts of with loads of suspense and really makes you wanting to see more . Of course there's THAT scene. And there's Bill Murray as well. But then midway thorough it all comes undone, badly.The film tries very hard indeed to be intelligent by constantly second-guessing the viewer via the means of twists and swerves but fails badly. The twists don't add anything worthwhile and instead sabotages the whole story, leaving gaping plot-holes everywhere. The characters are also just unbelievable. They try the 'you think you know them but you don't' trick but instead they come up with characters that have no real 'character'. They constantly switch personalities and then back again at will with zero sense behind it. All these would probably have been overlooked but for the fact that the 'BIG' twist right at the end just encapsulates all that is wrong with film and then magnifies them. The ending just well happens and the viewer is just left wondering 'what the?!'. It doesn't build towards it, it just happens leaving one shaking one's head in disbelief and disgust. NOT intelligence, pure stupidity.A too contrived film with an ending that's just ridiculous ruins what could and should have been a cracker. What promised to be a smart, sexy thriller turned out to be a damn ugly mess.
Horrible, horrible, horrible
posted on 20 Oct 2008If you had two hours left to live, and could do anything you wanted, watch this movie. Two hours would suddenly feel like a lifetime. Stick figure acting, a connect-the-dots plot of twists and turns, and erotic scenes you cannot quite define as either extreme softcore porn or hardcore ham. Two teenage girls in shorts and tank tops washing a Jeep and hosing each other down in slow motion? Frequent zooms in on Denise Richards's butt? And then the movie features the New Kevin Bacon game - how many steps is he away from sucking in this film? All in all, a horrible waste of good time. Watch a mystery, watch a thriller, watch an adult movie if you must, but don't watch this.
Trashy But Good
posted on 02 Oct 2008This story in the hands of a mediocre director with a cast of unknowns could have ended up to be some grade B soft core porn flick. Yet from the beginning, I was very surprised how something so trashy could be this good.Let's begin with the underlying humor in the film. The start of the story brings in Theresa Russell and Robert Wagner who play their parts in such an exaggerated, soap opera way, that this is as much a comedy as a "crime thriller". Then we have the younger characters played well by Campbell and Richards along with Matt Dillon. In their scenes the style of the director turns what should be routine exploitation into artful sleaze. In the middle of all this pops up Bill Murray of all people in a terrific supporting role as a crooked lawyer. And to top it off there is a decent mystery underneath all of the nonsense. This is not a great film but it is certainly entertaining and the talent involved is in some ways better than the material deserved. But who cares, have some fun and just watch this wild thing.
The best movie ever made
posted on 16 Aug 2009Intentions, suspense, a great story, a little bit of violence, a little bit of sexuality...that's all what a great movie should have. And this movie has all of the things. It's the best movie ever made. The actresses Neve Campbell and Denise Richards are the perfect girls for the acting like the bi-sexual and drug liking girl and the rich spoiled well-off child. And Matt Dillon is the perfect "good" teacher. But the best is the always changing action: When Lombardo killed Suzie, Detective Kelly, Lombardo Detective, Suzie Lombardo...it's great to think always "oh what happened"!!! Don't miss the explaining after the movie, only so you can understand the "action".If you want to talk with me about that movie or about any other things like actors, directors, movies...E-M@IL me!!!At last I want to say: Watch that movie, you'll like it!!!
