Cruel Intentions (1999) is a DVD my wife and I recently watched together. The storyline follows a rich playboy who uses his wealth and good looks to score women and has been keeping a journal of his endeavors. One day a new dean is taking over his school and bringing a wholesome daughter with him. The young man and step sister make a sinister bet that he can't charm her. A game of cat and mouse ensues.

This movie is directed by Roger Kumble (The Sweetest Thing) and stars Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Swoosie Kurtz (Liar Liar), Christine Baranski (The Grinch), Reese Witherspoon (Legally Blond), Selma Blair (Hellboy) and Ryan Phillippe (Crash).

The storyline for this is very good at times, seems like it's trying too hard other times and is sometimes cheesy. The cast is perfectly selected and everyone is awesome. Witherspoon, Gellar and Phillippe had perfect chemistry. The storyline unfolds well and the love story elements are very entertaining. The cat and mouse game is sick and clever at the same time.

Overall this is an uneven movie but still somehow every good. I just loved the ending and soundtrack. I would score this a 7.5/10 and strongly recommend it.
