I love when a movie can be sold just on the title and doesn't need to be tied into anything in any of the other movies in the series. So here we go. Another Wild Things, this one directed by Jay Lowi (Tangled) from a script by Andy Hurst and Ross Helfer, the same guys who wrote the last one.
Marie Clifton was given two diamonds -- the "mother and daughter" -- in her mother's will, but her step-father Jay Clifton (Brad Johnson, who was in Nam Angels and was also a former Marlboro Man) has changed the will because he wants them for himself.
Meanwhile, there's a sex ed seminar at school with Dr. Chad Johnson and probation officer Kristen Richards (Dina Meyer, once Batgirl on Birds of Prey as well as roles in D-Tox, Starship Troopers and Saw), who reveals that she was the victim of a sex crime when she was in high school, which totally shuts down the raucous senior audience.
Now here's where the Wild Things drama comes in: Marie has a swim meet and her stepfather meets towel girl Elena Sandoval (Sanda McCoy, who was in the secret Porky's movie Porky's: Pimpin' Pee Wee), who he invites to Marie's eighteenth birthday party. The girls do not get along -- that's putting it mildly -- so Jay takes her to one of his construction sites and you know what happens next allegedly. Now, Detective Michael Morrison (Linden Ashby) and Richards are on the case, along with Dr. Johnson, who is to examine Elena.
If you're wondering how long it takes until Marie, Elena and the doctor are all reenacting scenes from You, Me and Dupree. How about as long as it takes to read this sentence.
But man, the twists and turns of this one are so plentiful that they take one of the things that worked so well in the original movie and show how it all came together over the credits. And for some reason, the good guys actually come out on top in this one.
How much sex, illegitimate children, gator eating and swamp chases can one small Florida town have? Well, they made four movies out of this. There's your answer. This one has the sense to just go wild -- no pun intended.

Ok, so I haven't seen the second yet but the third Wild Things is pretty much the same as the first movie; couple of hot girls scam a rich dude or 2 to make a bunch of money. Add some twists and nudity and you have a recipe for success.
It might not be classic cinema by any means but Wild Things: Diamonds in the Rough is trashy, sexy fun!

excellent movie, loved when the blonde does a catwalk turn and looks straight at the camera and says with a blue steel gaze, "that's why we're... diamonds in the rough"
