Wild Things

Sex, money, corruption, and deciet. No, I'm not talking about the Whitehouse. These scandelous subjecs are the bread and butter of "Wild Things," starring Kevin Bacon, Matt Dillon, Neve Campbell, and Theresa Russel. The plot is so convoluted with twists and reverses that it becomes laughable, but I doubt the story is the main draw for most of the people going to see this movie anyway (myself included).

Who are we kidding? The real attraction of a flick like this lies in seeing a few of our favorite teen-idol movie stars engaged in acts of hot sex. Given that criteria, this movie ain't bad. Not wonderful, but not bad either. Some of it was also mildly funny in a rather tasteless way. If you're looking for a couple hours of shallow, adolescent sleeze, Wild Things would make a good choice.
