The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Wild Things stars Neve Campbell, Denise Richards, Matt Dillon, and Kevin Bacon and this guidance counselor gets accused of raping one of his students and from there we have a detective, mystery, erotic thriller in one movie. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. There's so much more to this than meets the eye than just a boring erotic movie that can have too much erotic and not enough thriller and vice versa. But this does a good job balancing out these categories and don't get me wrong I enjoy a good erotic movie as much as the next person, but there has to be more to a movie than just one specific subject. This could also pass for an Alfred Hitchcock movie if he was still alive. The score is so well done that I was intrigued to see where this would take me and it got even better and better when I watched it. Everyone played there parts perfectly including Denise Richards whom I'm not a big fan of hers but this role was perfect for her and Neve Campbell will always be my 90s crush who displays the right amount of toughness and gothic without overdoing it. Even Bill Murray who isn't quite what you expect when watching this type of genre. The movie kept it short sweet and simple and not once was I bored or a scene didn't drag forever so we could see what the conclusion to this whole mystery was. Overall, the movie did its job it knew what it was going to be and this movie shows that all you need is a right cast, a script that's not too complicated to follow, and most importantly confidence and hats what this movie proves my point.

Could be better if don't deceive the audience,when all facts are in the table the story drives to right and natural direction,but somehow it changes without noticed by viewers,after half hour another twist,it's a merry-go-round,lost all respect and becomes a joke,interesting but just until page 3...nothing more,the gorgeous girls are a highlights from this mess....just for entertainment only don't take it so seriously!Resume:First watch: 2.000 / How many: 2 / Source: Cable TV-DVD / Rating: 7

17 years after seeing Wild Things, my memory is pretty sketchy, much the same as the movie. All I can recall is that there were some interesting plot twists and turns that kept me watching. The story of a detective--Kevin Bacon, I think--involved in something or another about murder and a guidance counselor--Matt Dillon?--and two nymphets-- Neve Campbell and Denise Richards--and, oh, whatever. The only reason people, er, guys watch this movie is to see Campbell and Richards having sex. Wild Things is raunchy, but it has just enough skill in the storytelling that it isn't purely soft porn.If you're not terribly interested in letting the mutt in your brain pan lick himself (Stop that, Rover!) while watching the two gals "kiss and make up," you may find Wild Things marginally interesting, although it gets off (sorry) to a very weak start that telegraphs that much of the film's focus is below the belt.Funny story: At the recent White House Correspondents' Dinner, Fox News' Jesse Watters was interviewing Neve Campbell and brought up the pool scene with Denise Richards and her. She got a snarky grin on her face and said something like "It figures you'd like that."I'm no prude, but was that a slam at Watters or conservatives or just guys in general?My mutt would respond but he's busy.
