Amazon.com: Wild Things is the kind of lurid, trashy thriller that you'll either dive into with unabashed pleasure or turn away from in prudish disgust; it's entirely your choice, but we suggest the former option since it's obviously much more fun. The plot's so convoluted it's hardly worth describing, except to say that it's set in humid Florida and involves a respected high school teacher (Matt Dillon--yes, Matt Dillon as a teacher!) who is faced with accusations of rape by a student (Denise Richards, from Starship Troopers) who had been giving him the kind of attention most people would consider improper for such a 'nice' young lady. Another student (Neve Campbell) raises a similar charge against the teacher, and that's when a police officer (Kevin Bacon) begins to investigate the allegations. Just when you think the movie's gone overboard with its shameless sex and absurdly twisted plot, in drops Bill Murray as an unscrupulous lawyer (of course) to spice things up with insurance scams and welcomed comic relief. As directed by John McNaughton (who has a way of making just the right moves with this kind of film noir melodrama), Wild Things is a bona fide guilty pleasure--the kind of movie you may be ashamed to enjoy, but what the heck, you'll enjoy it anyway. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: - Just like the original but much prettier.
I really liked Wild Things the story is good. So when they re-released this on blu-ray I of course picked it up.
Its has really good picture quality. If you liked this movie but never bought it the blu-ray version is the way to go.
Rating: - great and easy transaction!
Great and easy transaction--fast shipping and product arrived in great condition. I would definitely recommend this seller!
Rating: - Better than expected
I never would have thought that this movie had scenes that could show off the power of 1080 but i was sure wrong. Any of you who remember the pool scene will know that just that in hd was well worth it. Along with all the other veiws of florida that are in the movie.
well worth the money
Rating: - Best movie ever!
This is such a fantastic movie. I watch it all the time. Love all the twists in it. Must watch!
Rating: - Nothing to feel guilty about; this pleasure is well worth, um, `pleasing'...
`Wild Things' is that type of movie that is so over the top and ludicrous it ends up making perfect sense. The plot is so `out there' and `all over the place' yet in the end it all comes together in the most grounded of ways. When the curtain closes so-to-speak you realize that you wouldn't have it any other way. Most importantly though, `Wild Things' is so much fun, so engrossing and utterly enjoyable that you'll forgive all it's absurdities and just embrace it for it's true entertainment value. `Wild Things' is just that; one wild, wild ride.
The plot, or at least what I'm at liberty to disclose, follows a young teacher named Sam Lombardo. Sam is well liked by his students; a real down to earth kind of guy. One student in particular can't seem to get enough of Sam. That student is the very wealthy Kelly Van Ryan. Kelly has that sweet innocent thing going for her, but it's very apparent that it is all just a facade. When Kelly suddenly accuses Sam of taking advantage of her the entire community is up in arms, especially Kelly's mother Sandra, who had once been in a relationship with Sam and longed to have him back. When another student, Suzie Toller, comes forward with the same accusation Sgt. Ray Duquette and Det. Gloria Perez begin their investigation; but all is not as it seems and they are soon to find that out.
What I just adore about `Wild Things' is its fearless way in which it dives full throttle into this story. Nothing is left up for grabs; it is all ... Read More
