Cruel Intentions movie

Kathryn makes a bet that her step-brother, Sebastian, won't be able to bed Annette . If he loses, Kathryn gets his Jaguar, if he wins, he gets Kathryn.

The movie is a drama film based on the 18th century French novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses, but unlike other modern film versions of the novel (such as Dangerous Liaisons and Valmont), which are set in the France of that time, Cruel Intentions is set among the wealthy teens of modern-day New York society. The plot is mainly driven by a bet held between the two main characters, and it heavily involves manipulation, seduction, and love in a rich and sophisticated socially elite youth atmosphere. The film was released on March 5, 1999.

It was later followed by two direct-to-video sequels, Cruel Intentions 2 and Cruel Intentions 3. Plot summary The plot concerns a wager made between two wealthy, unscrupulous Manhattan step-siblings: Kathryn Merteuil (Gellar) and Sebastian Valmont (Phillippe). Sebastian, who has a strong reputation of deflowering young debutantes, is challenged by Kathryn to seduce Annette Hargrove (Witherspoon), a virgin recently moved to Long Island from Kansas City, Kansas. Annettes father is the headmaster of the private school that the three attend, and Annette is coincidentally staying with Sebastians aunt while her father relocates. If Sebastian wins, he gets one night of unbridled passion with Kathryn — something she has constantly refused him in the past — but if he fails, Kathryn receives Sebastians prized car, a 1956 Jaguar XK140 Roadster.Upon first meeting each other, Annette is repulsed by Sebastian, claiming she is waiting for true love before losing her virginity. She also says that she has been well-informed of his dubious reputation, but refuses to reveal who has badmouthed him.
