This movie is seriously entertaining. I sat and watched it and was pleasantly surprised as I didn't really like Ryan Phillipe as an actor. But this film changed my view, he was very believable and entertaining.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, in my opinion should have won a Beat Actress Oscar for this role, it was played to perfection and Reese Witherspoon should have won Best Supporting Actress, but because it is a teen movie the acting can't be taken seriously, and so they aren't even considered, which is not fair!! I loved Greg & wished we could have seen more of him. To sum up, purely excellent, and should have won Oscar's. If you want to see an excellent movie which goes beyond the teen genre watch this but AVOID the prequel, Cruel Intention 2 like the plague, as it ruined a good movie and was completely tacky!!
