Unexpected Excellence
30 December 2002
I recently viewed this movie expecting a "teeny-bopper" ticket seller that only would appeal to people who have little taste as far as cinema goes. I was pleasently suprised at this movie after I watched it. Ryan Phillipe and Sarah Michelle Gellar are perfect as two aristocratic youths in their twenties. The dialogue resembles that of "Reversal of Fortune", it is witty, sharp, smart, and entertaining. The two act as mature adults whose favorite thing in life is to play games with sexual acts on other people. Gellar makes a wager that if Phillipe has sex with the new headmaster's daughter before school starts she will have sex with him, even though they are step brother and sister, if he doesn't she gets his 65' Jaguar. It is quickly and sharply explained that there is more to the deal than what has been wagered, and things will not turn out as both of them intended. I went in with little to no expectations and came out clapping, a must see for anyone. 10/10
