Review

Mix "Melrose Place" with The Usual Suspects and add some Faster, Pussycat, Kill! Kill! for good measure to get an idea of what delights this screwy "Florida noir" has to offer.

Set primarily in an exclusive Everglades enclave, the film features Dillon as a popular high school counselor who's accused of rape. The supposed victim is the wealthy, spoiled, over-ripe daughter (Richards) of his former slut girlfriend (Russell). Dillon seeks help from a shyster lawyer (Murray), and, after some courtroom dramatics, finds himself off the hook - but not for long. It seems that a couple of vice cops (Bacon, Rubin-Vega) think something's amiss in Dillon's easy acquittal. Their investigation leads to Campbell, a swamp urchin with more secrets than you can shake a gator at. And that, incredibly, is only the first hour.

With Stephen Peters' herky-jerky script, director McNaughton steers this sucker all over the genre map, careening from courtroom drama to carnal drama, to soap opera to satire, erotic thriller to Playboy and Playgirl nudie video. Like the Ever-ready Bunny, the plot complications keep going and going well into the final credits.

Does it all make sense? Under close inspection, not really. But why complain? This is an "A" ticket ride in a "C" movie amusement park. On the prurient side, there's a yummy threeway involving Matt, Denise and Neve (shed that good girl image, Miss Thing) and a nice prolonged full-frontal shower shot of Kevin and his rather prodigious slab of Bacon.

Loads of fun, very nasty in spots, and a must-see at least.

Wild Thing

duane wrote on 08/15/2011:

During the opening credits of "Wild Things," Denise Richards's name comes after the title, before which Matt Dillon and Neve Campbell are named. Although that fits where she was career-wise at that time, it ill fits the film. Because, quite simply, Denise is easily the high-point of "Wild Things." With her plush good looks, her fiery sexiness, and her unquenchable energy, she deftly walks away with the picture. As spoiled rich bitch Kelly Von Ryan, she certainly, definitely powers the flick and easily gives it its sizzle (She also exhibits one helluva body during, among other scenes, that now-legendary champagne-pouring three-way between her, Dillon, and Campbell). While our girl has gone on to display her carnality in other projects ("Drop Dead Gorgeous," "Dumb and Dumber"), it is "Wild Things" that shows her off to the best effect. She really and truly has the kind of babeliciousness that starts wars.
