Every other movie in the 90s was a twisty erotic thriller and smash mouth meant whatever you wanted it to. I will toot this horn every time I get the chance Denise Richards in the 90s was so stupid attractive. She's a fox. In French, she would be called "la renarde" and she would be hunted with only her cunning to protect her.

This movie might have the highest '(dumb) plot twist to running time' ratio of all time. It tries really hard to come off as cool and sexy for a while before giving up and just throwing out all sense of logic, making for a highly amusing final act.
Biggest laugh came from Matt Dillon showing up in a car which is supposed to make him look hot and desirable, while loudly playing Smash Mouth's 'Why Can't We Be Friends'. Ah, the 90's.

Ham-handed thriller that gets more and more ridiculous as the twists start piling on. It does make sense in the end but the way it's filmed jars you out of it. Bill Murray provides intentional comedic relief, while everyone else provides unintentional comedic relief. Seriously, if this was intended as a comedy it would be one of the best. Bacon's reaction to Campbell and Richards' famous "scene" is the hardest I've laughed all week.

This movie was really hard to believe, but the racy story and incredibly hot sexy women go a long way to overshadow its shortcomings. The action never stop in this wild ride. Proof that crime can pay, that is, if you are smart enough. Beauty, treachery and deceit from beginning to improbable end. A thrill ride if you can overcome the obvious flaws. Just when you think you've got it all figured out, the plot twists like a pretzel again. Great surprises and interesting performances.

Partly amusing but extremely silly thriller concocted with a sense of abandon, as evidenced not just by its stylised fantasy sexiness and its roller-coaster narrative, but also by the decision to make "fuck off" the opening line of the film, and the decision to place the denouement during the credits.

Last year I gave this a 25 on account of it toeing the line between knowing and stupid far too often. But on a rewatch I find the film to be much sharper than I gave it credit for. It's a consistently sleazy and cynical satire of an erotic thriller - it's every cliche and twist in the book pushed up to 11 and it revels in it. Endearingly nasty and tacky, and so much fun scenery chewing I can't help but be impressed. Props especially to Bill Murray, who has far too much fun. Kevin Bacon too!

Taking cues from neo-noir/thriller/erotica of late 80s/early 90s, it is its own beast. There is NOTHING else like it. The switching of protags (and genres) throughout is brilliant and deftly manipulates the viewer just as "The Players" fuck each other over. The vicious schemes and mind games are inspired and exhilarating to watch unfold. The stunning hyper-stylized world and decadent melodrama with a mean bite keeps drawing me back 16 years later. TOTAL FUCKING MASTERPIECE.

While Denise Richards was the one who had a career that only lasted from 1997-1999, it is Campbell who has zero chemistry with the rest of the cast. Dillon, Richards, Murray, Kevin's Bacon, they all seem to be having a good time but this sweaty pulp isn't as clever as I remember.

Extended cut. Another film that is so much in popular culture that I've put off watching. It's too bad since besides the sexy scenes there is a decent bit of tension. There are so many plot twists but they are simple and easy to follow. Only bad piece of acting is Theresa Russell's line readings that don't show any chemistry w/Richards. Fav scenes: Bill Murray; I don't remember specifically what, but Kevin Bacon at one point makes a wide-eyed shocked reaction to something.

This picture needs even more sex & nudity, particularly some better shots of Neve & the boys, but to be fair, there's more full monty here than in The Full Monty. The pretty solid sexual tension of the first half of the picture gives way to twisty turns that amuse quite well despite our being so misled. Do we need the ending nonsense? No, but its all so fun, why not?

Amazing! Performances aren't perfect (Bacon is as solid as usual, though) but many of the characters are supposed to be acting anyway, right? The script is bloody awesome, with enough narrative deceptiveness to match the scheming ways of the players, entangled in a deadly game. You'll find few thrillers, if any, with as many unexpected twists and turns as 'Wild Things'. Hell, how can one but marvel at the audacity to cram in several extra surprises during the end credits?! criminally underrated.

I'm kinda irritated at myself for liking this movie so much. It's all kinds of terrible for the first 40 minutes and I almost switched it off. In the end, the sex and the promise of twists in the plot kept me going. I don't think I even decided it had been worthwhile until the credits sequence... and I really think one should know before that! Ah well, a little Bill Murray goes a long way... to helping me recommend this movie.
