Wicked, sexy and twisted.
28 November 1999
Sarah Michelle Gellar(scream 2) and Ryan Phillipe(crimson tides) do extremely well as the hot headed brother and sister, and have solid support from Selma Blair(girl) and Joshua Jackson(scream 2). The beautiful Reese Witherspoon is the only disappointment as the 'bet'. Looking back, i can now say she was quite wooden, and not as good as she was in S.F.W with Steven Dorff and Jake Busey.

The story seems simple when you look at it;Kathryn and Sebastian are two filthy rich youngsters who have a bet. Kathryn bets Sebastian that he cannot have sex with the strict virgin Reese Witherspoon. If he does, he can have Kathryn for a night, if he doesn't then Kathryn could have his car.

But the story is not simple. Soon Sebastian has fallen in love with the bet, and Kathryn doesn't like it(very similar to she's all that) and she will stop at nothing to get Sebastian out of love. Jackson gives very funny support, as does Selma Blair, but Witherspoon just trails behind.

A great sexy black comedy with terrific performances from the two leads, Gellar and Phillipe. Rating=4/5
