Warning! If you can't handle nudity and lots of explicit subject matter, Wild Things is not for you. I sat through every disgusting frame of this film. TWICE! This twist-a-minute thriller was directed by John McNaughton, who made the brilliant Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer and Mad Dog and Glory.

Matt Dillon plays a Florida High School teacher who is accused of raping a student. The student in question, is played with cornball flair by Denise Richards, who last appeared in Starship Troopers. What makes Wild Things so much fun, is it never takes itself seriously. It's just cheesy fun. The film also stars Neve Campbell, and Executive Producer Kevin Bacon, who shows off more than is acting talent.

The main problem with Wild Things is that it has too many twists, which becomes tiresome. Still, if you go into Wild Things with the right frame of mind, you'll probably have a good time. Also, stay for the end credits for some great extra footage that answers some questions you may have had.

This was a pretty fun movie but I could've done without the three way - something about Matt Dillon that's just getting gross - maybe it was There's Something About Mary but he's just not sexy anymore
