I was 13 when this movie came out and my mom was really into Colin Firth at the time and I'd been in the room when she watched Valmont, which I think is a remake/reimagining of Dangerous Liaisons. I immediately recognized the elements in Cruel Intentions! Mostly, though, I remember the soundtrack. "Bittersweet Symphony" always reminds me of this movie and that particular scene.

Your insight is the one of many things I look forward to with each reaction, and as a fan of this movie, you’ve touched on things I never thought about until now. The lack of parents is wild. And the ones that were present were focused on the wrong things. I am a huge Sarah Michelle Gellar fan. Although i didn’t see her first foray into a villain role from her soap opera days, this turn as Katherine is fascinating to watch. Going from seeing her as bubbly Buffy to a stone-cold manipulator in Katherine is fascinating to watch and a call to her acting. The twists are jaw-dropping and the end is the cherry on top of it all. Ryan Phillipe ( Sebastian) was a big heart throb during that time. He and Reese Witherspoon met and fell in love (and eventually married and had kids) filming this movie. She mentions crying a bit after filming their fight scene because she felt so bad slapping him. Like you said, not the typical fairy tale ending but a bittersweet finale that suited the natural progression of the characters. Your face during the kissing lesson had me cracking up! That scene, and this movie, had a bit of controversy when it premiered. It had a young cast playing very dark and sexual roles, but they pulled it off well, in my opinion. My question to the community: how old were you when you first saw this film?
