Cruel Intentions gets its first serious imitator in this tale of youth,
insanity, betrayal, and hot chicks (with nary a brassiere among them!) in an
ultra-exclusive resort in a Hamptons-like locale.
The story is sad and pathetic, unbelievable for more than a second to anyone
with less than 45% alcohol in his or her blood stream. Lori Heuring "stars" as
a mental hospital patient who, on the recommendation of her doctor, is released
so she can work at the aforementioned resort for the summer -- in order to see
how far she's coming along with her adjustment back into the world. Here she
encounters all manner of nut-job rich kids, provoking the question of who's
more insane, her or the people she is serving as a cabana girl?
Needless to say, the body count ensues along with faux lesbianism, pool-based
cat fights, drunkenness, date rape, and more! If fully half the film had not
been shot in the dark without a single light to guide the way, well... this
film would probably have been no better anyway.
