In a college in Santa Barbara, the amoral and evil students Cassidy Merteuil (Kristina Anapau), Jason Argyle (Kerr Smith) and Patrick Bales (Nathan J. Wetherington) play a wicked game: Jason tries to seduce Sheila Wright (Natalie Ramsey), the girlfriend of his friend Michael Cattrall (Tom Parker); Patrick tries to seduce Alison Lebray (Melissa Yvonne Lewis), who is engaged. Their final intent is just a destructive game and nothing else. Then they decide to bet who will go first with Cassidy to the bed for one dollar. "Cruel Intentions 3" is another amoral, mean and erotic tale, using the same concept of "Cruel Intentions" and "Cruel Intentions 2", but without Kathryn Merteuil, performed by Sarah Michelle Gellar and Amy Adams respectively. Cassidy has the same lack of character of the original Kathryn, and is a good substitute for the original character. Having many plot points and beautiful actresses evolved in erotic scenes, this forgettable movie is a good entertainment. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Segundas Intenções 3" ("Second Intentions 3")
Plot summary

Amoral, Mean and Erotic Tale, But a Good Entertainment
Cruel Intentions 3: Better than 2, but still shouldn't exist
Cruel Intentions (1999) was a masterpiece, one of those unexpected movies that comes along and truly blows you away. A modern adaptation of Les liaisons dangereuses it was spellbinding, but certainly a standalone film.
But Hollywood executives disagreed and decided to milk it with not one but two more films.
The second followed some of the same characters but recast and with a dreadful cashgrab story. This is a separate movie with nothing to do with the original material and is more a thriller with loosely similiar themes.
Starring Dawsons Creek/Final Destination star Kerr Smith it tells the story of two men who engage in bets that involve seducing and sleeping with women. Of course you have the female equivalent in there for good measure and plenty of twists and turns.
The twists however are very predictible and the "Turns" lack the intelligence or originality of the first movie.
Is this better than the second? Absolutely! But it's yet another cashgrab sequel that simply should never have been made.
The Good:
Has its moments
The Bad:
Not as clever as it thinks it is
Simply shouldn't exist
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
If I tried half the stuff in this film that they did I'd be arrested
Definitely better than Manchester prep!
Cruel Intentions 1...then 2....then came three! I was surprised that they released a sequel to Manchester prep, which I didn't enjoy much due to the fact that it was only in the END of the film that we get shocked, this movie shocked me at least 4 times, I guess because the plot caught me off guard (many times), but in this case the ending part wasn't as spontaneous as part II. At the first part of this film, you might get annoyed at the so called tackiness and predictability of the characters, it might even come across as boring, but when you get to the middle of it you might be shocked as the twist of their schemes goes further insane. However there are more nude scenes in this movie that could've been more subtle. Overall I give this film a B- for good entertainment and good delivery!
