Well there are many reasons to like this film:
1. Denise Richards
2. Denise Richards kissing Neve Campbell
3. Denise Richards kissing Neve Campbell kissing Matt Dillon
4. Bill MurrayUnfortunately, twist after twist after twist, Wild Things isn't much more than just the mediocre, sexy thriller that it is. But I liked it.

I know why you're watching this flick and it ain't the witty dialog.

Like every other boy who was 14 in 1998, I've seen two minutes of this film before. The rest of it's good too, probably better: a pervy, shallow but very entertaining neo-noir that plays like The Last Seduction made by FHM.
Matt Dillon is a Gareth-Bale-faced guidance counsellor who's accused of rape by two students: a pair of lips with a blue bikini attached (Denise Richards) and a weed-smoking malcontent from the wrong side of the tracks (Neve Campbell). As his life is torn to shreds by Richards' wealthy mother and her society friends ahead of the much-publicised trial, he enlists the services of a lawyer and some time insurance fraudster (Bill Murray), who starts to look for dirt on…

I could lie and say the Bill Murray cameo is the best thing about this film.
But we all know that would be a lie.
Everything apart from that scene is awful. Guilty pleasure? You should be arrested.

Twist over twist over twist over twist. In the end you become tired of twists, trust no one in the movie and even predict there is another twist coming up. But none the less it was interesting and engaging in many ways!!

Keeps hovering somewhere between knowing parody and unapologetic trashiness.

Sigue siendo muy buena pelicula, pero sabiendo ya el final... pierde un poco de chicha en un segundo visionado.
Denise Richards TREMENDA !!

This movie could have rivaled Verhoeven's if it were attempting to be anything more than fun, self-conscious sleaze. As far as that goes though, this is top notch. The ludicrously convoluted plot is both beside the point and entirely the point. Denise Richards is in peak uh, form here and Bill Murray is hilarious. Notable for the debut of Kevin Bacon's penis a couple years before getting second billing in Hollow Man.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Wickedly sexy, trashy and twisty
-
It's nice when a sleazy piece of entertainment revels in it's own sleaze, especially when it manages to be quite entertaining in the process. Made during the height of the late 90s "erotic thriller" craze, McNaughton's underrated contribution to the genre isn't as deathly serious about it eroticism, which in the end makes it far more titillating than a dozen Joe Eszterhas contributions.

Erotiikkaa tihkuva kiero jännäri mullistavine juonenkäänteineen. Denise “kulmakarva” Richardsilla on ihan kivat.
