''Cruel Intentions'' is a 1999 American drama film written and directed by Roger Kumble, and starring Creator/RyanPhillippe, Creator/SarahMichelleGellar and Creator/ReeseWitherspoon. The movie is a comedic and dramatic appropriation of the 18th-century French epistolary novel ''[[Literature/DangerousLiaisons Les Liaisons Dangereuses]]'' by Laclos, but unlike other modern film versions of the novel (''Literature/DangerousLiaisons'') is not set in the France of that time.

The story follows a handful of wealthy teenagers living in modern New York City. Kathryn Mertueil (Gellar) wants her step-brother Sebastian (Phillipe) to seduce freshman student Cecile (Witherspoon) in revenge for her boyfriend dumping her for Cecile. Kathryn offers him a bet: if he fails to seduce Cecile, Kathryn gets his vintage Jaguar, but if he succeeds, Kathryn will sleep with him, as Sebastian has been attracted to Kathryn since their parents wed and is furious she's the one woman he can't have. Sebastian initially refuses since he has his eye on the headmaster's daughter Annette who believes in remaining chaste until marriage, but when he learns Cecile's mother has already warned Annette about his womanizing ways, he agrees to Kathryn's offer. Thus the two begin spinning their webs of seduction, blackmail, manipulation, and betrayal, to get what they want - at least until Sebastian begins having second thoughts.
