(THE STORY)
When Sebastian is kicked out of another private school because of his reputation he makes his headmaster change his school record. He goes to live with his father in New York as he has no where else to go as his mother is ill.
He heads off to New York, as his faher has remarried his stepmother Tiffany is rich and her daughter Kathryn is a tart. When Sebastian gets there he cant get his head round all the servants that are their and how much allowance he gets. He plans to forget about his past and put it behind him.
The first day of school for Sebastian, he goes to see the headmaster. While he's waiting he see's a pretty girl sitting in ther chair, he tells her how beautiful she is and then gets called in to the headmasters office.
In walks Danielle the girl he called beautiful, he didnt realise that she was the headmasters daughter, but they get to know each other and they fall in love.
Kathryn isint happy as Sebastian is better than her, so she gets her friends to help her out and tries to seduce him.

Kathryn has to be friendly to Cherrie so her mother will fund money to the school, they go horse riding and Kathryn teaches her stuff.
When Kathryn finds out about Sebasians past she tells him that he cant move on that they would be suited together, he tells her no and then goes to Danielle's.
Sebastian calls at Danielle's door and while thay are talking in her room, she opens up her wardrope door and Kathryn is there, Sebastian looks shocked and Danielle and Kathryn start kissing, then they tell him that he can join them if he wants.
When Sebastian is in the car driving to school he is opening a parcel from Danielle its the famous journal that is a big part of the first cruel intentions, she leaves him a note telling him that he will now have something to write about. I wont tell you what happens after that but you should get this film out to see what happens in the end.
Cruel Intentions was far better than this one but only for these reasons: 1. Ryan Phillippe, Joshua Jackson and Sarah Michelle Gellar where in it 2. The actors/actresses where a whole lot better and Sarah Michelle Gellar made played the part of Kathryn better and Ryan Phillippe played Sebastian better.
I did enjoy this film, and it was worth watching, but Cruel Intention will always remain my favourite film.
Advantages: so bad its funny Disadvantages: bad acting, script, direction, need I go on
...I sifted through I noticed Cruel Intentions 2. Now I knew it existed but hadn't heard much about so I thought I'd take a look. All I can say is I want 83 minutes of my life back now please! Cruel Intentions 2 started life as a televsion series called Manchester Prep. The show was based on the Cruel Intentions film. Now probably due to the fact that the show wasn't any good and that most US TV networks are quite reserved in their censorship rules, ... ...Roger Kumble- was it your cruel intention to completely ruin your mildly decent work on your debut film? If so you have succeeded with honours. I just hope you've done a better job with the Cameron Diaz/Thomas Jane film The Sweetest Thing due in 2002. If I could give this a zero reating I would believe me. ...

Advantages: it was watchable in a funny sort of way Disadvantages: The quality of acting didn't compare to the original, Repeated quotes from the first film
As "Cruel Intentions" is one of my favourite movies, on hearing about the second one I immediateley thought I must see this movie, although I did wonder how a sequel could be made after such a dramatic ending in the original film. I later found that the film was a prequel and so thought it would be interesting to see. *The Characters* Sebastian Valmont (Robin Dunne) - Sebastian has moved to New York to live with his father and his stepmother after ... ...forget his past and start afresh after falling in love with the head master's daughter Danielle but can Sebastian overcome his wicked ways after meeting his manipulative stepsister Kathryn who has dug deep to find out about his true past.

Advantages: Gives an insight Disadvantages: to alike
...as it is misleadingly called Cruel Intentions 2 and was brought out after Cruel Intentions. But Cruel Intentions is not a sequal it is a prequel.
THE ACTORS
SEBASTIAN - Robin Dunne (from Dawson's Creek)
He plays a charming an innocent character who you later learn is not so innocent. He has been kicked out of his last school and is being made to live with his father, Step mum and his step sister Kathryn.
KATHRYN - Amy Adams (From Drop Dead Gorgeous)
... ...to watch either of the Cruel Intention films when I am feeling evil. I will briefly outline the story as I don't want to give away to much as there is some nice twists in this film.
Sebastian has been kicked out of yet another private school. You get the impression that he is not quite what he seems when you see the very start of the film at his old school. When he swaps schools he has an unbleimshed record and very inpressive extra cirricular activitys.

Advantages: Language options on the DVD Disadvantages: Terrible film
My excuse: I was tricked into buying this by not looking at the box carefully enough and thinking it was the original '90s 'Cruel Intentions' not the prequel! Come on, I'm sure I wasn't the only one.
This film mimics the original in every way it can -although it claims to be a prequel - especially with the tone, actors and dialogue. It has a surprisingly good script in some places (for example Sebastian’s SAT vocabulary jibe), but I wouldn't actually ... ...the original film, or people learning languages, in which case you are spoilt for choice with the DVD. And God forbid you are a fan of the actor playing Sebastian (who was in a few episodes of Dawson's Creek)!
So, the languages: the soundtrack comes in the original English and a French dub, of which the sound quality is very clear, and there is a huge range of subtitle options including Hindi, Turkish, the Scandinavian languages, Arabic, and some ...

Advantages: nice film Disadvantages: not as good as first one
...one last night, this was Cruel Intentions 2.
THE PLOT
This film is set before the first Cruel Intentions. A young guy called Sebastian, who is played by Robin Dunne has to go and live with his father, stepmother and step sister Kathryn, who is played by Amy Adams. When he arrives he realizes that his stepmother is loaded and he is going to be living in her mansion and on top of that Kathryn and her stepmother are very stuck up and snobby.
Sebastian ... ...of you that have seen Cruel Intentions you will know that it can not be that simple, so when Kathryn starts playing games with Sebastian there are lots of twists and turns in the story line.
THE DISAPPOINTMENT
The main thing that disappointed me about this film was that none of the cast was the same as the first one, and although I think that Amy Adams did a fairly good job of carrying on the character that was created in the first film, I don't ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "Cruel Intentions 2 (DVD)"
Advantages: Cruel Intentions was a great movie Disadvantages: The other two movies weren't as good
2, made in 2000, focused on when Kathryn and Sebastian, the sociopathic brother and sister from the first movie meet and they maipulate and destroy their peers.
CruelIntentions 3, made in 2004 however, has yet another completely different cast from even the prequel. In this one, the focus is on Kathryn's cousin who turns out to be just as vicious as her cousin when she, her high school and his roommate constantly scheme to outwit each other after the roommate and friend decide to seduce and dump young women on campus together.
I give this DVD a satisfactory because the prequel and CruelIntentions 3 weren't as bad as some movies I've seen, but are much much more than a stone throw away from the goodness that was CruelIntentions.
DVD DETAILS:
Directors: Roger Kumble, Scott Ziehl
Language: English
Number of discs: 3 ...
Advantages: Humour, scandalous Disadvantages: Incest is a bit disturbing
CruelIntentions - I don;t know a single person that has watched a film out of this series and not liked it. In the original CruelIntentions, 2 rich step-siblings compete against each other to save their ego. they amke a bet. A bet which concerns funny-but-still-disgusting incest and a beautiful virgin.
CruelIntentions2 is Sebastien trying to be "good" but ofcourse his sister isn't happy wihtout a bit of manipulation.
CruelIntentions 3 is about 2 college students who set out to seduce a frigid woman at their college.
Put sex and lust together, a splash of manipulation and a sprinkle of sibling incest and whamm. You have a perfect formula for a CruelIntentions film. The films are mainly about lust, secrets and lies.
It is humourous in many places but we also feel sorry for some of the characters especially in CruelIntentions ...
Advantages: Some funny moments, good chemistry between the female leads. Disadvantages: Gross-Out humour might not be to everybody's taste.
weeks later. Courtney has a man of her own, and Christina is starting to question her own dating rules and has been reading the 'Ten Commandments Of Love' book that she usually despises.
Back in Somerset, Peter is about to leave town for good when he comes across Christina's address on the mailing list of the dress shop they visited.
The girls arrive home after a night out on the tiles to discover Peter asleep on their doorstep, but he gets nervous, stutters his way through an explanation and leaves. Christina lets him get away, but quickly resolves not to be afraid of taking a chance on love anymore, but now she has to find Peter again...
