i love sarah michelle gellar and she be capable of fantastic acting a make clear in the buffy series . she have and unfortunately and be give no opportunity to show her considerable talent in film . while cruel intention be a bad movie and harvard man be one of the bad if not the bad movie i have ever force myself to sit through . the writing be practically non existent . there be many scene of back and forth dialogue with little purpose but to fill time . there be several simultaneous plot ( gamble and drug addiction and sexual cheating and deal with the mob ) and none of them interest in their execution . there be no coherence each plot thread seem force in to fill time and be not interweave with a big theme . one soon get the feeling that the movie be start with little passion from the director and then finish in a hurry to meet a deadline . harvard man be transparently what it be represent a quickly make attempt to capitalize on gellar fame . to watch it be to wait for it end and amaze that such a thing actually make it a a major motion picture . i cant believe the average rating here be close to 5. anyone who say this movie be anything but awful be either mentally deficient or have an agenda . the only reason to watch this movie be to gawk at it atrociousness .
