The Worst Film Ever

Memorable, crazy movie

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

"Tangled" director Jay Lowi's "Wild Things" sequel "Wild Things 3," a.k.a. "Wild Things: Diamonds in the Rough" qualifies as more of the same things as well as tame things. The exotic sunny Florida locations, the treacherous bare-breasted babes, and melodrama galore make the action tolerable to watch, even if the acting has, on the whole, an amateurish spontaneity. Not surprisingly, "Wild Things 2" scribe Andy Hurst, who also penned "Single White Female 2," has things down pat with this second sequel. Like the previous "Things," two gals are looking for the good life, even if it means that a man has to suffer the bad life. Most of the characters lack charisma and they turn on each other in a heartbeat. Eventually, some even wind up paying the piper. Indeed, the only decent, likable character in "Wild Things 3" is ruthlessly taken advantage of and his trust abused. Lowi generates enough momentum with the melodramatic elements in the narrative so that this nonsense doesn't wear out its welcome.Teenager Marie Clifton (Sarah Lang of "American Pie 2") is itching to get her fingers on $4-million dollars worth of diamonds when she turns eighteen, but her stepfather Jay Clifton (Brad Johnson of "Always") is putting up roadblocks. Marie's high school girlfriend suggests that she get a lawyer to fight Jay. During a pool competition where Marie competes, Elena Sandoval (Sandra McCoy of "Cry Wolf") is cleaning up. Jay takes pity on her and invites her to Marie's party. At Marie's party, Marie slaps Elena around in a frisky little catfight and they both wind up in the pool. Later, Elena has a rendezvous with Jay at his construction site. Jay is running behind on a project and the contractors are upset.The next morning Jay finds the police, Detective Michael Morrison (Linden Ashby of "Wyatt Earp") and Kristen Richards (Dana Meyers of "Starship Troopers") at his lush home. They arrest him for the rape of Elena Sandoval and Jay finds himself on trial for a crime that he never committed. Elena, it seems, was on parole, too, at the time. Marie truly hates her now.The Andy Hurst screenplay goes into overdrive during the second half and the co-conspirators come out of the woodwork by the dozens. Meanwhile, Detective Morrison who is getting divorced from his wife discovers that another member of the Blue Bay Police Department has her eyes on him—Detective Kirsten Richards. They get it on in the evidence room because the inevitable call interrupts them.At least, this derivative straight-to-cable melodrama with its wild twists and turns wraps itself up in 87 merciful minutes. The girls look really hot, awesome, and cute and the lesbian love scenes with Lang and McCoy swapping spit in the shower with a bare breast or two between him adds a little sizzle to this jaded saga.

Even though everyone knows this movie doesn't compare to the original movie, it's still a great movie. Personally I think Marie and Elena are good actors even though they could have done better. Let me also say the sex scenes were really hot. This is not deja U all over again like the last person said. It is a completely different movie with a completely different plot. Maybe one or two twists were predictable, but most of them weren't. It was a lot better than Wild Things 2 and I don't know why everyone dislikes this. The girls weren't as hot as the ones in the other movie, but they were still extremely hot. My grade for this movie is a B+ and I really recommend it.

For those who are familiar with the "Wild Things" film series, then you should know that each one follows the same formula: sexy teens, oversexed grown-ups, dumb cops, people who don't seem as they appear, dead bodies and an ending with a twist. And as usual, the action takes place in the hot town of Blue Bay.In the case of "Wild Things:Diamonds in The Rough, we have Marie Clifton (Sarah Laine),who is fighting to get her inheritance left to her. Jay, her father (Brad Johnson),is not making it easy for her to get it. Can't say that you blame her. After all, it is $4 million dollars worth of diamonds. Jay, on the other hand, has issues of his own: his business is in trouble and he's been charged with raping Elena Sandoval (Sandra McCoy),your typical trailer-park teen with a criminal past (complete with an ankle monitor).All evidence points to Jay raping Elena, but Detective Kirsten Richards (Dina Meyer)smells something funny going on. And she's not far off.This made-for-DVD movie is a lot better than the previous entry in the series, but who is involved in the scheme is so obvious. And the opening scenes are similar to the first film (Cops in the school talking about sex crimes, with rowdy teens acting stupid). For fun, you might want to sit back and watch all three and compare them for yourself.

This is the perfect movie to watch after a hard day at work, when you just want to give your brain a rest and indulge in some trashy entertainment. I was especially impressed, considering how much I hated the second film. I bought the "Wild Things" box set, which has all three of the films, so it's good to know that two out of three of the films are worth watching. Sure, this ain't exactly Shakespeare, but it's intriguing and fun. I was glued to the screen from start to finish. Unlike the second entry in the series, the acting is pretty good for direct-to-video standards. It's not much better than the acting you'd see on an afternoon soap, but it works, being that the "Wild Things" films are kind of like soap operas. Like in the other two films, there are tons of plot twists and over the end credits, we watch tiny scenes that explain how these twists occurred. And of course, we have to have the good ol' threesome scene. It's great to watch, being that the two lead actresses are very gorgeous and their lesbian scenes are pretty hot--not like in some other films where the girls kiss with their lips barely touching each other. Some of the plot twists are downright ridiculous, but that didn't ruin the film for me. Like I said, it's almost like a soap opera. You're just watching to be intrigued and to keep guessing what will happen next. And what can I say? It's one hell of a ride.
