Review of Wild Things (1998)

By Dwayne E. Leslie (20) for Boxoffice Magazine (2,896) on 04 Jun 2002

Review of Wild Things (1998)

By Michelle Goldberg (2) for Salon.com (2,725) on 24 Aug 2000

Despite the cast -- Kevin Bacon, Matt Dillon, Neve Campbell, Denise Richards, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Theresa Russell, Robert Wagner, and Bill Murray…

Lucky John McNaughton…

Review of Wild Things (1998)

By Liz Braun (961) for Jam! Movies (2,396) on 01 Jan 2000

Wild Things is a strange sort of hybrid of a movie, and it's not unlike a very long, somewhat jumbled joke. Great punchline, though…

By Harvey S. Karten (2,210) for Compuserve (1,948) on 01 Jan 2000

Review of Wild Things (1998)

By James Brundage (61) for Filmcritic.com (3,164) on 01 Jan 2000

The most guilt-inducing guilty pleasure movie that I have ever watched…
