Directed by Jack Perez (Unauthorized: The Mary Kay Letourneau Story, Unauthorized: Brady Bunch - The Final Days) and written by Ross Helford (who also wrote the Sniper sequels) and Andy Hurst (who wrote the sequel to Single White Female), this movie does credit Stephen Peters for characters, but there's not a single continuing character. In fact, it's pretty much the same story and a very similar threesome scene, which you'll soon discover just might be the defining moment of any movie called Wild Things. Brittney Havers (Susan Ward) is a wealthy Florida high school senior who has list her mother to a car crash on Gator Alley -- where she was presumably devoured by alligators -- and her stepfather Niles Dunlap (Anthony Denison, who was Joey Buttafucco in The Amy Fisher Story, the Drew Barrymore one) has just died when his private plane went down. She's about to earn a small amount of money each year until she's done with college and then $25,000 a year, with the rest of the will -- $70 million dollars worth -- going to an heir if they can be found. That heir ends up being one of her classmates, Maya King (Leila Arcieri). We soon see Brittney, Maya and the DNA test doctor all having some MFF action, which clues us in that this is all a ruse. Insurance investigator Terence Bridge (Isaiah Washington) thinks that it's a scam too, as Dunlap once had scarlet fever and was possibly sterile. That means the DNA doctor is a crocodile meal and then, well, the twists and turns start to add up. Dead people are alive, partners get double-crossed, people on the side of the law aren't and there's even an open ending that makes you think that the backstabbing hasn't stopped. Imagine if they just redid the first one, had no major stars, still had the threesome scene and shot it like a prime time soap opera. That's kind of a success in my book.

This movie sucked Isaiah Washington ( insurance agent) really did too much. The plot sucked

Direct to video sequel is predictably a downgrade in every department; most notably in the cast. Billed as 'wetter and wilder' than the first, story actually showed some potential before seeming content to settle in as a simple retread of the original's story with another threesome and (now) expected plot twists.

Billed as even wetter and wilder than the original. Two supposed enemy high school girls engage in a plan to kill and defruad one girl's stepfather. Pretty good film with at least as many twists as the original but borrows heavily from the basic plot of the original, they even duplicated the high school assembly with guest speaker. I did enjoy how the dad, worth $65 million according to Forbes, left most of his fortune in a trust account to benefit his country club.

Proves that some movies should not have sequels. Basically an exact copy of the first, down to the not-as-sexy threesome. Lame.

Its title all the warning any kind of reasonably actualized human being would need to avoid it.
