Wrong everything
This is one of the worst book adaptations Ive seen in a while.The tone was all over the place and couldnt decide what it wanted to be.It felt like the people who made this film has never dealt with a real teenagers in their lives or knew anything about the French Culture.Go and watch Cruel Intentions instead if you want to see a more modern approach to this 1782 French novel adaptation.

Grotto -bad remake of the original from 1988.
Here everything was trimmed on Fresh and young but forgot good actors.The script is not well thought out and only people from 20 will be the target group.

too american, too political
The french completely lost their edge they want to be american political. The whole film is a big pretentious american agenda pushing parody. Really sad how hard they are concentrating on being woke american rather than having their own identity.

Secrets revealed
No pun intended and of course not everything can always be revealed. The movie starts off quite promising to say the least. The seemingly main female character is quite charming and has won the posters and I reckon many viewers over no matter what. But after that the movie takes a turn introducing a lot of other characters and getting quite convoluted in the process.There are worse things of course and the movie is decent overall. There is the revelation scene no pun intended towards the end it works mostly. But it takes too much time and has not enough highlights if you can call it that like that one ... so you have decide for yourself if this is something you want to invest time in.

May be my least favorite adaptation of dangerous liaisons
This is a French contemporary adaptation of Dangerous Liaisons and I am afraid that it isnt very good. There were a few bits here and there that I enjoyed...like the lead actress who plays Celene gorgeous with her contrasting eye color and the rap song that tells the story in a very modern way.It was pretty wild that they would have a modern retelling and then have a theatrical production of another modern retelling of the same story within the film. Its almost as though they couldnt make up their mind about which way they wanted to go.The contrived social media aspect was truly horrible but the worst part of the film is the change in the ending. Did they think the modern climate couldnt handle the real dealI thought the film Cruel Intensions did a much better job telling the story in a modern and believable way...so I am going to recommend that film instead of this one.Best part of the film was the French Atlantic coast setting but you dont get to see a lot of it.

A parody that nobody laughs at
But I will give one star for the cute couple and the potential they would have if there was a storyline a director and some actual acting. Hopefully even the 16yolds will cringe at this.

Love Conquers All, Despite Social Media
This sweet French film is perfect for these sultry summer days. Set at Victor Hugo High School at the coastal town of Biarritz in the south of France two suitors vie for the hand of Celene portrayed by an excellent Paola Locatelli. Over the course of the film her heart and life are involved in a tug of war set in motion by various actors with seemingly nefarious purposes. However in the end true love does win.

enjoyable not pale
Dont let the negative reviews stop you from seeking out this very engaging movie. Granted it might not be for everyone clearly the ones who cant stand inclusion and diversity but If youre mature and have an open mind you will enjoy this movie. The acting is very good and the two main leads actress actor have amazing chemistry and I would love to see them star in other movies or maybe a series together.

For this generation
The concept is strong and the music flows beautifully. I do feel that the storyline could have went in a better direction but does play into some generation Z perspective. The actors could have been stronger not the most memorable . Cute love story .

Love it
It is about romance and yes there were some scenes that were just not it but over that its really good to watch also its about love and it show what love grows or what love is or love at first sight and what love is not and it show not to trust everyone you meet.and there were part that wasnt really necessary but its really good and I recommend over 14 year old.

Quite silly but interesting
Idk about the remake things i just watch it on netflix because im bored.But strangely i enjoyed it. The story is not the greatest and kinda silly tbh but its not bad. At least its still better than some other cringe netflix teen movie.Anyway the casts are good The female lead is too pretty and the male lead also good looking so its easy to watch for their visual alone.

Decent film, I enjoyed it
First of all Dont take after this serie of bad ratings I went to see this film having little to no expectations and I enjoyed it very much.This is a modern day Love and Betrayal film for teenagers but has an universal message.I assume that people rated this film badly either because they hold some sort of hate or grudge against some of the actors Not the case. You should check it out without comparing this film to the older Dangerous Liasons filmsThis film is a remake and a strong one who shines in its own right stop judging after the bad reviews and go see the movie.If you ever had a first love or even if you remained heartbroken by it it doesnt matter because this film has an universal message and that is about love.It didnt dissapoint me and I have seen many many films in my life both very old and new

Adaptation is basically a copy of the movie "Cruel Intentions (1999)"
This adaptation is looking a lot like Cruel Intentions except the two vicious people are not step siblings theyre dating. But they are still making a bet at an elite prep school to deflower the new headmasters daughter.

Is Netflix looking for bankruptcy once and for all?
After watching this adaptation based more in Cruel Intentions than in the actual novel Im entitled to write my own conspiracy theory about why Netflix keeps on releasing these outrageously bad flicks. Tall Girl For Jojo and Marmaduke were not enoughIf Netflix really wants to survive it should return to the pre pandemic efforts to offer quality but is doing the contrary with this adaptation. 0 in Rotten Tomatoes for Gods sake compare that with the 94 of the original Dangerous Liaisons. The acting Ella Pellegrini as Vanessa makes Cruel Intentionss Sarah Michelle Gellar look like Sarah Bernhardt. Overall its an agony to reach the end but if youre gonna criticize something you have to sacrifice yourself and why To tell you people who hasnt still watch this just skip it. It doesnt deserve a chance. Actually I think Netflix is looking for the way of getting rid of its 9 billion debt... by filing for bankruptcy.

Based on the same source material this adaptation brings nothing to the table. Neither actors nor the camerawork are remarkable and if someone felt that 1999 movie was too old and we need smartphones to make it look modern then this thing could have a right to exist. We have enough adaptations and this is not the one to pay your attention to.Want a modern one Cruel Intentions hits it pretty good. Want something more like the original story The one with Malkovich from 1988 is sublime. Somehow you want it to be French Youre covered the one from 1959 features Jeanne Moreau and Jean Louis Trintignant. All of the above share the same name be it in French or English and they share not only a story but a critical reception over time. With a competition like this this new show must be good but sadly its not even close to any of the movies above. Maybe we will see a nice TV show made out of the original story and we could definitely use one but this is absolutely not the one.
