What WAS with that late 90s stepsibling love story thing? For a brief moment people kept making these movies like it wasn't weird. The Royal Tenenbaums is, as a 2001 entry into this really weird genre, both a later entry into this and probably the most normal take on the subject matter. On the flip side, the 1999 stepsibling erotica film Cruel Intentions leans into making it edgy. It isn't good.
Normally here is where I'd go into some sort of analysis of how the messaging behind "if you're not genetically related you're not *really* siblings" as an explanation for allowing this gray area canoodling is harmful, or at least counterproductive, to the notion that adoptive/blended family is still family. Except Cruel Intentions sucks so bad it doesn't matter. Don't see this movie. Other films have explored more repugnant concepts more thoroughly, and the social contract of the artist allows them to. This one is just bad.
The actual plot of the film revolves around two stepsiblings who make a bet between socially manipulating each other and their peers in the Manhattan upper crust youth scene. The brother (played by Ryan Philippe) must deflower the chaste daughter (Reese Witherspoon) of their prep school headmaster by the start of the school year or he must hand over the keys to the vintage Jag roadster. If he wins? His stepsister (Sarah Michelle Gellar) promises to boink him. I'll admit this isn't my normal beat, but even so Clueless definitely wins out for "less-contrived stepsibling relations."
The cast, the soundtrack, and the cars are all solid examples of late 90s cinema. And you can tell all three are trying, but even in concert none of them can save this movie. I need to stress how awful a film this is.
Everyone talks and acts like they're doing American Psycho's take on upper class vapidity and scheming, but with some of the most wooden, unconvincing performances I've seen in my life. It's not like the cast can't deliver either, I just think the script and direction were that bad. As this was the director's first film, I think this may be the case but considering that scattered episodes of Pretty Little Liars are the more notable entries into his filmography, I'll hazard a guess that the Written and Directed credits for Cruel Intentions are a large part of the problem.
In watching this film I simply did not get why it has such a cult following. There are many better bad 90s attempts at being edgy, why pick this one?

Karaoke ⎥ Chicago Blackhawks
As per usual, I went with the players that I know. I have no idea what their music preferences are, this is purely based off vibes. This what I think the Chicago Blackhawk's go-to karaoke songs are.
masterlist
Connor Bedard - he knows every word to 'We Didn't Start the Fire' by Billy Joel for some reason that he never tells anybody. He is dared to sing it one day because it's an older song, so he does it perfectly and surprises every person in the room
Colin Blackwell - 'Love Story' by Taylor Swift. 100%
Jason Dickinson - a stunning rendition of 'Vienna' by Billy Joel
Ryan Donato - keeps it classic with 'Don't Stop Believin'' by Journey. It's very mid, but not bad
MacKenzie Entwistle - a horribly off-key version of 'Livin' on a Prayer' by Bon Jovi
Nick Foligno - claims he is too old for karaoke but sticks with the classics too and goes with either 'Hotel California' by Eagles or 'Under Pressure' by Queen
Taylor Hall - there's about a 55% chance he sings something Nickleback and the other 45% is 'Love Like This' by BlackHawk for some sentimental reason
Seth Jones - something Katy Perry, I feel like. No reason, just a feeling. More than likely it's 'Firework'
Kevin Korchinski - either something by Zach Bryan or a 'The Last Saskatchewan Pirate' by Captain Tractor duet with Reese Johnson (please tell me somebody will get it)
Philipp Kurashev - adorably accented version of 'Call Me Maybe' by Carly Rae Jepsen. Everybody loves it
Petr Mrazek - first an enthusiastic attempt at 'Dream On' by Aerosmith, then plays it safe with 'Sweet Caroline' by Neil Diamond, met with applause and sing-along
Connor Murphy - also claims he's too old for karaoke, then proceeds to whip the most excellent cover of 'It's My Life' by Bon Jovi out of his back pocket and absolutely floors everybody
Alex Vlasic - 'Shut Up and Dance' by Walk the Moon or 'Stacy's Mom' by Fountains of Wayne. Or some other 2000's hit
