Wild Things 4

(2009) Wild Things: Foursome THRILLER/ DRAMA

You know a movie is bad when it starts off with a bunch of teens getting excited over a couple of yuppies playing foosball on a sunny resort near a pool! And like the other "Wild Things" films known for it's twists, it's still quite bad with it's mediocre acting from a bunch of wannabes and a fake making out scene involving a single guy and three other girls, hence the title! Centers on a father who was killed in a racing accident and the spoiled brat of a teenage son finding a way to collect it's inheritance. Even after showing the film's credits making everything to make sense, one still has to go through all the bad acting and idiocy that makes things that turn out the way they do possible.

Greed, lust, envy, anger, pride, gluttony, sloth, anger Sex...more sex and more sex.

Short of being porn, this is just enough to make the movie solid without making it porn.

Along the lines of the other Wildthings and very similar to the first movie, this tells the story of pure lucid greed and how they go to get more.

Entertaining, but not memorable.

However, you may learn a thing or two from watching this...

Beautiful women in Florida are everywhere and always after one thing...

Don't trust a lawyer.

With the last entry in the beloved Wild Things franchise, this fourth film sees this seemingly similar to the previous. At this point, had you watched the previous three films or only even the original, you would know the first major twist of the film (they all essentially follow the same basic formula) where by this point nothing is surprising. We are simply just waiting for it to occur.

Wild Things: Foursome, as suggested but its title would include another woman in its recurring and predictable famous "scene". This time, the director does include more skin in the scene and for a longer running time than at least the previous two instalments. Around 32:00 - 35:00 were it occurs.

This film of course isn't as good as the original but it is an improvement over the third film. The lead actor is solid enough and the leading women show stronger acting and have more character development and overall interest than the leading women in the third film.

The end final twists get a little messy and convoluted and by that point we don't exactly care but it was slightly enjoyable watching the post credit scenes with the flashbacks.

Let's face it. The "Wild Things" films are never going to be confused with serious, art house cinema. They are lots of fun to watch though and if you are in a mood for escapist fare, they fit the bill just fine. The latest entry "Wild Things: Foursome" follows the formula of drop dead gorgeous women, eroticism, double crossing, slick production, and moody music. I rather liked this entry. The performances are pretty good, especially by veteran actor John Schneider, and I got a kick out of the multiple twists in the plot. The Florida location is also put to good use. It's not surprising that all of the "Wild Things" movies have been shot there. It will be interesting to see if they come up with a fifth film. Recommended.

The detective in this is one of the better things in this, but also one of it's weak links. Then again, I don't think anyone will watch this, trying to figure out, which one is the better actor in here. Still pretty decent acting going on overall (that does not include everyone in the cast), even though the cast does not wear that much during the movies duration.

Of course, I'd advice you to watch the first one. This is already the 3-rd cash-in, though as I've said, it seems as bit of an improvement to the other two "sequels" (they are not, just re-telling the story of the first one). I wonder if a fifth part, will top the "erotic" scene with a fifth member. Then again, it was pretty obvious that one actress had a "no nudity" clause in her contract. But I don't think that will put you off.

While pretty silly (no pun intended), it might be funny at times for you, depending what you expect.
