This movie was aggressive, stressful, violent, depressing, inappropriate, and a total waste of $11 and 2 hours of my time.
The "Wild Things" characters all seemed like they were on drugs (especially "KW" who was obviously stoned/playing a stoner). The main character, Max, was an angry and aggressive child in need of ADHD meds, therapy, and a spanking. Only toward the end of the film did he become remotely cute.
The movie's redeeming qualities: lots of gorgeous ocean scenes and 30 seconds of Mark Ruffalo.
