One of my personal favorites... I've always liked Sarah Michelle Gellar, and when I saw this movie, I thought she did a great job. Before this, she had only played one evil character, and that was on a soap opera. Sarah brings a whole new depth to her acting when she plays a manipulative socialite. Ryan Phillippe also turns in a stellar performance as her step-brother, equally shameless until the end. Reese Witherspoon, his wife, does a great job of playing an innocent, young, naive girl, but it unfortunatly mirrors a lot of her other movie roles, so seeing her play this character was nothing new. However, the movie is definitly worth watching.
