DVD Reviews of Single White Female 2 - The Psycho
DVD Review: I would never give this movie 2 thumbs up, however I do have another finger reserved for it!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have seen many, many abominable movies in my lifetime, but this is absolutely the very worst! This movie never should have been made, and it never should have included the title "Single White Female" because it has absolutely nothing to do with the first movie (which is the only reason why I watched it!) The actors were horrific, the script was totally substandard and the videography was beyond dismal. This movie should be burned. But, I wouldn't even waste my time setting it ablaze because this movie has already cost me nearly 2 hours which I will never get back! A word of caution: just because a movie is a remake of a very good movie does not mean that it is also in fact good! (I wish someone would have told me that before I watched this vomit-on-a-screen!) My only wish is that the real psycho who produced this atrocity is brought to justice! Perhaps he can produce the next Paris Hilton movie? I believe it was the legendary Siskel & Ebert who coined the phrase "2 thumbs up." Of course, I would never give this movie 2 thumbs up, however I do have 1 finger reserved for it! DVD Review: Not bad, for a sequel...
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie actually wasn't all that bad.
Very similar story to the original.
The females are a lot better looking than the ones in the first film, that's for sure.
I thought this movie might be pretty horrid, but in all actuality, it is a pretty good film.
If you liked the first movie, I think you should give this one a try. It's worth owning especially if you have the original movie.
Good story, good acting, definitly a thriller.
Could have been much worse.
DVD Review: Single White Female 2.........uuuhhhhhh
Summary: 1 Stars
Holly played by Kristen Miller (She Spies, Man of the Year) has a nice career as a journalist with her friend played by Brooke Burns (Baywatch, Death of the Supermodels). The 2 of them fight over the owner of a restaurant named Zucas (I think thats close enough) runned by actor Tod Babcock (Guard Dogs, Poor White Trash). When Holly gets pissed off at her friend because she slept with Mr. Babcock she tries to find a new place to live and low and behold she finds a new shy roommate Tess, played by Allison Lange (The Hillside Strangler, Roswell). Holly becomes close to Tess and they seem to hit it off real well, until Holly finds out some things about Tess that makes her think that maybe this wasnt such a good idea. Well, in 1992, Jennifer Jason Leigh did this to Bridget Fonda and now they make a sequel about it, wow, they must of went threw tons of scripts just to get to this one. Pretty much the young girls on screen are eye candy and the acting is pretty bad plus the twists and thrills arent that great. This can go down with Basic Instinct 2....in the trash can or the skeet shoot, one of the two. Also starring Francois Giroday (Carpool Guy, Framed), Tracey McCall (Not Another Teen Movie, Second Degree), Rif Hutton (Osmosis Jones, Halfway Decent) and Kyme (School Daze, Geppetto).
DVD Review: Of Course It Is Not a Sequel; It's a Remake, and Pretty Bad and Unnecessary One
Summary: 2 Stars
So Sony did it again. This time it is `Single White Female 2.' Now I want to ask you seriously. Do we really need another version of `Single White Female'? Before you answer the question, take a look at the writers' name of the film Ross Helford and Andy Hurst, both responsible for `Wild Things 2' and `Wild Things: Diamonds in the Rough.'
`SWF2' is just another direct-to-video film with almost no redeeming points except as a reminder of the original `SWF' which was not a great film, but still far better a thriller than this one. Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh (especially the latter) were very good, and Barbet Schroeder almost made us forget the impossible story with his camera. No such things can be found in `Single White Female 2' in which all you can see is the similar story told in a slower and clumsier fashion.
Once again we are to meet a single white female (working for PR film in NYC) Holly (Kristen Miller) who starts to live with another single white female Tess (Alison Lange). It takes some time for the new roommate to find that she is living with a very unusual girl, who hates other people's lies but can wear someone's else dress without asking and go the seedy club named `SIN' (really). Who should she do? Live with her? Leave her? Apparently Holly doesn't know the right answer, doing stupid things one after another.
But before the film gets down to business as thriller, it has to show us so many thrill-free elements that only slow the pace: Holly's job and promotion, her unfaithful (and repentant) boyfriend; her back-biting co-worker who says `Sexual manipulation is my specialty"; and so on and on. As thriller the film fails to deliver, with the predictable path it follows, not-so-effective acting from the leads, and the poorly shot scenes that do not know how to convey the thrills even as cheap ones like gore. The film makes feeble attempt to engage our attention (here I'm talking about male audiences) with some images of the ladies in underwear in vain.
The original `SWF' was not without derivative script, but had several good moments like creepy character by Jennifer Jason Leigh and that high-heel. Though it is not terrible, everything is still bland and superficial in `SWF2.'
DVD Review: STAY AWAY FROM THE CLASSIFIEDS
Summary: 3 Stars
It's really not as bad as some of the other reviewers have indicated. Certainly it is derivative, and the acting is far from superior, but for a psycho roommate movie, it's passable. I must admit though that Kristen Miller's Holly is one of the stupidest people on screen, trying so hard to be everybody's friend and not smacking snidy Jan in the mouth a little more often, but hey she's the heroine. Allison Lange is the psycho, and doing her best Kirsten Dunst imitation, she is quite chilling. Brooke Barnes is perfect as the bitchy Jan, and Todd Babcock is efficient as the wayward David.
The movie's climax is admittedly under dramatic, and the ending a little ambiguous, but I have definitely seen worse.
Description of Single White Female 2 - The Psycho
When Holly Parker (Kristen Miller) moves into her new apartment, she thinks she has found the perfect roommate: Tess Kositch (Allison Lange), a sweet and shy young woman who desperately wants to be her friend. But underneath Tess' shy exterior lies a killer, a woman who believes there is nothing sweeter in life than murdering a friend in pain. And Holly is feeling a lot of pain lately, what with her boyfriend cheating on her and her co-worker undermining any chance she has for promotion. But Holly need not worry. Tess will take care of her. For Holly is her friend. And for a killer like Tess, there is no greater reward than putting her friends out of their misery.General DVDs
