Single Black Female

It's look people sit around in hollywood thinking... "are there any movies left with a caucasian cast that we can replace with black folks?" I mean... we cannot get anything original out of hollywood. And when you are just virtue signaling, it shows in the end result. The cast phones in their lines. The movie is predictable, because - WE'VE ALREADY SEEN IT! There is nothing about this that deserves a "retelling" or (on of hollywoods favorite code words) a "reimagining." The original - "Single White Female" for all of you born post 2000 - was classic and you cannot improve upon perfection.

For a lifetime movie, this one is above average. I liked the characters and the story, though nothing I haven't seen before, held my attention. As a woman of size myself, I also enjoyed seeing different body types playing the leads and wouldn't mind seeing more of that in future movies.

Although I was happy to see Janet Hubert - the actress who was the original Aunt Viv on The Fresh Prince of Belair...that was about it. I was looking forward to a fresh take on the stalker friend plot, but there was nothing new to see. I stayed to the finish, and found myself laughing out loud. So if you want to see unintentional comedy...go for it!

7 is maybe a bit too generous, am rounding up from 6.5. But I really enjoyed this, it was exactly what I expected in a good way. I love the movie 'single white female' so am already a fan of this kind of storyline.

All of the actors were excellent in their roles. It was freaky in parts and humorous in others. A fine TV movie for an evening to have a glass of wine while watching. I liked the storyline, it kept me gripped and I liked how outlandish psycho the baddie was, which was humorous and is not out of place in a storyline like this one. Sadly there are a lot of psychos out there and there are also a lot of families affected by these issues. Decent made for TV movie did not disappoint!

I really wanted this to be a good movie. I watched the previews with anticipation of enjoying it. But...almost from the beginning I started rolling my eyes and shaking my head at the scenes and the dialog. The script was very bland. And while it is a remake of Single White Female from a black woman perspective, other than 2 female leads there really isn't anything similar in story or in plot from the original. One of the best parts of this movie was their hair and makeup (Tyler Perry needs to take notes). I'm not normally attracted to BBW but these women looked really good. Props to the hair, makeup and wardrobe departments. The direction was almost non existent. It was as if the director was told to get each scene done in one take. There were scenes that clearly should have been reshot to make it more realistic and believable but they decided it was good enough for LMN. I think the actors started off trying to deliver a good performance but by the end you could clearly tell they were just phoning it in. I've seen these women in other movies and tv shows and they can act if given a good script and good direction. Unfortunately they got neither and it showed.
