J.F. partagerait appartement 2

Holly Parker (Kristen Miller) and Jan Lambert (Brooke Burns) are roommates battling over job and boyfriend. Holly moves out to a new place and takes on Tess Kositch (Allison Lange) as her new roommate.

There is nothing surprising going on in this script. Like the original, a woman is being harassed by her roommate. Whereas the original hits on some new paranoia, this is simply a repeat without much effort. The two actresses are both relative unknown and it shows here. They don't have much screen presence. I don't find either that compelling. The budget and style is limited. The only worthwhile performance is Brooke Burns who plays a pretty good bitch. Overall, this is a functional watch but forgettable. It adds nothing new to its predecessor.

In New York City, two PR colleagues (Kristen Miller & Brooke Burns) compete for a promotion in their agency when one of them (Miller) decides to move out of the apartment they share and respond to an ad for a roommate from a woman that's not in their social class (Allison Lange). At least one of these women is a... psycho. Todd Babcock plays the beau.

"Single White Female 2: The Psycho" (2005) is a stand-alone sequel to the 1992 film and is far from a carbon copy. Being direct-to-video, it has a no-name cast and lacks the sense of artistry of the original, but Kristen Miller makes for a quality protagonist while Burns is perfect in the biyatch role and Lange is effective as the misfit.

It helps that the plot mixes up the formula and the setting isn't as one-dimensional as in the original where practically the entire story took place in an aged Gothic apartment building. It also has more pizazz and isn't as tediously monotone. Unfortunately, it's not as memorable. It's effective enough for the genre & direct-to-video, but also kind of forgettable. More coulda and shoulda been done with the resource of Kristen Miller.

The film runs 1 hour, 30 minutes and was shot in Los Angeles, California.

GRADE: C+

When I saw the original SWF, way back when, I was upset when it was over because I wanted more. This is it.

Single White Female 2: The Psycho cleverly apply's new twists on an old formula. It strays just enough from the original to make itself its own, while borrowing the proper elements from the first film to remind you of the first film.

I love these direct-to-DVD sequels, smaller budget, unknown actors and actresses, bottom line no ego. Everybody just trying to make the best flick they can.

I also really liked Wild Things 2 and 3.

And Ladies, These films are guilty pleasures made for men. It's like soft core with less core and more story. The sooner you understand that the sooner you can pass over them in the store, and stop whining about how misogynistic and degrading these films are. Or if your not a crazy SWF yourself you can pick it up at the video store and watch it with your man.

Bottomline, if you like the first one, see this.

i don't know what to think of this movie.i mean,it's definitely trashy,and more soft core porn than thriller.there's some pretty bad hairdo's in this one.and there the pretty people,and i mean that in a sarcastic way.the two friends/co workers were supposed to be hot,i guess,but they really just seemed plastic.the only woman in the movie i found attractive was Alison Lange because she wasn't all prettied up.she has natural beauty to her.anyway,that's beside the point.back to the movie.there aren't really any sympathetic characters.they all get what they deserve,especially for being as stupid as they all are.having said that,i actually thought this was a fun movie,watching the bad acting,and the main characters continually trying to screw each other over.if you ask me,they're all nuts.and then there's Todd Babcock doing his best Julian McMahon impersonation.all in all it was trash,but it was amusing trash,i'll give it that.my vote for single White female 2:The Psycho is a 5/10

what was this?why was this made? and more importantly, why did I waste my precious 2hours and £1.50 on this? the movie is about 2 girls sharing a flat, having a fight (over a man+job) one moving out and right into the "Psycho" girl's life. the psycho girl falls in love, gets obsessed with her new roomie/best friend and tries to eliminate everyone, including the love of her life. yaaawn.

this movie has NOTHING. the "thrilling" scenes don't thrill; the sexy scenes don't make you hot and you're not scared by anything. the acting is lame, to put it very mildly. the plot thin and direction weak.

do not even go anywhere NEAR SWF2. I liked SWF because I did encounter a person like that in life, and thought the sequel won't be THAT bad. but it was. and worse.
