Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

It's another in the line of cheap, tawdry, lousy Poison Ivy movies. For a while it seems this one might rise somewhat above the rather awful first two movies in the series. It's not good by any means but it's not completely hideous. But then it really crumbles in the end. The last thirty minutes of the movie are excruciatingly bad with absurd plot twists, terrible acting and stupid characters doing incredibly stupid things. In the end this movie which had the promise of being at least passable ends up being just about as bad as its predecessors.The movie makes a tenuous connection to the first Poison Ivy film, setting up the main character here, Violet, as being the sister of the first film's Ivy. And then it proceeds to pretty much do that first film all over again. Same setup, same story. A family invites a trashy young girl they barely know into their home, said girl uses sex to destroy that family. One difference between the two films is that in the original Drew Barrymore kept her clothes on. Here Jaime Pressly is on full naked display throughout. This is definitely not a bad thing. To say Pressly looks stunning does not even begin to do her justice. Absolutely amazing. Unfortunately it takes more than a hot naked girl to make a good movie. The story has enough erotic entanglements to hold your interest to a point. Yes, the dialogue throughout is pretty terrible. Kudos to Pressly for managing to keep a straight face while talking about the ups in the stock market. Hint: she's not really talking about the stock market. But for as bad as the dialogue is and as bad as some of the performances from the supporting cast are Pressly manages to hold the movie together and hold your interest. She makes Violet into a compelling character and whenever the movie starts to drag she takes her clothes off again which is nice. But Pressly can't salvage the ending and it is that ludicrously bad ending which sinks the movie. A movie maybe worth seeing once to see Pressly in all her naked glory. Maybe you'll get lucky and the power will go out and you won't be able to see the last thirty minutes.

Jamie Pressly is the reason to see "Poison Ivy the New Seduction", and not for her acting as a revenge seeking vixen either. Easily manipulating those around her to her advantage seems to come quite naturally. Soon everyone's life is coming unraveled, either through seduction or murder. This makes hating Jamie very easy indeed, and at that the movie succeeds quite well. Pressly also has numerous nude scenes, which obviously isn't a bad thing. Of course the plot is contrived, unrealistic, and unbelievable, but who cares? Jamie Pressly's over the top acting is totally acceptable, and is somewhat similar to her bitchy performance in "Poor White Trash". - MERK

Wow! Violet's mom (Athena Massey) and the pool boy don't waste any time in getting down to business, and we aren't 10 minutes into the movie when a grown up Violet (Jaime Pressly) is showing us everything she has in the bathtub. This is a good start.Soon she is servicing Joy's (Megan Edwards) fiancée Michael (Greg Vaughan), and getting daddy (Michael Des Barres) all excited swimming topless.It is so fun to see what Violet's devious mind will come up with next.I enjoyed seeing Susan Tyrrell (Buddy Boy) again.This is definitely Jaime Pressly's most skintastic performance and one you will never see again now that she has hit the big time.

surprisingly,very surprisingly,i didn't mind this movie at all.it was certainly head and shoulders above number two,and quite a bit better than the first one.this one had a somewhat developed storyline,with pretty decent acting.the villainous is stronger and much more developed in this one.she is certainly more sinister,if that's the right word.but i also noticed some humour in this one,which the first two didn't have,in my recollection.there is of course,no lack of nudity in this one,but i think it served a bit more of a purpose.it still at times seemed like a soft core porn flick,but at least it had other dimensions to it.and as an added bonus,(especially if you're a guy)it had Jamie Pressly in a prominent role.anyway,for an entertaining 90 minutes,i think you could do a lot worse than the third installment in the Poison Ivy series.my vote for Poison Ivy:The New Seduction:7/10
