Things just aren't going well for Holly Parker (Kristen Miller). In addition to her cheating boyfriend, a scheming co-worker keeps undermining every shot Holly has at a promotion, and on top of it all, her rent is simply too much to handle alone. When her search for a roommate leads Holly to shy but sweet Tess Kostitch (Allison Lange), the troubled renter thinks she may have finally solved at least one of her woes -- but this roommate has a big secret. It doesn't take long for Holly and Tess to become friends, but in Tess' warped view of friendship, there is no kinder act than putting a friend in pain out of their misery. When Tess learns about Holly's unfaithful boyfriend and the trouble that Holly has run into attempting to land a big promotion, Tess prepares to do her new best friend a favor and make all of her troubles go away in the flash of a blade. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

...a bad, incompetently made film with virtually no redeeming qualities...
Scott Weinberg, DVDTalk.com
Did I miss something? In the original Single White Female, did Jennifer Jason Leigh NOT play a psycho?

Independent sequel? How about poor re-imagining?

This "sequel" takes place in the big busy city where two roommates/business partners eventually clash, forcing one to move out and (if you didn't see this coming like a freight train) into the apartment of a lonely quiet girl who turns out to be an obsessive nut case. This movie is pretty much the same as the original, save for some different plot twists and turns here and there that lead up to what might be the most boring climax in movie history, taking place in an apartment building hallway. What fun. I agree with what one person said about the "psycho's" wig in the first part of the movie being terrible, but what was worse was the wretched black bob wig worn by the main character's ex-roommate in an attempt to make her look sexy and exotic.

"Yeah, it's been 13 years since the original Single White Female so nobody except the fans will remember the plot progression and key story points, we can just insert them into this movie! But how are we gonna get people to watch this?? Wait, I know - we'll buy the naming rights and call it a sequel! That way we'll get the fans of the first move to watch it and.... Oh." As shameless a screenplay clone as any film since Cannonball Run II with worse acting & direction. I watched this not because I'm a fan of the original (which I am) but solely because the perennially plucky Kristen Miller plays the Bridget Fonda part. She does what she can and looks amazing while fighting off both psycho roommates and choppy editing. For that it's worth a slender tick above her other regrettable 2005 film entry The Fallen Ones.
