"A Disapointment"
With Drew's first Poison Ivy,I loved it!!! Then I saw the 2nd one and watched it.Well to tell you the truth,it was not what I expected,it was dull and predictable...Alyssa Milano was ok,it really did'nt have much of a storyline/plot,except the same B movie that a young attractive girl moves her way into a family that she wants,similar to Poison Ivy.But not vey good,I actually fell asleep in the middle of this film,shows it dosent catch my attention...If you are looking for a movie with a lot of sex,and Alyssa taking her clothes off then this is the movie for you.But if you want a movie that will catch your attention,dont rent this one.Its just plain sex B-movie,I think they thought after making Poison Ivy with Drew Barrymore,and it was a good movie(my opinion),they thought why not make another,probably thinking it would go off good like the first,well it didnt. As they say sequel's are not as good as the 1st,on this movie,I agree...All it was, was Alyssa taking her clothes off,seducing,and just plain dumb...Anyone can take their clothes off,but you had better have a plot to be considered a good movie...I say,stick with Drew Barrymore's performance in the first Poison Ivy,at least it was exciting and never dull or dumb...And that movie did have a plot,if you really watch,Drew's character,wanted what she never had,a family,and she snuck into the family,and began to start little problems,she wanted to be in the family,the only way was to get rid of the wife who was dying of emphysema,(Cheryl Ladd),and then her trusted new friend,(Sara Gilbert),and then after they were gone,start her seductive moves on the father,(Tom Skerrit),and then she would be in...But that took a different turn,at least it had a good plot and good star's that could really act,so if you want to watch Poison Ivy,I would not recommend Poison Ivy 2,it was not THAT good,hope this helped...

Not what it should be
If you've seen the original Poison Ivy, then you kindof know what you should expect to see when watching the 2nd. And if you liked the original, you will be severely disappointed by this sequel.
After having watched the original Poison Ivy, I looked forward to this one. Unfortunately, this is one of those sequels that had a lot going for it until the creators ruin it.
What the movie is *supposed* to be about is a "good girl" (Milano) just starting college in a new place and doesn't know anyone, so she tries to fit in by making changes to herself and her personality. She finds old diaries of the original "Ivy" and learns Ivy's art of seduction from them and slowly, but surely becomes her own version of what Ivy was.
Ok, that sounds to me like the premise for a great sequel...but the creators of the movie ruined it by:
1. Not enough emphasis on our "new Ivy"'s mental change and growing obsession with her new ways.
2. Because of what I mentioned above in #1, our new Ivy (Milano) isn't very creepy at all. The change from her good girl image to that of Ivy is shallow, at best. There is no obsession, no reminder of the drive behind her character.
3. Because of #2, our new Ivy is not in control of the story. Her pervert teacher is. In fact, she is even treated as a victim in the end. What?! Where's the seduction? Where's the loss of control?
4. Given what the movie is supposed to be about, the ending definitely leaves a lot to be desired. So she realizes the "error of her ways" (and since there was never really any emphasis on exactly what her "error" was, that statement is a misnomer) and hooks up with her boyfriend. Big deal. No thrills, no suspense.
It would've been better if they had not made this movie in the first place, but since they gave it a shot...2 stars.

an erotic thriller, but not erotic! ......or thrilling
Okay, so I didn't understand this movie at all. It's suppose to be about a young woman named Lily, who moves to a big college but just doesn't fit in (although, she has female friends and a bunch of guys are clamoring to date her, so I'm not exactly sure how they define "fit in" in this movie). Then, she finds Ivy's old diary ("Ivy" as in "Poison Ivy", the evil seductress chick from the first movie) and starts reading it, and becomes seduced by it's promises of lust and power or whatever.

The thing that's ridiculous about this movie is, all the guys in it are already trying to seduce her long before she starts dressing slutty and declares herself a seductress. I'm serious. Her first "prey", a fellow college student who's a sculptor, tries to seduce her while she's still innocent but after they kiss, she runs away. Then she reads the diary, cuts her hair, puts on some slutty clothes, goes back and finds him and "seduces" him. Honestly, I don't think he even noticed any difference.

Then there's her art teacher. Now, the first Poison Ivy movie was about Drew Berrymore moving in with her friend and then seducing that friend's father and tearing the family apart, as evidenced by the picture on the front of the box of a family photograph being ripped in half. So on the box for Poison Ivy 2, they try to imply the same thing by showing a photograph of the art teacher along with his wife and daughter, and the photograph is being ripped in half. What's funny is, the very first scene in the movie is of the art teacher having sex with another one of his art students but then deciding she's no fun any more and he needs to find a new student to seduce. The art teacher's daughter, who's like five, only comes into play when he hires Lily to baby-sit, in a move to seduce her.

As for the sex scenes in this movie.... when you watch the unrated version of Poison Ivy: The New Seduction, the point seems to be to show Jamie Presley naked as much as humanly possible. When you watch the unrated version of THIS movie, the point seems to be to make the sex scenes as untitilating to watch as possible. After having seen Embrace of the Vampire, I expected Alyassa Milano to be dropping her towel and accidentally ripping open the front of her blouse as much as possible, but in actuality, in the very few scenes we DO see of her topless, she has her hands in the way of her bosoms almost the entire time. Now, I hope I don't come off as a pervert or anything, but honestly, if the movie's an "erotic thriller", then isn't it suppose to be erotic? Their are however several other scenes where we get to see random women who don't even have speaking parts in the film topless, like when Lily reads Ivy's diary and pictures Ivy, or when we see her art teacher's classroom (of course he teaches human form so there's always a different naked woman posing in his classroom), but these scenes are always so brief and random, it seems as if the only purpose they serve is to scare away people who DON'T like erotic movies.

So in closing, I can't really recommend this movie to anyone.... the plot wasn't good enough for people who want a movie with plot, it wasn't sexy enough for people who like to watch movies with sex in them.... heck, it didn't even have fun cheesy laughable dialog for people who like to laugh at cheesy movies. Of course, if you're like me and your video store rents old movies for fifty cents and you REALLY feel like renting it.... I guess it beats a hot skewer in the eye.
