Poison Ivy 3: Violet

Poison Ivy: The New Seduction

Poison Ivy: The New Seduction

Good God, this movie was pointless, more so than most soft * flicks. The whole Poison Ivy series is ridiculous and just like this installment, as I said, pointless. I have no idea why when they go to make a soft * with a * like Pressly in it, they even bother with a storyline. The only reason people are going to watch this horrible mess is to see Pressly's breasts and every other part of her she decides to show. This girl has no talent and her voice is a mix between a man's voice and kermit the frog, annoying to the point that I personally want to punch her in the head till she sleeps for a few years, than maybe we won't have to see her in anymore movies, shows, etc. Whoever wrote this movie was clearly high at the time, and he, like Jaime clearly has nowhere to go but down in the business. Well...if you want to waste your time watching Pressly take off her clothes, which is the only thing she is good for, maybe you'll like this movie, but personally I would rather watch paint dry.

Okay, so it's not the most cinematically perfect film ever made but I think people can lose the point of watching movies these days. I like thought-provoking, or striking films as much as the next guy but there are some times you just want entertainment and the Poison Ivy films do that. I liked the first, didn't really go for the second but am happy with The New Seduction. Jaime Pressly looks fabulous and the plot is a bit contrived but heck, there have been a lot of far more stupid ideas that have cost ten times as much and featured A-list stars. It's good, honest, down to earth entertainment, but probably not a good date movie. You'll learn to love it.

Why oh why did our late movie channel decide to show this piece of trash after the closing ceremonies in Torino? This is soft core schlock - with all the attributes associated with this type of trash. It's simply an excuse for husky Pressly to show off her nipples and moan a lot on screen - roughly the entire gamut of her acting chops. If that isn't bad enough, count on a soundtrack meant to function as a kind of virtual lobotomy - you know, the typical sleaze movie muzak. As if 'who cares' - because nothing counts but the amount of skin and 'supposedly' sexy scenes. The screenplay and the acting through and through will drive you up the wall too. Is Pressly sexy to look at? Maybe - if Sylvester Stallone biceps on a girl curl your toes and if really dumb dialog like Sly's trademarked for is what you regard as 'Shakespeare'. 'Stupid' isn't strong enough a word for this turkey. Which just about proves the old theory - namely that anyone who goes to Playboy Mansion West does so as a last resort. There are those who are truly elegant and beautiful - they go to Eileen Ford; there are those who have real talent - they go to Actors Studio and then to Broadway and Hollywood; and then there are those who are neither of the above, and they go to Hef. Staring at a stilleben of a raw steak is more stimulating in all possible ways - and will leave you feeling better afterwards to boot.

Incredible. One has to see this to believe it. It's amazing a thing of such low quality has made it past the editing room. What's even more incredible is the presence of a major star and sex goddess of nowadays, Jamie Pressly ("Jack & Jill" et al.) The redeeming factor: it was her first flick ever. Fortunately someone saw in her the potential this film does no justice to.

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT* The most important thing to know about "Poison Ivy: The New Seduction" is that Jaime Pressly does get naked. I bought the unrated version of this movie with that hope in mind. My prayers were answered. Jaime Pressly is a nuclear sex bomb. That voice. That body. That face. Seeing her leap out of a pool naked in slow motion... Sorry, my mind wandered. I'm back now. Suffice to say, she is raging hot in this movie. No man could resist her nakedness. I can't say I blame them. So Jaime moves into her friend's house and wants to take over. Seduction, nakedness, sex and scheming go on. Jaime won't rest until she gets her way and moves in permanently. It was an OK sex thriller. If you like Jaime Pressly, you should definitely check it out. One last thing, I also want to praise her friend Joy, (Megan Edwards). The good girls don't get enough attention. She was hot in her own spunky, straight A student kind of way.

I didn't even realize they made a 3rd Poison Ivy movie, little did I realize that at time of writing there are 4. My question is why? Following in the footsteps of Drew Barrymore and Alyssa Milano we see Jaime Pressly leading this erotic thriller about a manipulative seductress hell bent on tearing a family apart. There is actually a loose connection to the original movie here but it may as well not exist, this straight to DVD mess is the definition of cash grab and demonstrates that some movies just don't need to become franchises. Pressly delivers just fine amidst the very lackluster cast that includes the awful Greg "Charmed" Vaughan, the trouble is this is Lifetime movie stuff and really just made for television. The plot is recycled, the execution is generic, it's like nobody was really trying, as if this movie was just an excuse to get Pressly *. If you like the original then watch it again and forget about the "Sequels", this is even worse than number 2. The Good: Pressly is passable here The Bad: Really poor finale Very uninspired stuff

God awful movie? You think? No, Godzilla was a god awful movie because it TRIED to be good. Poison Ivy 3 was not trying to be good in the sense of acting, or a plot, or anything other than what it should be. A vehicle for Jaime Pressly's backside, frontside, and side-side. Wonderful. I love it. There should be a Poison Ivy 3 channel that shows it all the time, over and over and over again. Look, if you're disappointed in this movie, fine. You were watching it for all the wrong reasons. PLEASE let there be a Poison Ivy 4 for the simple fact that I can't wait to see who they would pick to star in it. Hmm.. .now, who's up and coming, is very attractive, but has zero acting talent? (NO OFFENSE MISS BARRYMORE, you DO have talent and you were the first poison ivy!) Well, this formula of good looks, up and coming and no talent points only one direction. Jennifer Love Hewitt. Aaaaaaand, ACTION! If anyone's interested, let me know and I'll write the script.. should take about a day. Thanks.

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 * 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
