2/10
A poorly made copy of the original 1992 film.
3 December 2020
Set in New York, the story of this film centers on Holly Parker, a young woman who works as a publicist and lives in an apartment with Jan Lambert, her co-worker and best friend. Holly decides to move soon after discovering that, in addition to the apartment, she was also sharing her boyfriend with Jan, who proves to be a cynical and unscrupulous woman, who uses all weapons to get what she wants. Holly goes to live with Tess, a lonely girl, very sweet and apparently trustworthy... but she hides a painful past and a dark side that will endanger her life.

So? Does the script summary look familiar? For those who have seen the first film it will surely look like a poorly made copy... and it is! Directed by Keith Samples, it is a film that, in addition to plagiarizing the original, made more than ten years ago, has no cinematic sense: sent directly from the studio to the DVD boxes, it was designed for small screens, for TV and home video. In addition, it was sold as a sequel when it works more like a remake, as it tells the same story as the original film, only with an additional dose of generous breasts and lacy lingerie, something that the first film had, but not in so much. That is, we are watching the same film, but worse and with less quality.

The cast is mostly composed of young actresses with generous boobs and probably eager to succeed in their careers. I don't mean to say that they did a bad job, but the fact is that none of them shone, and they seem to have been chosen for their bra size and not for their talent. Kristen Miller and Allison Lange bring the main roles to life and were minimally effective, albeit monotonous and unable to surprise. Of course, the film makes the most of their physical beauty and there are some very erotic scenes. In turn, the charismatic Brooke Burns left us an effective villain, worthy of our despise, but who also does not have the proper development and is a victim of the bad material received.

Technically uninteresting, it has a monotonous, televised cinematography, washed colors and a boring look, like a TV movie that didn't have a good budget. The sets and costumes fulfill their role, but without shine or merit. The soundtrack is virtually nonexistent or, at the very least, forgettable. The fast pace makes the film more digestible, but does not cover its problems.
