This one is a confused, muddled mess that never decides if it wants to be a slightly dirty version of Mean Girls or a late night cable flick. The Poison Ivy series was never stellar film making, but at least the films knew their audience. The movie is rather dull, the story doesn't really kick in till the final five minutes, the direction is flat, and most of the actors seem like they are about to break out laughing during the scenes. Portrayed by Katee Sackhoff, Ivy was introduced in Part 1s post-credits scene as an associate of the Falcone who puts Bruce under her thrall after he refuses to do business with the Falcone family. It seems like soft core porn for middle school girls who enjoy staring at fake breasts. Maybe if the plot had been sexed up a little, with more emphasis on the sexual politics and seduction I could understand it being a late night movie, but in the end the movie is a mess. If that had been the case, and the nudity and rather boring sex scenes had been excised I could understand a market for this type of film. The plot to this film seems like it was originally intended for teenage girls. This movie had some potential in the script, and the actors had moments where they shined through, but for the most part this movie was a muddled mess.
