Critical response

Critical reception for Single White Female 2 has been predominantly negative. David Nusair of Reel Film Reviews panned the movie heavily and described it as "bad, incompetently made and with virtually no redeeming qualities." DVD Talk was also heavily critical of all aspects of the film, especially its title, and commented "Single White Female 2: The Psycho? Is that the title? Did I miss something? In the original Single White Female, did Jennifer Jason Leigh not play a psycho? Or maybe there was a Single White Female 1.5 in which all the pretty roommates did nothing but drink tea and give each other perms." DVD Verdict also panned the film and advised any potential viewers to avoid the movie as it was "the original movie minus all of the good stuff".
