Plot
Summary: When a 'Single White Female' places
an ad in the press for a similar woman to rent a room
(to replace the boyfriend she's just left), all the
applicants seem weird. Then along comes a level headed
woman who seems to be just right. The new lodger has
a secret past which haunts her.
Comments:
Another
stranger-from-hell thriller that is near excellent
for the first hour or so, but in the third act it
turns so average and predictable, it's hardly worth
watching. Bridget Fonda is self-employed career woman
Ally, whose new roommate, Heddy (Jennifer Jason Leigh)
begins wearing the same clothes as Ally and even one
night, pretends to be Ally and performs a "sexual
act" on good girl's boyfriend (Steven Webber).
Strong performances and good direction can't help
saving the dull and once again predictable second
part. Also spoiling the good intentions of this film
are the erotic flagtones. Rated R for Violence, Sex
and Nudity
