    Sexy entertainment. Jaime worths the watch. Believe me.

    Thank you Cinemax for airing these kind of movies at midnight. "Poison Ivy 3" is a steamy sequel that no one can dislike. It offers you the best about the B-movie industry: great sex scenes, an easy plot that many people would like to experience, and the best of all, beautiful (I mean, BEAUTIFUL!) women.

    The plot is similar to "Friend of the Family II" and "The Hand That Rocks the Craddle". This time the sexy nanny is the hot Jaime Pressly. The innocent victim is the also hot Megan Edwards.

    I always try to be objective in my movie reviews but this time I can't. This movie shouldn't be commented for it's plot, score, direction, etc. No. This movie is all about Jaime. People can't ignore the fact that she has a DELICIOUS body to die for. I can't even describe how hot she is. Her face is very sexy but menacing at the same time (which helps a lot for her character). Her performance is great mainly because male viewers fantasize about her. Her sex scenes are great! Could've used more explicitly (even the uncut version) but still deliver.

    Also, Megan Edwards is extremely sexy! Her beautiful and innocent face makes her more desirable because she has a spectacular hot body. Those legs, those eyes, that hips. MMMMH. I loved every scene where she walked in her mansion wearing that sexy mini skirt. Thank you Megan!

    What else can I say?! Poison Ivy 3 is entertaining and steamy. One of those movies that you can't say that you love because it wouldn't be moral correctly. I don't care. I love the movie for it's hot women and sex scenes. Deserves a watch.

    your name doesn't have to be Earl to see Jaime topless

    Well I watched and reviewed the first two films in this series, so I figured what the hell, I'll just finish the trilogy up. Jaime Pressly stars as Violent, a teenage vixen who feeling betrayed that her mother (who was also this family's maid) was fired for having an affair with the father , a decade or so later decides to move in with the family who 'wronged' her mom and proceeds to use her best asset, her body, to get revenge. Is this film good in a conventional sense? Nope. Artistically? Haha not at all. In fact the only true reason to see this is Jaime Pressley herself, who ups the T7A quotient exponentially.

    Eye Candy: Athena Massey gets topless once; Jaime Pressly shows hers multiple times and her ass once.

    My Grade: C

    Hot, Sticky, And Deadly...

    POISON IVY: THE NEW SEDUCTION is the third film in the lascivious "series". While it isn't anything Earthshaking, it's not bad at all. It's certainly an improvement over the dullness of the second movie.

    Violet (Jaime Pressly) is a psychopath who gleefully goes about ruining as well as taking lives. Her natural heat burns up all in her path, leaving only cinders behind. In a word, she's H-O-T!

    The plot is somewhat similar to the first movie, with Violet moving in with an old friend. She soon takes over the family through lies, sensuality, and multiple homicides. Violet is far more cunning and cold than Ivy ever was. This leads to more deceptions and a higher body count.

    Recommended for fans of erotic thrillers that live up to their billing...

    Jaime Pressly: Heaven sent.

    If you were to ask me who are my current favorites when it comes to women, I'd say Tina Barrett, Kira Reed, Catherine Bach (in her prime) and Shannon Whirry, but the one I'd love to meet first would be Jaime Pressly (or Tina Barrett). Pressly, a former Playboy Playmate, is the sexiest woman around, but sadly, her movie roles since this one have been for the likes of "Jerry Springer's Ringmaster", "Tomcats", and "Teen Movie", movies that I wouldn't even go see for free because they're awful. I usually wait until they're on video as part of 2 for 1s.

    Like these movies, Pressly first staring role is also in a BAD film. A sequel to the Poison Ivy movies, Pressly plays the sister of Drew "Available" Barrymore who's come to wreak havoc on the family who ruined her life. Much like others in this genre, she seduces family members and a woman's fiancé to ruin the family.

    From Pressly's first scene, where she gets out of the car and the camera pans her from her well-developed legs to her face, to the end, she dominates the film. She plays pure evil to the hilt, yet you cheer for her. If she wasn't in the film, this would be the worst film in history. Everyone else delivers a performance so bad that you're praying for Violet to ruin this family's structure fast. Susan Tyrell, who plays a meddling Euro maid who you'll really hate, and Athena Massey who plays a whiny, wimpy, spoiled rich girl, are the lowlights here. The film is slow, the dialogue is weak, and the direction is plodding. However, if this movie is on T.V., at least take a short look at it, because whether she's clothed or nude, there are very few, if any women in show business who are as much as a SEXBOMB as Jaime Pressly. O.K. Tina Barrett, too LOL.

    Beautifull surroundings makes this film a blast

    Jaime Pressly a beautful talented actress portrays an awful character for the first time, she plays it good, but i rather her as the good girl.

    Decent sex scenes, Beautiful surroundings and young talented actors is the ingredients this film needed to survive, the plot stunk and so did the ending. So in closing the only thing stopping this film from a total flop was Jaime Pressly.
