Synopsis
It's been some time since Father Jebedaiah Mayii exorcised the Devil from little Nancy Aglet, who is now grown up with a husband and two children of her own. But the prince of darkness wants to go a second round and has returned to repossess her! With Father Mayii unwilling to help, Father Luke Brophy tries his best to help Nancy, even when TV's Ernest Weller plans to air the exorcism live on TV.

Entertainment Weekly
There’s a weird, hedonistic thrill to seeing an entire movie filled with jokes this cheap, including gags about PMS, Sean Penn, and a Tammy Faye Bakker type (who hosts a show called Exorcism Tonight). - 70
Variety
Nonstop silliness keeps this frightless spoof of The Exorcist entertaining enough to keep an undemanding audience happy. - 63
Orlando Sentinel
Repossessed sounded like a great idea: Leslie Nielsen performs an exorcism on Linda Blair. But it's one of those flicks that can't decide whether it wants to be a pure-dee Naked Gun rip-off with 9,000 sight gags or have a real honest-to-God comedy plot. It's got some horse laughs in it, but you keep going "Shouldn't I be laughing again by now?" [19 Oct 1990, p.13] - 42
Entertainment Weekly
For a movie seemingly written and directed by sophomore-year film students, Repossessed offers a number of laughs. Five. But it mainly demonstrates that Nielsen is at his best when leaving production duties to professionals. - 40
Time Out
Worth a few cheap pubescent laughs, but Exorcist fans will doubtless feel cheated. - 38
The Seattle Times
Linda Blair and Leslie Nielsen deserve better than the scattershot script for Repossessed, a desperate spoof of The Exorcist that generates perhaps two belly laughs, three well-earned smiles and about 287 groaners. [29 Sep 1990, p.B7] - 20
Empire
Re-prehensible, re-heated, and certainly not re-commended. - 10
TV Guide Magazine
The only really good thing that can be said about REPOSSESSED is that it makes Exorcist II look like a classic. To hell with it.
