Review of The Roommate (2011) by Andre J — 01 Nov 2011

The film's sure-to-be-brief theatrical release is a mere stopover on the way to basic-cable eternity. Managing nary a single original idea throughout its 93-minute running time, the film does benefit from a cast of sexy young TV stars who should attract the desired female teen demographic. It's exactly what you thought it would be: A plagiarized, campus-set "Single White Female" pitched to teens. If ever a thriller were to inspire a collective "eh," it's got to be The Roommate. It's not a good movie, by any means, but it's also not bad enough to have fun hating on. The Roommate proves that the one thing worse than a crazy, stalker roommate is one that's boring, predictable and no fun. Formulaic and forgettable.

VERDICT: "Some Ole' Bulls**t" - Second lowest rating (Negative reaction). These films are truly terrible films. They are not the worst things ever made, but they are definitely awful and should not be seen by anyone.
