Review of The Roommate (2022) by Marcdoyle — 06 Feb 2011
No, it's not a good movie, but it's not nearly as terrible as I thought it would be. It did clear something up for me, though. Minka Kelly can't pull off this kind of part. I love Friday Night Lights and thought she did a solid, minimalist job with her role as Lila Garrity.
But that was just Minka. There apparently wasn't a ton of acting going on there. In a role like this one, in a movie like The Roommate, she needed to play it "bigger" than she did, and she comes off as an empty vessel as a result.
A little boring. Meester isn't incredible in her role either, but at least she has fun with it. The movie just has a sterile feeling to it. And box-cutters? Are they really the new horror movie weapon of choice? And what's with the PG-13 rating?? That was the most depressing part as I walked into the theater.
This kind of movie NEEDs to be Rated R.
