The Roommate Reviews

It's just so damn boring.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 30, 2024

A disappointing re-tread of Single White Female that pulls its narrative punches and wastes its talented "teen" cast. Leighton Meester deserved better; let her cut loose!

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 25, 2024

The movie was made for tame crowds out for safe chills and a predictable outcome, and that level of banality is exactly what’s delivered.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 31, 2023

It's difficult to fathom what Screen Gems saw as potential.

| Original Score: 1.0/4.0 | Sep 21, 2020

Instead of attempting to create a unique thriller, the filmmakers chose to make a typical one with bland characters and lackluster twists.

| Original Score: 1.0/5 | Jun 30, 2013

it's hardly worth sticking around for the routine climax of this toothless thriller just to see the ocular sweets get all chewed up and mangled.

| Original Score: .5/5 | Feb 15, 2013

One dry hump of almost thrills that are incredibly lackluster and void of any sort of suspense or tension.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 12, 2011

the direction of the film is fraught with problems, and one feels that the promising young cast deserved better than this.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 1, 2011

A storyline that unimaginatively rehashes countless pivotal elements from other stalker-themed movies means that the whole production is a dull and pointless exercise that twists and turns in precisely the manner you expect it to.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 14, 2011

It might be genius compared to Single White Female 2: The Psycho, but know that The Roommate is ultimately about as sensitive as that dtv sequel sounds.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 26, 2011

It is as bland as movies get. There's not one single nod or wink to the audience and it never manages to develop even an iota of suspense. What's really weird is its complete reliance on a slick modern rock soundtrack that never seems to stop.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 5, 2011

More fun than getting stabbed, at least.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 13, 2011

... a Miss Teen "Fatal Attraction" ‒ with baked kitten replacing rabbit stew on the menu.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 5, 2011

Christainsen chooses a teen-friendly rating over cheap titillation and his uneven tone squanders all the ingredients for a good horror movie completely.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 13, 2011

Christiansen's witless, badly acted thriller is a throwback to the early 1990s.

| Apr 10, 2011

Bunk.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 9, 2011

A disaster from start to finish.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 8, 2011

Elicits snores and guffaws thanks to workmanlike 'shock' moments and obvious twists.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 8, 2011

The biggest jolt the film can muster comes when the viewer's head hits the back of the chair after nodding off

| Apr 8, 2011

You could spend the entire movie texting your friends and not miss a thing, which I suppose its target audience may consider an asset.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Apr 7, 2011
