Watch The Roommate For Free

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

A Masterpiece!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

I did like this movie... back in 1992, when it was called "Single White Female". As for the blatant rip-off called "The Roommate"... urgh, one word: unoriginal. One more word: boring. Oh, and one more: predictable.When you watch the original "Single White Female", you feel that this is something that could really happen to someone in real life. The original was suspenseful and realistic. When you watch *this* (The Roommate)... well, I'm willing to bet anything that a story like this has never, and would never, happened in real life. It's just not believable. And there's zero suspense.They just took the excellent "Single White Female" (a suspenseful thriller) and made a dumbed-down PG version for kids in their early teens of it. That's all there is to it.If you want to see a real female-stalks-female story, watch "Single White Female". Or even the sequel - "Single White Female 2: The Psycho". If you've seen it/them already, don't bother watching "The Roommate", as it's nothing more than a rip-off of the above two titles, created for retards (or very young kids). If you're not one, you, most certainly, won't be impressed.Oh, and by the way, the acting was atrocious.Whoever produced the script for this movie, should just retire. It was pathetic. Man, it is blatantly obvious that s/he ripped-off "Single White Female", but what kind of idiot can't even *copy* someone else's work properly? They copied the unimportant elements, but left the important ones out. Jeez, what a moron.In the original movie ("Single White Female"), the stalker takes her obsession further by copying the lead's physical appearance, also with an agenda to frame her. But in The Roommate this part is replaced with... Oh, please! A tattoo of someone else's dead sister's name? She was supposed to be a dangerous, cunning, smart sociopath, not a clinically retarded looney.Oh, and I saw someone mention that the only reason to watch this are the "hot" lead actresses. Right. Well, first of all, they aren't actresses. They are pathetic amateurs. And... a butt-chin and a plain Jane? "Hot" indeed! In my humble opinion, this movie was not necessary at all. A waste of time and money.

The Roommate is a pretty entertaining suspense fatal attraction thriller. The actors did a good job representing their characters. Sarah and rebecca were good characters, and the actors gave good performances. Also Cam Gigandent is very enjoyable here, he's well acted, good looking, and makes his character very likable. I really liked that the chemistry between all the cast was very evident, there wasn't any scenes where I felt like the casting was wrong or the on screen chemistry wasn't there. I liked the tension in the movie, was the tension perfect?? No. But it sufficed and worked. The violence is not overly bloody or graphic, hence the PG-13 rating. The sexual content isn't overwhelming either, the sexual scenes are present for specific purposes, they are needed and necessary to the plot. Francis Fisher makes an appearance here, granted its a rather short one, but she does well with what little screen time she gets. Overall, this is an enjoyable fatal attraction creepy college aged thriller. No it's not perfect, but it accomplished what it set out to accomplish. 8/10 for The Roommate.

I just picked it up because the trailer for this teen flick staid somehow in my mind and it did remind me of Single White Female (1992). But all I can say is that it was indeed a teenage flick. i can't say that it was a horror or a thriller but just a teenage flick. Of course it was promoted well due two of the cast of Vampire Diaries to be seen but even they are only for a short note in it, Kat Graham (Kim) being in it for a few minutes but the one every Vampire Diaries fan is waiting for Nina Dobrev (Maria) only for a few seconds.You really have to wait until the end before things got out of hand, before that we just see some kind of sick jealousy from Rebecca (Leighton Meester) taking revenge on the life of Sara (Minka Kelly). I'm sure that teenagers will love this and will find it scary but to be honest, I would say, admittance under 12!Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 0/5 Story 0/5 Comedy 0/5

This film is about a young college student who has a seemingly nice roommate. Things turn for the worse when the roommate gets infatuated with her."The Roommate" is a thriller about a disturbed girl. Although the roommate seems like a nice person, there is more to her than on the surface. The plot is fairly intense and engaging, with scenes that kept me on edge. However, it would have been nice if the film explained what exactly is wrong with the roommate (the film's explanation does not explain her behaviour). I don't understand the significance of the tattoo either. The ending climax is good, but the very final pivotal moment ends rather disappointingly, as the scenario regarding the knife is too improbable to happen.Overall, "The Roommate" is an adequate thriller.
