The Roommate Reviews

Movie Reviews

• the movie leans heavily on John Frizzell's strident string-heavy score

  by Roger Moore [Orlando Sentinel ]

• telegraphs every dull twist and turn to the point that its harried set pieces feel like parodic recreations of cliched genre scenarios

  by Nick Schager [Slant Magazine ]

• isn't a particularly great film

  Review rate : D by Scott Tobias [AV Club ]

• is too timid to make an impression of any kind

  by Jason Anderson [Toronto Star ]

• is too gloomy and chaste to be a naughty exploitation picture but also too brainless to work as anything more real

  by Elizabeth Weitzman [LA Times ]

• is really just a far-below-par thriller that desperately wishes it were a different movie

  by Keith Staskiewicz [Entertainment Weekly ]

• is an all-too-familiar tale

  by Frank Scheck [Hollywood Reporter ]

• if The Roommate's idea of both were less plastic, it might not play like such a bad knock-off

  by John P. McCarthy [Boxoffice Magazine ]

• formulaic and forgettable

  by Rob Nelson [Variety ]

• fails to ape the shadow-striped cinematography of the original film

  by Jeannette Catsoulis [NY Times ]

• fails on every level

  by Chris Barsanti [Filmcritic.com ]
