I haven't watched "Single White Female" so as to make a comparison with this film. Except for the originality of the plot and generally poor choices of music, the film is OK.

Not terrible but a very stupid thriller. It has step by step format of what we expect and some wierd twist with it. The performances we're all right but really. It's not awful and it's not great.

Single white female clone with none of the originality. The acting is wooden and the plot is so far from realism that the actions of the characters beggars belief.

I have the oportunity to watch this film, The Roommate, and I think that can be a disaster like the critics say, but no, is really interesting, the cast is not the better, but Leighton Meester and Aly Michalka have some good moments, TheI have the oportunity to watch this film, The Roommate, and I think that can be a disaster like the critics say, but no, is really interesting, the cast is not the better, but Leighton Meester and Aly Michalka have some good moments, The Roommate is good.… Expand

Oh, Come on critics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It wasn't terrible in the slightest. It was very entertaining and kind of creepy. The acting was very real and believable. Leighton Meester was perfect for the role of insane roommate. It's not art, butOh, Come on critics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It wasn't terrible in the slightest. It was very entertaining and kind of creepy.

Long story short, this is a bad movie. From the medium acting, to the very stupid actions from the characters to the bad writing, this is a prime example of how not to do a PG-13 "horror" if you can call it that, movie. While from this reviewLong story short, this is a bad movie. From the medium acting, to the very stupid actions from the characters to the bad writing, this is a prime example of how not to do a PG-13 "horror" if you can call it that, movie. While from this review it would seem that this is an awful movie, it still managed to be pretty entertaining and I enjoyed watching it. If you're expecting a creepy, violent or even good horror movie, you should watch something else. But if you only want to be entertained and you have an hour and a half to lose, you should give it a chance.… Expand

Great soundtrack which, for some insane reason, wasn't released by the studio. Weird move, because that's one of the best parts about this movie. I wouldn't say it's bad; it's just a pretty blatant reboot of Single White Female from the 90s.Great soundtrack which, for some insane reason, wasn't released by the studio. Weird move, because that's one of the best parts about this movie. I wouldn't say it's bad; it's just a pretty blatant reboot of Single White Female from the 90s. Main difference is that the "crazy roommate" is presented as crazy right from the beginning, and the "sane roommate" is so laid-back and chill that she's kind of blah (and makes you wonder how she could possibly overlook what's so screamingly obvious to everybody around her). So really, it's tough to sympathize with either character. Then Cam Gigandet shows up and adds some nice humor and sarcasm, but there again -- wish they would have intensified his relationship with Minka Kelly a bit more. These two share a few quickie smooches and an extremely PG-rated "love scene" that makes the relationship feel a lot more cool and casual than the writers may have intended. Okay, not necessarily a major problem ... until we're asked to buy into the fact that the guy would put his life on the line for this chick. Not trying to trash the movie by any means. It's worth a watch; the characters themselves just could have been written a little edgier. And the studio should have released that soundtrack.… Expand
