The Roommate

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

Bunk.

A disaster from start to finish.

There are some interestingly nasty moments and some chills, but it's predictable and derivative.

The Roommate can't be taken seriously - for all Meester's genuine efforts, it's basically moronic games with the mentally ill - but it also misses the opportunity to go for broke, into a zone of full-tilt trash that might at least have been some fun.

This is trash of the tamest variety which elicits a few mild shudders at most.

It's just so damn boring.

A disappointing re-tread of Single White Female that pulls its narrative punches and wastes its talented "teen" cast. Leighton Meester deserved better&#59; let her cut loose!

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.

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