What makes college so something special? One of Them obviously are Able to stay outdoors and get to know new people from other places. Interesting indeed but That does not mean everything is interesting and then have no risk. For example, depicted in the film is titled The Roommate. happy reading.
Lets face it ... you know what you're getting with "The Roommate." There is no way That you can walk into the theater and expect this to be a great movie. But if you do Decide to see it you Might Actually enjoy how predictable and the characters are fun to watch. You know the story: a girl moves in with a crazy roommate WHO begins to obsess over her. Its Basically the '90s movie "Single White Female" starring Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Only this time the film is set in college and stars Minka Kelly ("500 Days of Summer") and Leighton Meester ("Country Strong"). The movie is silly, strange and at times nonsensical but I still have to say that i enjoyed watching it on some level. You really get what you expect, good laughs and a couple of good scares.
I do not know that I'd recommend you rush out to the theaters to see it but the movie really Was not as bad as I expected. I know that is not the kind of thing filmmakers want to Hear but it's true. The characters were the resource persons the resource persons predictable but strong enough That They held my attention all the way through. I expected to get bored at some point but I never did. There Were A Few surprises but Those events seemed somewhat predictable. Perhaps that's what makes this movie enjoyable on some level ... the fact That you do know what is going to Happen. The new roommate is going to go crazy, threaten all the people in her life and eventually Will there be a Confrontation the the between the two. Because I think That you know what's going to take place next, you are Able to relax and enjoy the movie for what it is. Mindless fun.
The movie begins by introducing us to Sara (Minka Kelly) as She moves into her new dorm room. She is a freshman at a University in Los Angeles and recently broke up with her boyfriend. She is looking forward to meeting her new roommate but before That Happens She befriends Tracy (Alyson Michalka) and They go to a frat party together. At the party She meets Stephen (Cam Gigamdet), the drummer in the party's band. Sara eventually meets her new roommate, Rebecca (Leighton Meester), Who is nice but a bit strange. The two Become friends and Rebecca begins to obsess over Sara. She threatens Tracy and forces her to stay away from Sara, as well as getting a teacher (Billy Zane) Who Had a hit on Sara, fired. As Stephen and Sara Get Closer, Things get stranger with Rebecca. Its not till Sara visits Rebecca's Home That She finds out the truth about her and realizes That She not all there. Now, with Stephen's help, Sara has to get as far away from Rebecca as SHE can before it's too late.
The Biggest obstacle of this film has to Overcome is common sense. Anyone with half a brain would Recognize That this girl is crazy on day one. Why She Would not request to change rooms? But again, I'm thinking about it too much. What works about the movie is That it does not take too Itself Seriously. It's almost like They Were Trying to Make a campy movie. Where it fails is Pls They do try to get serious, like Pls They visit Rebecca's home. We see a Glimpse in to her childhood and it is not Necessary. SHE'S CRAZY ... We get it! The movie works best Pls They Do not try to explain the craziness and They just accept it. The more over-the-top the film gets the more fun I had. Pls Rebecca threatens Like Sara's kitten, Cuddles, by sticking him in a dryer. That's just sick! The final fight scene is also ridiculous but fun to watch.
Actress Leighton Meester plays Rebecca, the roommate from hell, and does a good job in the part. As out-of-control as She gets She is always believable and Appears to even be having fun in the part. There is a craziness in her eyes That Works for the role. Cam Gigandet, WHO was last seen in "Burlesque," is also good as Stephen, the new boyfriend. It is a thankless role but the actor plays it with charm and is always interesting to watch. Minka Kelly was fine in the role of Sara, but lacked the same screen presence as her co-stars. Other than the Fact That She is beautiful, you never really Understand why Rebecca obsesses over Sarah so much. You almost have to wonder if She would have reacted the same to anyone That Had been randomly assigned to That Room? But again, it really does not matter. The script by Sonny Malihi is predictable, stereotypical and nothing more than a remake of "Single White Female" set in college, but it is light and does not take it self too Seriously. The direction by Christian E. Christiansen is not extraordinary but he does set a nice tone for what the movie is: stupid fun. In the end.
"The Roommate" is a silly movie That Gives you exactly what you expect, nothing more and nothing less. natikan synopsis of other films, which certainly will be more exciting and more interesting. d blig because it still is. thanks
