May 14, 2012lol at this movie. I love how the girl is mentally unstable yet her parents allowed her to go AWAY to college haha. Great logic there. I also really like the fact that Michalka's character pretty much fell out of the movie entirely. She never called the cops or anything after she... read more

This movie is entirely uninteresting and savagely boring. The minute it began I couldn't stop wanting it to end. The Roommate has terrible acting, awful direction and just a plain lame premise. There's be... read more -
March 25, 2012A tame version of Single white female basically. These types of films are always geared towards the teenage market that might not have seen the film that nearly all the ideas are from. By having the low rating though it suffers from not being able to be more shocking or disturbi... read more

January 11, 2012There are some interestingly nasty moments and some chills, but it's predictable and derivative.

October 24, 2011To call this awful would be a little harsh, emphasis on a little. As Leighton Meester really does give it her all as potraying a physcotic stalker, however it's just not good enough. The storyline has been done before, many a times and doesn't really seperate itself from any of t... read more

October 23, 2011I was surprised by the low ratings here. I mean, okay, it is a second rate rip off of Single White Female, but anyone who didn't know that going into it is deluded. I expected a dumb psycho movie, and this delivered. All the cliches are there. It is not all that gory (and I w... read more

August 14, 2011definitely nothing special and new about it, just some psychological teenage thriller that will freak out some woman.. For me, the story could be rewritten into a better story, like telling a little about Rebecca's past why she become so obsessed like this because they lack an ex... read more

July 8, 2011I don't know why so many people on her disliked this movie. I thought that it was very good & not terrifying but it was definitely a good thriller.

The movie is exploitative schlock; both its stars -- particularly Meester, who has something, although she herself has perhaps not yet figured out what -- deserve better. Full Review

"The Roommate'' is dumb about psychology and suspense. Full Review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
The Roommate - the umpteenth uncredited remake of 1992's Single White Female - sucks bad, real bad. Full Review

Jason Anderson, Toronto Star
Unfortunately, The Roommate is too timid to make an impression of any kind. Full Review

Its most fiendish moment comes when one girl yanks out another's bellybutton ring. Not that -- anything but that! Full Review

Keith Staskiewicz, Entertainment Weekly
With few scares and minimal characterization, The Roommate is really just a far-below-par thriller that desperately wishes it were a different movie -- a longing it shares with the audience. Full Review

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
If ever a thriller were to inspire a collective "eh," it's got to be "The Roommate." It's not a good movie, by any means, but it's also not bad enough to have fun hating on. Full Review

Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
Without tension or suspense, the film is too gloomy and chaste to be a naughty exploitation picture but also too brainless to work as anything more real. Full Review
