The Roommate (2011)

This movie should have been called ‘The Boring’ because that’s what it was. This movie is so mind-numbingly dull that it makes The Eagle look like 300. The film is not only boring, it is uninspired, poorly written, lazy, dull, and terrible. To sum the film up in a nutshell, it is Single White Female with a 4% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. And now, if you were thinking about seeing this film, I hope that you have changed your mind by now. And if you haven’t, I am going to stress this to you right now-DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! This is what I have heard from so many of my friends, the ones that actually paid to see it in the theaters. Because of the fact that you’re reading this now (and I am assuming other ones I have written), I think that you can tell that my mission is to watch every single movie and tell people if they are any good. So I will watch any single movie that is released (legitimately, tomorrow I’m watching Dylan Dog: Dead of Night), and express my thoughts. And my thoughts are this-DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! There is legitimately only one good part of this film, and it makes me even sadder because of the fact that it is wasted on this horrible film. The single good part of the film is Leighton Meester, who plays a psycho mental crazy lady who stalks her roommate. Few performers have the ability to take terrible dialogue and make it great. Meester has that ability, bringing terrible dialogue to being just mediocre. But what is phenomenal is her facial expressions. When she smiles, it is perfection, demonic innocence, to say the least. And in her eyes. Oh, when she has to portray an emotion, I want you to (if on the off chance you’re still gonna see this movie) pause the film, recognize the emotion that she has to portray, and study her eyes. I can tell here, this girl has the potential to win an Oscar someday. I’m really waiting for her to be great in a film that is great along with her. But anyway, she is great in this film. But not great enough for the film to even be redeemable. It is a terrible film. Let me reiterate this again-DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I legitimately hope you’ll listen to me.
