Movie Review: The Roommate (2011)

This movie has no business being as bland as it is. It’s a psychological thriller about the age-old creepy roommate. We’ve got beautiful women all over the place, with Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly in the lead roles.

So we’ve got a sleazy kind of plot, beautiful women…the perfect setup for a sleazy exploitation-y classic. And it’s just not that. I guess this is probably PG-13. It’s tame not just in its lack of any kind of titillation, but even in its violence, it just doesn’t go far enough. The only real scene I enjoyed was the one where Leighton Meester confronted her creepy professor (Billy Zane) to frame him for rape.

It’s just really quite bad. It has very little to offer, really.

Rating: 2/10
