Roommate Wanted (2015)

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Sorry, this movie sucks

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Going into this film I was expecting a serious horror film or thriller. On the other hand, the film might be a mixture of genres. Sometimes the film feels like a comedy, sometimes like a drama, and sometimes like a psycho thriller. In the case of Roommate Wanted you have a better than expected film that is a lot of genres in one big blender. The film can be best described as a dramedy about mismatched roommates who hate each other. You might be thinking to yourself that this does not sound like horror and you would be partly correct. However, when the film goes to the extreme it gets EXTREME. The film benefits from strong performances and from the fact that although it is a small movie, it looks great. The performances are really good. Honestly, the performances are the best part of the film. Alexa Vega is more than just a pretty face. She is talented, tough, a good actress, and I wish we could see her in more films. I also thought how even though there are only two real main characters, you can connect to them both. Meaning you can relate to both Alexa Vega's character and Spencer Grammar's character.What I didn't like about the film is the writing is a little off. Meaning, the script feels like there are parts that drag, feel like filler, and at times doesn't know what it wants to be. So these are my final B*tchin' Buddha thoughts on Roommate Wanted (2015). It is a film you are going to like, or a film you are going to hate. I honestly do not see too many people loving this, but I do see someone liking this. If you are looking for a simply minded horror, thriller, comedy, whatever it is. I think you will be pleased. I believe this film earns a…6 out of 10.This review is brought to you by Boogie Buddha, and remember don't just get down, but get Boogie. Thank you for reading and or viewing, and I hope you all have an amazing day and night as always. :)

If you have to completely different characters on display, it sometimes is very hard to pick which one you actually like to root for. In this case I thought I was rooting for the lesser evil of the two, the one that seemed to keep it as real as possible, instead of harboring anger and letting it explode almost without a reason.But if you're honest to yourself, both are as mean as it gets. Not that you wish them anything bad. You just don't care about them, which is not the best thing for a movie with two main characters who are on screen most of the time. Where is the connection? While you may be able to understand how the situation came to be, the extremes this goes are a bit much (which is actually an understatement).

The only reason I gave this movie two stars, rather than one is because I actually thought enough of the movie to sit through the entire movie in high hopes it would get better.The movie starts off with one roommate beating the crap out of the other and then it rewinds to earlier that day to explain why. After that, the plot maintains stability and interest for about 20 minutes. After that, the entire plot is a bit loose and quite boring. We have no idea how it came to be that these two mentally unstable and completely opposite lead characters decided to live together, obviously without even knowing each other at all beforehand. More history, rather than "We have 341 days left on the lease" would have been better for the movie's plot and its absent character growth. Have you ever watched the movie "Home Alone" and spent the entire movie wondering, just like I did, "How could this happen (that Culkin's character got left behind by his own mother)??!" Well, you are going to do the same thing for 95 minutes - only this time you will wonder how they became roommates in the first place.And just when you thought you have seen enough cat fighting, here comes the ending. And it's terrible. Just the horrible icing on an already poor cake.So, not only do you get no history between the characters, you are left with no future with them, either.A cross between "Single White Female" and "War of the Roses."

This movie is all about simple cat fight which turns into a violent one. The entire movie is about a day, and it was so bizarre. Things are happening without any sequence. One moment one girl showing something or doing something that irritates the other person, next moment she amends that or apologize. And it goes vice versa throughout the film. Which does not make any sense at all.Now about the acting only main two girls acting was tolerable but the acting of the rest of the cast looks like they are the relatives of the producer or the director. Talk about overacting and silly expressions, they were expert on that. But at the end where the intense scene was taking place, there the main two actresses' acting became pretty sloppy too. And the ending, it is the best worst part of the movie. In the final scene both actresses depicted worst acting skill ever, their achievement throughout the film falls apart in this scene, you will agree with me if you watch the movie. But I highly recommend you to avoid the film unless you are into cat fights.I am giving the movie 3 stars only because the efforts the two main character put into the movie.
