The Roommate

Now let's talk about the roommate, I watched it wednesday night with a friend and well its definitely not one of my favorites. I hate when movies portray women as stupid and this movie succeeds in that. I mean really? How could Sarah not realize how crazy this Rebekah chick is. The movie seems very similar in character to the old Single White Female (1992) but if this is what they were going for then they failed severely. Although the cast tried very hard I felt that a lot was missing. Supposedly a suspense thriller, my friend who usually can't even handle the background music on scary movies was able to watch the movie while only covering her eyes once. The movie starsMinka Kelly, Leighton Meester, and Cam Gigandet. Leighton Meester does a very good job of acting crazy in this movie showing that she's not always the bitchy spoiled character she is like Blair in Gossip Girl. Cam of course plays a good boyfriend and Kelly, who I didn't really recognize, could have been better. She's playing in the rumored new Charlies Angels (2012) and I hope she gets some more practice.  So I leave with the decision that I'm not really impressed with this movie.
