When a hopeful, naive college freshman, Devon, asks the cool and confident Celeste to be her roommate, a blossoming friendship spirals into a war of passive aggression.

The film won’t be remembered as a campus classic, or even in the upper half of college movies, but it’s also not hard to see a world where somebody watches it at exactly the right time in their lives and proceeds to cherish it forever.

Questioning the moral fortitude of these comedies used to be something only critics did [...] Now 'Roommates' is getting in on the act and I respect the film’s sense of introspection. I just wish it had funnier jokes.

[While the] framing device is purposefully heighted, Sandler and East are fantastic at bringing a level of emotional realism to Devon and Celeste’s complicated bond, which is two parts Girls, one part Single White Female.

[Roommates] is [Levack's] most wide-ranging and tonally controlled film so far.

One of the twists in "Roommates" lies in a side love story that builds from the first episode and steals the show by the last episode. That’s the familial bond between brother and sister.

The big blow out fight while the dorm was set on fire was great cinema. I found myself feeling sorry for the rich roommate. Imagine you're 19 and your old dad marries a woman 21? Like how does one even deal with that? I don't like that the girls ending is working as a employee at Staples, the very store her father is the CEO of. All her bad behavior and getting kicked out of school is a cry for help.

typical story, fighting with roomates, wearing clothes, stealing girlfriends, there is nothing new in the movie, a little boring because it was just another movies. no crazy great story, google says there are dark parts but that's just typical fighting with friends. so good to watch but i will no repeate again

The plot wrote a check that the direction couldn’t cash. A perfect example of an "under-delivered" movie where the concept does all the work and the actual film does none of it.

One the worst movies ive watched this year… this is coming from a person who should love this type of movie. But it misses the mark every damn time. The main characters acting is a bit generic.

The movie had so much potential; it could've been as good as Mean Girls if they tried, or even better! The acting of the main cast was Great...except for Sarah Sherman...like...what was that... The ending was very unsatisfactory (I was waiting for a Regina George moment). It had so much potential.

This was honestly wholesome and extremely funny. I love Sandlers family. Essentially it's a story of a girl finding friends and finding confidence in herself and some hurdles about college life; specifically boys and roommates. Super wholesome movie, a lite version or Mean Girls. My only problem was, I felt bad for the roommate, she honestly wasn't a bad person, she just needed a better father.
