...But you can choose what to watch at the cinema. However I seemed to have made quite a big mistake in choosing to go and watch The Roommate. I'd have to say the worse film i've ever had to endure. Frankly I resent paying to watch it, despite the fact that I got the two for one offer on Orange Wednesday. If there's anything to avoid this spring, I wouldn't worry about the "physco", best friend, roommate. I'd be more concerned about turning up to the cinema to find this being the only film showing, as was in my case.
My interest in the film lasted about as long as the plot summery and I'm sure I could sum that up as quickly as saying the physcho besfriend story. Sara Matthews moves to a big new city to start her freshman year at college. There she meets her new roommate, the sweet, artistic Rebecca Evans. The girls quickly become good friends and Rebecca starts to learn about Sara's life. Even from the beginning we get impression this Rebecca is a rather strange character and our surspicians are affirmed as Sara's other friend is attacked by Rebecca. Sara friends begin to disapear or distance themselves from her, due to Rebecca's violent actions.
The film lacked imagination and was extremely predicable, even with the little attention I was paying it. The characters appeared one dimensional and in no way interesting or relatable. If they had touched on more why Rebecca behaved the way she did, perhaps due to childhood incident, it would have created sympathy for the character and helped the audience to relate to her in some way or another. But frankly, we hated Rebecca, didn't know why she felt the need to go on a killing rampage and felt not so much as a ounce of sympathy for her.
Feel free to watch this film if you've been having trouble getting to sleep.
Even the 'action' scenes had me nodding off.
