The pieces were in place for a nice little story, but by trying to do too much with it, Roommates overshoots the runway.

Falk is good, but this is ultimately an exercise in shameless manipulation.

Bad because of the blasphemy, use of the Lord Jesus Christ name several times in the movie. Not so sure I'm a fan of Adam Sandler movies anymore. He must respect Christians and no need to use the name of Jesus Christ like that.

The talent is here but the script leaves them nothing to work with.

It may not be the best movie ever, but the performances were memorable and such a wonderful story about a boy and his grandfather.

A nice tale of an old man and his grandson. A true story filmed in my home town here in pittsburgh. (Peter Faulk filmed a few movies here)

Forgot about this little movie that was made in 1995. Very funny and heartwarming.

Nice. Sweet. Moving. Peter Falk was great as the old geezer (though the makeup sometimes was questionable).
