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

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)

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

Falk is a lovable grandfather who finds himself rooming with med-student grandson. What ensues is a touching and often very funny examination of both the generation gap and the connection between two well` meaning and well- loved individuals. From the novel by Max Apple
