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.

While more commercial than Mile End Kicks, Chandler Levack’s humanist touch seeps through every aspect of her funny and achingly moving Roommates, anchored by two brilliant performances from Sadie Sandler and Chloe East.

...a woefully disposable and forgettable comedy that strikes all the wrong notes right from the get-go...

A solid teenage comedy, one that is more preoccupied with character than big dumb jokes. And Sadie Sandler, as she did in Bat Mitzvah, proves to be more than capable despite her easy entry into the industry.

The film isn't a masterpiece, but it has its charm and, above all, it provides a good time in front of the screen. With its ups and downs, Sadie Sandler establishes herself as the family heir and proves she can carry her own film without being in her father's shadow, which is a major draw. Here she shines in her own right, delivering a pleasant comedy that portrays the more complicated side of living with roommates.

I wish I could unwatch this. The performances are solid but the writing is absolutely atrocious.

I was already excited to watch when I saw Sadie Sandler, and they did not disappoint!!! The plot is so amazing, the ending was perfect, the acting felt almost real, and I would definitely watch again!!

This is a light, easy film that doesn’t demand much focus. The story is a repeated theme: an unpopular high school student tries to gain popularity in college, only to discover her roommate envies her family bonds. Story (1/2) and plot (1/2) are predictable, but the acting stands out as the best part (2/2). Visuals are average (1/2), and overall enjoyment is mild yet pleasant (1/2). Final Score: 6/10 – A simple, enjoyable watch if you’re in the mood for something casual, but don’t expect originality or depth.

I loved every second of it. If Mean Girls and Heathers had a baby who went to college, it would be this movie.
