Sarah Matthews is a beautiful girl from Des Moines, Iowa, to Los Angeles to study fashion design. Coincidentally, Sarah meets Stephen and Tracy and the roommate Rebecca. Maybe Rebecca is a nice and sweet girl and ready to share everything with Sarah and also can be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Something strange happens, as Tracy feels that there is something wrong with Rebecca's life and things are getting bad near Sarah for no reason. In that case, Sara needs university experience to get to understand what is happening.
The movie is exploitative schlock; both its stars -- particularly Meester, who has something, although she herself has perhaps not yet figured out what -- deserve better.
A storyline that unimaginatively rehashes countless pivotal elements from other stalker-themed movies means that the whole production is a dull and pointless exercise that twists and turns in precisely the manner you expect it to.
Kelly and Meester hit their marks and look pretty doing it, while supporting players Cam Gigandet, Billy Zane and Aly Michalka fade into the background so blandly that viewers will never remember they were there.
It might be genius compared to Single White Female 2: The Psycho, but know that The Roommate is ultimately about as sensitive as that dtv sequel sounds.
