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.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
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.

"The Roommate'' is dumb about psychology and suspense.
The Roommate - the umpteenth uncredited remake of 1992's Single White Female - sucks bad, real bad.
We could not possibly care less.
