FILM REVIEW: Leighton Meester, Minka Kelly Star in the Familiar, Unoriginal Tale ‘The Roommate’

The sort of tepid, seemingly made-for-television thriller that will appeal only to younger audiences to whom Single White Female might as well have been made in black-and-white, The Roommate is an all-too-familiar tale of a young woman increasingly terrorized by her psycho roomie. Managing nary a single original idea throughout its 93-minute running time, the film does benefit from a cast of sexy young TV stars who should attract the desired female teen demographic.
