My god, what to say about this movie? It's one of those made for TV movies you come across one afternoon when you're a bit bored and channel surfing and decide to watch to see if it's any good, then when you realise how cheesy and lame the 'storyline' (if you can call it that) is, and how terrible some of the acting is (BOTI BLISS please step forward!!) you can't stop watching it because it's so bad it's entertaining for that reason alone! I won't go into details about what this movie's about (read some of the other reviews for that!) but it really is very lame and, as other reviewers have commented, Boti Bliss is one of the main reasons it's so bad. With her dark 'pixie' haircut she looked like an Audrey Hepburn wannabe, but failed miserably. She isn't 'femme fatale' or sexy enough to have played that role - she looked more like a bug eyed middle- class suburban housewife with a husband who has an incredibly boring but well paid job. Also, her acting in general was awful and she just wasn't believable in that role. To be expected to believe that William Moses's character would fall head over heels for someone like her was ridiculous. William Moses seems to have become the Susan Lucci of TV movies and he's not a bad actor so I wish he wouldn't lower himself to be part of crappy movies like this! He can do much better.Also, I noticed a goof in this movie, which doesn't seem to be mentioned on here. When the daughter rushes from the restaurant towards the end of the movie, after asking her boyfriend to take over her shift because she has to go and warn her dad about what's going on, her hair is in a ponytail, yet at one point when the camera goes to her driving along in her car suddenly her hair is down and not in the ponytail anymore. Presumably, if her character was so frantic to get to her dad before anything bad happened to him she'd hardly have taken the time to change her hairstyle on the way there! Oh, as for the first review on here of this movie - as someone else has commented, that the reviewer (Coop Burtonburger?!) has given this movie a 10 star review is hilarious! Either that person was associated with the making of the movie or he's connected to someone who was part of the movie - and given that he gushed twice about one of the actresses (I think the actress who played William Moses's character's daughter) I think maybe it was her boyfriend or someone who's obsessed with her !! Of course, the other alternative is that that Coop Burtonburger has recently landed from Mars and this was the first movie he has ever seen and he was so awestruck that he thought it was incredible! Oh, or he could have been as high as a kite when he saw it and reviewed it. Those are the only possible reasons surely for giving a 10 star rating to a movie that should really have a zero star rating ! !

the movie started out very good. i thought this is going to be great. william moses is always great, and he was in this movie also. it starts out with the husband being arrested, but nothing more really heard about it. his wife then gets a job as a waitress, and starts here venture to hook up with one of the servers dad because he is rich. what gets me is carrie is anything but beautiful, but she sweeps mr dunfield off his feet. after carrie sleeping with her dad, and her finding out, she never kicks her out of her apt. why would you let someone stay when you know they did that? carrie also walks around in teenage clothing that is too small for her and looks ridiculous. the whole plot was predictable,and the acting besides ashley and mr dunfield was not the best. it seems like it is just dragged out way to long. you know within the first 10 minutes how everything is going to pan out. would never re watch it.

It's funny when you read the reviews for a terrible film like this one and see one person, in this case "Coop Burtonburger" giving it a 10 out of 10 and saying it was the 'best film they've ever seen!' because you just KNOW these people are involved with the film in some capacity. The guy has only ever reviewed 1 film and it's THIS ONE and his giving it a 10/10, too funny. I wonder if he own Capital Productions, the company that made this piece of garbage.Come on man, gimme a break. I've never even HEARD of Capital Productions/ It's clearly some little production company that's feeding off government tax credits which is why it's based in Ottawa. the Capital of Canada.Anyhow, a pretty terrible film all around.

Canada must have us by the you-know-what. They help us in Afghanistan and we have to keep importing these awful Canadian dramas and TV shows.Case in point, "The Perfect Roommate," which feels like two movies rolled into one.The plot is atrocious and outrageous, not to mention far-fetched. The acting is barely passable and the dialogue is almost funny at times. As a villainess, Boti Bliss should have asked for her role back on "CSI: Miami" to at least see what a villain should be like.William R. Moses should be ashamed. He starred convincingly on "Falcon Crest" for 11 years and then did about a decade's worth of "Perry Mason" movies. Yet, in this film, he's not just naive, he incredibly naive.The plot is basically a conniving murderer and her ex-con friend go after the filthy rich Richard Dunnfield (Moses). To do it, Carrie Remington (Bliss) plays the femme fatale. Less than a year removed from framing her former husband for a murder she and her friend Anna (Cinthia Burke) committed, she gets a job as a waitress with Richard's daughter Ashley (Ashley Leggat). She then worms her way into Ashley's life as her roommate and uses that as a springboard to hook up with Richard who, by turning 50, apparently has dementia.The plot is ridiculous. The movie begins by having the police arrest Carrie's former husband. Then, he completely disappears from the movie until about midway when he's referenced for two seconds.Anna breaks into Ashley's car and steals her computer, which she uses to find out information on her and her father. Apparently, no one in Canada uses passwords as Carrie and Anna have no problem getting into anyone's e-mail accounts. Carrie waltzes into the café's employee file room and steals Ashley's personnel jacket.She finds out Ashley's allergic to shellfish, poisons her and spikes the antidote. Then, she throws away the tainted food and disposes of the antidote she tampered with. Ashley never gets wise to it and lets it slide. No lawsuits, no talking to a lawyer, no nothing.I won't go into all of it, but the movie loses credibility right from the start for one reason -- Boti Bliss. If you're filthy rich like Dunnfield, you get a trophy wife like Paula Wickless (Teresa Donovan). Paula gets bumped off by Anna so Carrie can have no obstruction to her seduction of Richard.Let's face it. Bliss is not a hottie by any stretch of the imagination. Otherwise, she would have been more than just a recurring forensics tech on "CSI: Miami." She'd have been up there with Eva LaRue.In this movie, Bliss looks even worse. Her hair makes her look like Meryl Streep in "A Cry in the Dark." She also looks like she's had a bad breast job and facial cosmetic surgery. Her backside is too wide and she looks ridiculous running around in Ashley's style of clothing. And we have to believe Richard would fall head over heels for her instead of the gorgeous Paula.As the cold-blooded killer Anna, Burke is serviceable. Yet, she is two-dimensional and gets no time to even halfway develop her character. She's like a stock red herring-style character from, well, from just about any number of Canadian Lifetime Movie flicks.It seems as if this movie should either have had Bliss as a demented roommate of Ashley a la "Single White Female" or had Donovan as an evil woman trying to seduce and then kill Dunnfield. Trying to combine the two and using Bliss in a role she was ill-suited for only resulted in an epic fail.
