I just got the W movie channel and this is what they showed tonight. The listings said Contact with Jodie Foster was on. Instead, they showed this derivative, hackneyed, poorly acted and amateurishly written made-for-TV movie. Someone is clearly asleep at the channel, but I gave it a chance. It does have a plot that seems to be leading up to a violent encounter a la Single White Female. There is tension - who is going to get hurt or killed? Everything that is going to happen is telegraphed and obvious. I won't put any spoilers here, but it was watchable purely because of the hilariously bad (like a high school play) acting and the unbelievably overdone plot - haven't we seen a story like this about 1,000 times only without the plot fizzling out? PS I found out the name of it by typing in the keyword "roommate" in IMDb.

I thought this movie was the best ever. Really great acting, especially Ashley Leggat, who did the best acting ever. I love this movie so much! It's the best horror/thriller film ever. I've never seen anything like it, because it's the best ever. I thought this movie was very interesting, and I couldn't stop watching it. When it was on, I was automatically glued to the couch, and was eating popcorn, and was very impressed with the movie. Best movie ever! I hope they make another movie similar with the actress, Ashley Leggat in it. She's a really great actress. They all are great actors/actresses. Perfect characters for their roles. I give this movie a 10/10!

Lighten up, fellow reviewers! I just watched "The Perfect Roommate" and I loved it. All right, Boti Bliss has a name that sounds more like a Buddhist blessing than a human being, she's not exactly drop-dead gorgeous and Barbara Stanwyck was playing this sort of role much better before Ms. Bliss's mother was born, but her half-gamine, half-gnome appearance is just right for the role and she's actually doing a quite capable Psycho 101. Christine Conradt's script is her usual engaging melodrama complete with some pretty big plot holes (like — and here's why I marked the "spoiler" button — at the end when, instead of phoning her boyfriend, her boyfriend's ex-cop brother or the police, Ashley tries to reach her dad at the New Jersey hotel where he's shacking up with the villainess and it never seems to occur to her that she might be intercepting the calls) but still tense and action-packed, and some of the supporting characters, notably Carrie's confederate Anne (a nice hard-boiled performance by Cinthia Burke) and Matt's brother Ethan (I'd like to know who this guy is, since IMDb erroneously credits the performance to a woman, Christie Watson — unless we're supposed to believe that's some uncommonly good FTM drag), add strength and power to the piece. I've come to love Conradt's work precisely because it's so over-the-top (though at least she resists the temptation of some other Lifetime writers and doesn't have what looks like half the U.S. Armed Forces come to the rescue of the heroine at the end) and I had a lot of fun with this good neo-noir TV movie.

Eleven months after her ex-husband is thrown in jail for murder, 35-year-old Boti Bliss (as Carrie Remington) gets a job as a waitress. She works with naive young college student Ashley Leggat (as Ashley "Ash" Dunnfield). Ms. Bliss makes up a story which gets her invited to be Ms. Leggat's roommate. Bliss is really interested in seducing Leggat's 50-year-old father William R. Moses (as Richard Dunnfield), a super-rich widower. He doesn't like Leggat's bartender boyfriend Jon McLaren (as Matt Wilson). Bliss uses stolen information, homicidal Cinthia Burke (as Anne), and her cleavage to get close to Moses. Leggat begins to suspect her roommate is a liar. Sometimes it's better to live alone...**** The Perfect Roommate (7/21/11) Curtis Crawford ~ Boti Bliss, Ashley Leggat, William R. Moses, Jon McLaren
