Jessica Morris together with Eric Roberts,Vivica A. Fox,Brianna Joy Chomer and Jason-Shane Scott stars in this Lifetime TV movie about a woman who just broke up with her fiancé and gets an attraction with a villainous new roommate that is entitled "The Wrong Roommate".Screenwriter Matthew Jason Walsh and director David DeCoteau treats in one of his three TV movies that has the common title "The Wrong _____" in it.Laurie Valentine decided to break her engagement with her hotshot lawyer fiancé Mark after catching him in bed with another woman.This led her to go back to school as a college professor and looks after the big house of her sister who is on a business trip as well as her 17-year-old niece Ricki.In the process,she gets to meet Alan Cypher,the new tenant in one of the rooms of the big house of her sister.But since it is a Lifetime TV movie,we get to meet determined characters like Mark who would take "no" for an answer and tries to nag to Laurie about restoring their relationship and get back to each other.Too bad that Laurie is ready to move on and gets attracted to Alan,who unfortunately is in cahoots with Mark.Apparently,Alan and Mark are trying manipulate Laurie to help her get back to Mark,who happens to be being a former client due to his dark past.Unfortunately,Alan fell for the beautiful and sexy Laurie and presented danger to many of the characters of the story being a criminal and a cold-blooded killer.Well,no question that the viewer would definitely be treated to a typical Lifetime TV movie that has a common storyline of a woman involved in a dangerous attraction.No question that the elements of predictability,a stubborn character who would take "no" for an answer,a villain having psychotic and violent tendencies and a villain being brought to justice by the main characters instead of the police men in the end are present in it.But nevertheless,I would like to give credit to the screenwriter and director for providing unpredictability to the predictable elements of the Lifetime movie as we get to see these elements mentioned happening only in the last 1/3 of the movie.It was also nice to see the sexy bodies of both Jessica Morris and Jason-Shane Scott especially with the former in her red bathing suit and the latter flaunting his abs in shorts during many parts of the film.No question that sex sells and having them as extra elements of the typical Lifetime TV movie would bring additional charm and entertainment to both male and female viewers alike.

There was a great story line here of deceit and ultimate treachery. However, those 2 girls as college professors? Come on. They spoke more like high school juniors or seniors on some escapade. One of the professors, yet a professor of English pronounced the "t" in the word often. That's inexcusable to say the least.We do have a good premise here. Our young professor falls for an artist who gives her the line about breaking up with his girl. She is sympathetic to this as this has been the case with her recent detachment from her fiancé, a defense trial attorney.Our break up professor becomes involved with her niece's tenant and surprisingly we discover that he has been in cahoots with her former flame. The connection is never really totally established.We have the usual things happening, our lover boy killing the attorney and making it appear that he hit an older professor, Eric Roberts, who looks for the most part uncomfortable in the part. We have shootings and kidnapping before a satisfying ending takes place.

While her sister is in China on a business trip, beautiful blonde Jessica Morris (as Laurie Valentine) house-sits her luxurious estate. The college professor must also keep an eye on her sister's attractive 17-year-old niece. Also staying on the estate is muscular show-off Jason-Shane Scott (as Alan). The hunk is an artist who lives in the attic. Conflict arises when Ms. Morris' ex-fiancé keeps visiting, unannounced. He wants Morris back in bed. She has her eye on Mr. Scott, which isn't hard to fathom. Scott's physique is eye-catching. When the two meet, Morris wears a red bikini and denim shorts that flatter the female form very nicely. Later, she appears in black underwear. You get the feeling these bodies will hook up...Prolific actor Eric Roberts appears. It seems, from the opening minutes, like Mr. Roberts is the star; yet, his is a supporting role. Roberts ties for second male supporting actor. The college professors speak more like seventh graders than professional teachers. Roberts discovers a plot twist that strains credulity. Lobster art is a hot commodity, apparently. Also receiving top billing is Vivica A. Fox. She appears late in the running, looking incredulous. Later, she looks incredulous again. Others in the cast are occasionally less singular in their performances. Roberts and the extras make the most of their roles. The leading players certainly look good. Unfortunately, "The Wrong Roommate" is a very dumb TV movie.** The Wrong Roommate (2016-01-03) David DeCoteau ~ Jessica Morris, Jason-Shane Scott, Eric Roberts, Brianna Chomer
