Spoiler ahead: How is that Mark got Alan established in the house as a renter BEFORE he knew that Laurie had gone there? It looks like she's only been there a day, and he's already set up in the attic apartment.And how did he know that her sister would even let him move in? It doesn't look like she needs the money a renter would bring in.Oh well--it's a Lifetime movie. (I must admit--I was sort of glad when Mark "got his.")

Pretty professor (Jessica Morris) stays in her absent sister's house to babysit her teenage niece. But there is a charming artist renting a room there who happens to be set up by her ex. From the title you can tell he's a bit more than anyone bargained for.There are not too many surprises here - but it's mindlessly diverting to watch things unfold. Strange cameo by Eric Roberts - what happened to his teeth? If you need a trashy Lifetime thriller - it's okay.

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
