Bad Roomies

At the beginning this movies feels like a YouTube video has gone long. Its missing a cinematic quality I've grown accustomed to from years of watching real movies.

The dialog do not sound natural and I believe the actors know about this too, they do not have the conviction of what come out of their face mouth. And also the both male characters are not likable with this movie, but this could just me one man's option.

To summarize,

Don't watch it, you don't need to, you're going to get nothing out of it unless you're a film student, if you're a film student then this level of work might just be perfect.

I started this movie, thinking it would be a classic raunchy/semi-satirical comedy of 21st century. I was quickly proved wrong. Overall, I give "Bad Roomies" a 3 out of 10 star rating. This film started out funny, I'll admit. A lot of the jokes were funny, the stuff they did was comical, and a lot of the lines were very well/cleverly-written. The cinematography was also pretty dang good; it was shot very well, with a good usage of natural lighting. Then, the movie got confusing. Then, stupid. Then, in the second half of the film, everything was very confusing, weird, and kind of stupid. I did not enjoy this movie very much overall; it was a WASTE OF TIME and I really don't understand other watchers of this movie that say it was any good.

So, like the headline says I think the concept is good and interesting but the story line was all over the place and fell flat. It focused on to many different things that were kind of irrelevant. On a comedy standpoint their was some good chuckles but overall not really a comedy.

I thought this movie was well put together. At first given its premise I was going to flick through stopping here and there if something caught my attention however I actually found the movie interesting and watched it all. In truth I found Annie Monroe's performance captivating. Her co-stars gave strong performances as well. And the ending: dark comedy to perfection. The movie is not pretentious in any way but rather draws the viewer in at the start with comedy which gradually gets darker and darker with surprising twists and turns. They keep your interest for sure and I found myself drawn to the characters and empathizing with them. I mean the movie had just the right balance between acting and plot so you could suspend disbelief and enjoy the movie for what it was: a darkly funny rendering of roommates desperately unbalanced.

A comedy about two friends who have to find a replacement roommate to help with the bills. They have difficulty finding a suitable applicant until they decide to choose a woman. They feel this will be better. Things are awesome at first, and they soon end up in a drunken threesome. Shortly after, tensions are created, leaving the guys plotting on how to get her out of the house. Soon its an all out war leaving no holds barred.

This was a laugh out loud kind of funny. It stars Patrick Renna who you probably remember as the funny looking kid in The Sandlot (1993) and most recently in Fear Inc. (2016). He does deadpan sarcasm well. The other actors do an amazing job as well. The film does show you how every man's dream living arrangement could become a nightmare.
