The Perfect Roommate

The Perfect Roommate is a typical cheap and cheesy "made for Canadian Pay TV movie" like the several new movies each month that pollute The Movie Network" and exist for the sole reason than to help the network fulfill the mandatory, but unfortunately mostly pathetic, Canadian content required so they can keep their broadcast license.

What separates this movie from other similar awful "Made for Canadian Pay TV" crap fests is that level of atrociousness in this one reaches such a new low (or height?) that I could not stop watching it, the same way you can't take your eyes off a car crash. The most ridiculous and unintentionally hilarious parts all relate to Boti Bliss in the main role. Firstly, the character is suppose to be this irresistible vixen, aka the "most beautiful woman I have ever seen" says naive billionaire and all around female connoisseur William R Moses. While Mrs. Bliss is not entirely repulsive, per say, she is way too freaky looking (bug-eyed, weird head and hair, bad plastic surgery everywhere and shockingly wide derrière which she tries to wide with bad teenage girl type loose clothes)to play that role.

And then there is her acting. It is priceless in the worst, but most hilarious, way. Her robotic bad acting is classic and will make the day of any lover of "so bad its good" type movies and acting. She alone was the reason I was glued to the screen the whole time and its gets worse (or better?) as the movie progresses.

I gave it 2 instead of 1, for the reasonable (with that awful script) acting job done by the veteran of this type of movies that is Mr. Moses and by the quite decent young actress who plays his daughter. Those 2 actors should get nominated for Genies if only for demonstrating the ability to keep a straight face while delivering their lines in their scenes opposite the mess that is Boti Bliss in this movie.

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.

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!

The villain is so poorly acted that it was all I could do to not only finish the movie, but not cringe or laugh. This movie was so dull and the ending happened so quickly with no suspense that I couldn't believe it when my tv showed there was less than 10 minutes left.

I didn't recognize BB with this hair, but seeing photos on IMDb, I do recognize her from CSI. She had so many terrible scenes. The "climax," if you can call it that where she had her villainous breakdown was more awkward than scary and she droned on so long, all Ashley had to do was throat punch her or something. I half expected the old gas attendant to come back and take her out.

It was just bad. As a positive, it wasn't slow, but so much of the movie was absurd. The dad who was skeptical of his daughter's older roommate...sleeps with her and goes head first into a fling after a couple of days. Not to mention not getting how that might strain his already fragile relationship with his daughter. He was just too naive to be believed.

The happily ever after ending was kind of ironic. Ashley was all about not taking money from her dad and in the span of two minutes, she takes gifts and her boyfriend takes jobs.

It's a super boring movie and only worth it for background noise. My dvr recorded the opening scene of The Wrong Tutor and that couple of minutes was more intriguing and suspenseful than this entire flick. The actress who played Ashley was in a movie with Jon Cor and Adrienne Barber (as the villain) and BB could take some lessons from Adrienne on how to play a similar role.

Totally fun thriller and as always, Boti Bliss is a blast to watch!
