When a hopeful, naive college freshman, Devon, asks the cool and confident Celeste to be her roommate, a blossoming friendship spirals into a war of passive aggression.

Critics Consensus

A messy but affecting college comedy, Roommates swaps big laughs for emotional sincerity, elevated by strong performances even as its uncertain tone keeps it from fully coming together.

C+

The film won’t be remembered as a campus classic, or even in the upper half of college movies, but it’s also not hard to see a world where somebody watches it at exactly the right time in their lives and proceeds to cherish it forever.

Questioning the moral fortitude of these comedies used to be something only critics did [...] Now 'Roommates' is getting in on the act and I respect the film’s sense of introspection. I just wish it had funnier jokes.

B-

[While the] framing device is purposefully heighted, Sandler and East are fantastic at bringing a level of emotional realism to Devon and Celeste’s complicated bond, which is two parts Girls, one part Single White Female.

[Roommates] is [Levack's] most wide-ranging and tonally controlled film so far.

One of the twists in "Roommates" lies in a side love story that builds from the first episode and steals the show by the last episode. That’s the familial bond between brother and sister.

I really enjoyed this movie. It told a funny yet crazy story of two outcasts in their own respective ways. I thought Sadie Sandlers performance was great. The writing felt was good. The storytelling was on point. And even though it's not the ending I was expecting it was a good ending. It was a nice enjoyable college movie. I would recommend.

No idea what this was about, and, not particularly an Adam Sandler fan. However! We liked this movie. Sadie is a great actress and funny. It was mostly original, edgy and funny. Most movies fail in this category. I give it 4 star out of 4 stars as 5 are reserved for truly epic films.

I honestly loved this movie, as someone who has always been a floter friend and strugels to set boudries it captured all the feelings and emotion. Along with this is was sooo funny and witty and it was just overall such a fun girly movie. Would defff recomend for a girls night. Would I watch it again... maybe but I would really have to be in the mood or have completly forgotten the plot. Any who it was fantasitic I loved it!

I just watched Roommate and honestly it surprised me. At first it looked like a normal college friendship movie, but the tension kept growing little by little. The acting made everything feel real and uncomfortable in a good way. What I liked most is how the movie shows that not everyone who smiles at you has good intentions. Some scenes were creepy, emotional, and unforgettable. It’s not the scariest movie ever, but it keeps you interested from beginning to end. Definitely worth watching if you enjoy psychological thrillers with drama and suspense.
