Carrie Remington seems like any other struggling waitress who's had a run of bad luck including a recent divorce. Things seem to be improving when she moves in with Ashley Dunnfield, a young woman from a wealthy background who's trying to make it on her own without assistance from her father, Richard. Ashley is thrilled when Carrie helps to win her father over, but when Carrie starts dating Richard, Ashley starts digging into her past and finds out that there is much she didn't know about her new roommate's sinister history.

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Kittycat63 My god, what to say about this movie? It's one of those made for TV movies you come across one afternoon when you're a bit bored and channel surfing and decide to watch to see if it's any good, then when you realise how cheesy and lame the 'storyline' (if you can call it that) is, and how terrible some of the acting is (BOTI BLISS please step forward!!) you can't stop watching it because it's so bad it's entertaining for that reason alone! I won't go into details about what this movie's about (read some of the other reviews for that!) but it really is very lame and, as other reviewers have commented, Boti Bliss is one of the main reasons it's so bad. With her dark 'pixie' haircut she looked like an Audrey Hepburn wannabe, but failed miserably. She isn't 'femme fatale' or sexy enough to have played that role - she looked more like a bug eyed middle- class suburban housewife with a husband who has an incredibly boring but well paid job. Also, her acting in general was awful and she just wasn't believable in that role. To be expected to believe that William Moses's character would fall head over heels for someone like her was ridiculous. William Moses seems to have become the Susan Lucci of TV movies and he's not a bad actor so I wish he wouldn't lower himself to be part of crappy movies like this! He can do much better.Also, I noticed a goof in this movie, which doesn't seem to be mentioned on here. When the daughter rushes from the restaurant towards the end of the movie, after asking her boyfriend to take over her shift because she has to go and warn her dad about what's going on, her hair is in a ponytail, yet at one point when the camera goes to her driving along in her car suddenly her hair is down and not in the ponytail anymore. Presumably, if her character was so frantic to get to her dad before anything bad happened to him she'd hardly have taken the time to change her hairstyle on the way there! Oh, as for the first review on here of this movie - as someone else has commented, that the reviewer (Coop Burtonburger?!) has given this movie a 10 star review is hilarious! Either that person was associated with the making of the movie or he's connected to someone who was part of the movie - and given that he gushed twice about one of the actresses (I think the actress who played William Moses's character's daughter) I think maybe it was her boyfriend or someone who's obsessed with her !! Of course, the other alternative is that that Coop Burtonburger has recently landed from Mars and this was the first movie he has ever seen and he was so awestruck that he thought it was incredible! Oh, or he could have been as high as a kite when he saw it and reviewed it. Those are the only possible reasons surely for giving a 10 star rating to a movie that should really have a zero star rating ! !
alysamulonee the movie started out very good. i thought this is going to be great. william moses is always great, and he was in this movie also. it starts out with the husband being arrested, but nothing more really heard about it. his wife then gets a job as a waitress, and starts here venture to hook up with one of the servers dad because he is rich. what gets me is carrie is anything but beautiful, but she sweeps mr dunfield off his feet. after carrie sleeping with her dad, and her finding out, she never kicks her out of her apt. why would you let someone stay when you know they did that? carrie also walks around in teenage clothing that is too small for her and looks ridiculous. the whole plot was predictable,and the acting besides ashley and mr dunfield was not the best. it seems like it is just dragged out way to long. you know within the first 10 minutes how everything is going to pan out. would never re watch it.
suze-4 I just got the W movie channel and this is what they showed tonight. The listings said Contact with Jodie Foster was on. Instead, they showed this derivative, hackneyed, poorly acted and amateurishly written made-for-TV movie. Someone is clearly asleep at the channel, but I gave it a chance. It does have a plot that seems to be leading up to a violent encounter a la Single White Female. There is tension - who is going to get hurt or killed? Everything that is going to happen is telegraphed and obvious. I won't put any spoilers here, but it was watchable purely because of the hilariously bad (like a high school play) acting and the unbelievably overdone plot - haven't we seen a story like this about 1,000 times only without the plot fizzling out? PS I found out the name of it by typing in the keyword "roommate" in IMDb.
Sean Kaye 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.
