DVD Movie Reviews

It’s a battle of TV’s finest babes here as Friday Night Lights’ Minka Kelly and Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester go head-to-head in The Roommate. The two share a dorm at the University of Los Angeles. Sara (Kelly) embarks on her university life harnessing a broken heart but she’s got her sights set on a bright future (as you’d expect at such a young age). Meanwhile, Rebecca (Meester) – aka spoilt little rich girl with a hidden penchant for stalking – is on-hand to help Sara through her troubled times. Unsurprisingly, once Sara’s suspicious are tweaked that Rebecca might be hiding a darker side, she’s in a world of trouble (umm… we can’t help but question why Sara doesn’t think their pet kitty going missing from the dorm wasn’t strange). The Roommate thrives in its intent to chill us to the core and might just make you think twice about that slightly possessive friend of yours.
