The film's sure-to-be-brief theatrical release is a mere stopover on the way to basic-cable eternity.

Managing nary a single original idea throughout its 93-minute running time, the film does benefit from a cast of sexy young TV stars who should attract the desired female teen demographic.

Variety
Formulaic and forgettable.

The Roommate proves that the one thing worse than a crazy, stalker roommate is one that's boring, predictable and no fun.

If ever a thriller were to inspire a collective "eh," it's got to be The Roommate. It's not a good movie, by any means, but it's also not bad enough to have fun hating on.
