Why so much hype?
Not even bad in a good way
Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
View MorePoor writing and very bad plot created a stew of disaster. Patrick Renna's character was a highly insecure jerk who thought way too highly of himself. His best friend, played by Tommy Savas was clam and collected. Them together was odd, on one hand you have a guy that desperately needs to see a doctor for his irrational behavior and someone who seemed pretty awesome. I don't see that in real life. normally you can only take so much of someones BS. At one point you think you know whats going on and at the other end your confused. The lady who didn't do anything wrong was being belittled and torn apart because someone didn't know how to handle his emotions. I gave it a two because she seemed to be able to handle her own. overall I would watch it again if I was needing to torture someone.
View MoreIf you're looking for a light-hearted fun comedy that you won't have to think too much about, this is not it. It's not Neighbors or an Adam Sandler film or something like that. It's more of a clever dark comedy. The film makers wanted to make more than just a mindless film, and I really appreciate the attempt.Now each scene separate to me is actually well written and well acted, and if I had seen them like that instead of as one continuous film, I would have laughed my butt off and been pretty entertained. But that's the thing. The movie feels like the writers wrote each scene separate and then strung them all together without much thought to how the pieces fit, leaving a lot of things (like the way the characters acted, the random things that happened, etc.) very inconsistent and sacrificing a potentially solid story. And by the end, I'm left thinking, "Oh this could have been so awesome man!" But nope :/.Aside from how the scenes are put together, there are things about the premise of the film really don't make sense, like how the roommates own the beautiful house without either of them seeming like they earn enough $$ (and I think this film would've worked even better if it was in a normal apartment), how they are even best friends (the crazy psycho paranoiac entitled brat guy vs the normal nice chill guy - to me, in the real world, the only way that would work is if the nice guy had amnesia every minute or felt sorry for the guy and was friends with him out of pity, neither of which the film puts him out to be), why the girl attempted to seduce both of them when she clearly just liked one of them, etc.And then there's the twisted moral code of the film that makes it seem like the girl roommate (Chloe) was actually in the wrong when she didn't really do anything wrong, and that what the guys were doing back at her was totally fine in this harmless game of playing fire with fire when really, it was incredibly childish and pretty sick sh*t.All in all, this film had such awesome potential but wasn't given enough time to reach that potential, so yeah. I wish it did. It's not a good clever comedy nor is it a fun mindless film, which makes it kind of pointless to watch. But anyways, it's not horrible, and I think everybody deserves some credit, and I don't think you'd regret it too much if you watched it, and I'm actually looking forward to seeing all the people involved grow to make better films.
View MoreBad Roomies is the most unexpectedly hilarious comedy I've seen! I was expecting an easy comedy just for smiling and the occasional laugh, specially from what seemed like a low budget indie movie, however, it turned out to have some great breakthrough performances from Tommy Savas and Annie Monroe who were unknown to me. I kept laughing out loud throughout the whole movie! It really makes use of intelligent comedy of situation, through some brilliantly placed comic interruptions. One moment in specific reminded me of Family Guy's exaggerated fights. What is impressive is that this was Jason Schnell's first feature film! Great job with the direction and script-writing. I specially liked the seldom switch to a more emotional side of each character, letting the characters develop a bit more in an attempt to establishing some empathy from the viewers, which is rare in outrageous comedies like this one. I recommend this one to anyone that wants to have a laugh!
View MoreUnless you just want to give away an hour or however long this movie is of your life, don't watch it. I'm just being honest. I wasted part of my life that I can't get back, please don't do the same. Well now I will go into a little more detail because i have to fill ten lines. The movie does start semi alright, there are some hot chicks maybe one boob scene, only one. the plot of the movie also starts solid with the mission of finding roommate, a hot chick interviews and of course they pick her. one of the dudes has a hot girlfriend already somehow and she gets upset. it is just a stupid predictable comedy/romance kind-of movie. i would say the movie got worse as it went on. i noticed myself paying less and less attention after about an hour into the movie. that is when i thought i must write a review and warn other people, i wanted to do my good deed and thought this would be a perfect one. I hope you listen to me.
