Perfect cast and a good story

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I thought this movie was the best ever. Really great acting, especially Ashley Leggat, who did the best acting ever. I love this movie so much! It's the best horror/thriller film ever. I've never seen anything like it, because it's the best ever. I thought this movie was very interesting, and I couldn't stop watching it. When it was on, I was automatically glued to the couch, and was eating popcorn, and was very impressed with the movie. Best movie ever! I hope they make another movie similar with the actress, Ashley Leggat in it. She's a really great actress. They all are great actors/actresses. Perfect characters for their roles. I give this movie a 10/10!

Lighten up, fellow reviewers! I just watched "The Perfect Roommate" and I loved it. All right, Boti Bliss has a name that sounds more like a Buddhist blessing than a human being, she's not exactly drop-dead gorgeous and Barbara Stanwyck was playing this sort of role much better before Ms. Bliss's mother was born, but her half-gamine, half-gnome appearance is just right for the role and she's actually doing a quite capable Psycho 101. Christine Conradt's script is her usual engaging melodrama complete with some pretty big plot holes (like — and here's why I marked the "spoiler" button — at the end when, instead of phoning her boyfriend, her boyfriend's ex-cop brother or the police, Ashley tries to reach her dad at the New Jersey hotel where he's shacking up with the villainess and it never seems to occur to her that she might be intercepting the calls) but still tense and action-packed, and some of the supporting characters, notably Carrie's confederate Anne (a nice hard-boiled performance by Cinthia Burke) and Matt's brother Ethan (I'd like to know who this guy is, since IMDb erroneously credits the performance to a woman, Christie Watson — unless we're supposed to believe that's some uncommonly good FTM drag), add strength and power to the piece. I've come to love Conradt's work precisely because it's so over-the-top (though at least she resists the temptation of some other Lifetime writers and doesn't have what looks like half the U.S. Armed Forces come to the rescue of the heroine at the end) and I had a lot of fun with this good neo-noir TV movie.

Eleven months after her ex-husband is thrown in jail for murder, 35-year-old Boti Bliss (as Carrie Remington) gets a job as a waitress. She works with naive young college student Ashley Leggat (as Ashley "Ash" Dunnfield). Ms. Bliss makes up a story which gets her invited to be Ms. Leggat's roommate. Bliss is really interested in seducing Leggat's 50-year-old father William R. Moses (as Richard Dunnfield), a super-rich widower. He doesn't like Leggat's bartender boyfriend Jon McLaren (as Matt Wilson). Bliss uses stolen information, homicidal Cinthia Burke (as Anne), and her cleavage to get close to Moses. Leggat begins to suspect her roommate is a liar. Sometimes it's better to live alone...**** The Perfect Roommate (7/21/11) Curtis Crawford ~ Boti Bliss, Ashley Leggat, William R. Moses, Jon McLaren

***SPOILERS*** Both complicated as well as ridicules murder for profit flick with the perpetrators as clueless and outrageous as the murder plot they concocted. There's so many sub-plots and characters in the film that you get lost almost as soon as it begins. That's with Marty Remington,Peter Dillion,getting arrested for the murder of a hooker he was seen with the night before. We never realize what exactly Marty has to do in the movie until it's more then half over which by then we've long, in his two or so minutes in the beginning of the film, forgotten all about him!In the film the scheming and treacherous Carrie Remington, Boti Bliss, gets friendly with pretty but a bit stuck up Ashley Donnfield, Ashley Leggat, in first becoming her roommate and then getting to know Ashley's pop big time Philadelphia real estate magnet Richard Dunnfield, William R. Moses. Together with her parter in crime the just out on bail Anne Prieto, Cinthia Burke, Carrie plans to take the what seems like totally clueless, in what he's being set up for, Richard for a ride in getting their hands, by Carrie marrying and then dumping him, on his billions. In order to take care of a few loose ends Anne in giving her a ride in her cab to the airport knocks off Richard's ex Paula Wickless, Teresa Donovan, who got wind of her and Carrie's plan for her former husband Richard. As for Ashley she soon realizes what her friend and roommate Carrie Remington is really up to but is helpless to stop it in Carrie keeping her away from daddy,Richard Donnfield, by first getting him drunk and then disconnecting his both cell and hotel phone at the place, the bridal suite, the two are staying in far off Cape May New Jersey. The only thing that can save this turkey the ending is so dull and unexciting that you for a moment feel that the villain in the movie Carrie Remington or actress Boti Bliss realized just how idiotic her role was that she just gave up in order not to embarrass herself any more then she already did. As for Anne Prieto she seems to have just walked off the set since after murdering poor Paula Wickless and dumping her body on the side of highway,where it was later found by a homeless man, we never saw or heard of her again. Where also enlightened in just what Marty Remington has to do here in the movie! Which is getting himself arrested and sent up the river for a murder that both his wife at the time Carrie and Anne Prieto committed and framed him for. the most fascinating and interesting thing in the film was actor William R.Moses as the clueless and and somewhat brain damaged Richard Donnfield. I started to wonder if Moses' acting was affected by his role as private investigator Ken Malansky in the Perry Mason made for TV movie series that he was in. Being known back then as the human punching bag in all the punishment the took could it have damaged his brain so severely that it caused him to be the lame and feathered brained Richard Donnfield that he ended up being here in the made for TV movie " The Prefect Roommate"!
