When a hopeful, naive college freshman, Devon, asks the cool and confident Celeste to be her roommate, a blossoming friendship spirals into a war of passive aggression.

Questioning the moral fortitude of these comedies used to be something only critics did [...] Now 'Roommates' is getting in on the act and I respect the film’s sense of introspection. I just wish it had funnier jokes.

[While the] framing device is purposefully heighted, Sandler and East are fantastic at bringing a level of emotional realism to Devon and Celeste’s complicated bond, which is two parts Girls, one part Single White Female.

Roommates might not rival the fizzy, formative teen films it both references (Clueless) and often directly cribs from (Mean Girls) but it still belongs in a different league to what we’re mostly served right now.

A film that mistakes passive aggressiveness for character development, confuses chaos and comedy, Roommates is unhinged, and not for any particular narrative reward.

Roommates is a charming, if imperfect, college comedy. The absurd nature of the final act really helps sell the overall experience, but clocking in at an hour and forty-five minutes does test the audience.

There’s a lot of rich kid stuff in this movie, which I also found hard to relate to, although I do think clashing with your college roommate is a pretty universal experience (if you didn’t good for you!!)

Was funny and silly. An entertaining movie with quite a few laugh out louds. Great cast, the cameos were great. Sometimes you just need just a fun movie and not an Oscar winner serious flick.

This was the worst piece of trash I’ve ever seen. Would like the last 2 hours of my life back. Sandler puts out absolute trash these days. Pathetic and disappointing I will never watch another Happy Madison again

In a genre crowded with disposable comedies that chase jokes and forget substance, this film has it all.
