Roommates

A charming yet irresponsible man, Rocky, inherits a house from his estranged father. He plans to sell it but is confronted by his father's will, which stipulates he must live in the house for a year and take care of his younger sister, Beth. Rocky struggles to adjust to this responsibility, clashing with Beth and her friends, while also dealing with his own arrested development.

Roommates received largely negative reviews from critics, who found its humor forced and its plot predictable. Audiences were similarly unimpressed, leading to a poor box office performance.

• The film suffers from a weak and uninspired script.
• The performances, while featuring some recognizable names, are unable to elevate the material.
• Humor is often slapstick and misses the mark, while the dramatic elements feel unearned.

Google audience: Audience reviews are scarce, but those available suggest a general disappointment with the film's unfunny jokes and lack of engaging narrative.

The film was originally intended to be a vehicle for actor Rob Schneider before Peter Gallagher took over the lead role.
