Memorable, crazy movie

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

In this unintentionally amusing turkey, a female crime team plots to have one of them marry and bump off a wealthy widower. The widower's daughter Ashley, her boyfriend Matt, and his brother double as super-sleuths who solve a mystery that the police and DA's mistakenly pin on Carrie's ex-husband. Carrie's partner-in-crime Anna takes out widower Richard's ex-girlfriend just in case she figures out what's going on. Somehow it all comes together in the end. Ashley and the boys missed their calling. They should've been detectives.Oh, and for a movie taking place in Philadelphia there are lots of Canadian accents. If you need some amusement, you can do worse.

the movie started out very good. i thought this is going to be great. william moses is always great, and he was in this movie also. it starts out with the husband being arrested, but nothing more really heard about it. his wife then gets a job as a waitress, and starts here venture to hook up with one of the servers dad because he is rich. what gets me is carrie is anything but beautiful, but she sweeps mr dunfield off his feet. after carrie sleeping with her dad, and her finding out, she never kicks her out of her apt. why would you let someone stay when you know they did that? carrie also walks around in teenage clothing that is too small for her and looks ridiculous. the whole plot was predictable,and the acting besides ashley and mr dunfield was not the best. it seems like it is just dragged out way to long. you know within the first 10 minutes how everything is going to pan out. would never re watch it.

I just got the W movie channel and this is what they showed tonight. The listings said Contact with Jodie Foster was on. Instead, they showed this derivative, hackneyed, poorly acted and amateurishly written made-for-TV movie. Someone is clearly asleep at the channel, but I gave it a chance. It does have a plot that seems to be leading up to a violent encounter a la Single White Female. There is tension - who is going to get hurt or killed? Everything that is going to happen is telegraphed and obvious. I won't put any spoilers here, but it was watchable purely because of the hilariously bad (like a high school play) acting and the unbelievably overdone plot - haven't we seen a story like this about 1,000 times only without the plot fizzling out? PS I found out the name of it by typing in the keyword "roommate" in IMDb.

The Perfect Roommate is a typical cheap and cheesy "made for Canadian Pay TV movie" like the several new movies each month that pollute The Movie Network" and exist for the sole reason than to help the network fulfill the mandatory, but unfortunately mostly pathetic, Canadian content required so they can keep their broadcast license.What separates this movie from other similar awful "Made for Canadian Pay TV" crap fests is that level of atrociousness in this one reaches such a new low (or height?) that I could not stop watching it, the same way you can't take your eyes off a car crash. The most ridiculous and unintentionally hilarious parts all relate to Boti Bliss in the main role. Firstly, the character is suppose to be this irresistible vixen, aka the "most beautiful woman I have ever seen" says naive billionaire and all around female connoisseur William R Moses. While Mrs. Bliss is not entirely repulsive, per say, she is way too freaky looking (bug-eyed, weird head and hair, bad plastic surgery everywhere and shockingly wide derrière which she tries to wide with bad teenage girl type loose clothes)to play that role. And then there is her acting. It is priceless in the worst, but most hilarious, way. Her robotic bad acting is classic and will make the day of any lover of "so bad its good" type movies and acting. She alone was the reason I was glued to the screen the whole time and its gets worse (or better?) as the movie progresses.I gave it 2 instead of 1, for the reasonable (with that awful script) acting job done by the veteran of this type of movies that is Mr. Moses and by the quite decent young actress who plays his daughter. Those 2 actors should get nominated for Genies if only for demonstrating the ability to keep a straight face while delivering their lines in their scenes opposite the mess that is Boti Bliss in this movie.
