The Roommate

The Roommate

Hollywood has taken the deceiving, annoying, and psychotic roommate trend and used it in various cinematic classics.

This breed of weirdo roommates isn’t confined to the murderous type- it has also included stoners, narcissists, and drunks. Here is a list of the worst roommates in films.

- Shaun of the Dead

Nick Frost plays a video game addicted weed dealer. He lives on the couch, mooches off his friends and manages to become a zombie. Not quite an ideal roommate.


 
- In Her Shoes

Cameron Diaz plays a real stretch of a role- the flirty, beautiful young woman. What makes her a bad roommate?

She gets drunk, has sex with her sister’s boyfriend, and ruins her sister’s shoes. Nobody messes with a girls shoes.


 
- The Break-Up
 
Individually, these two wouldn’t be that hard to live with. But imagine living with you ex and having to painfully see them every day and accept their flaws when you’re NOT with them? 


 
- Dead Man On Campus

When two roommates are in danger of failing school, they find out that if a roommate commits suicide, his/her roommates receive perfect grades for the semester.

Their mission is to find a suicidal student and drive them over the edge. Anyone that tries to.

- Rules Of Attraction

Jessica Biel’s character snorts cocaine, has sex with an entire football team, and also finds time to have sex with her roommates love interest. Talk about a classy character.


 
- Single White Female
 
Jennifer Jason Leigh plays the epitome of an absolutely psychotic roommate.

After transforming herself physically to look like a clone of Bridget Fonda’s character, she goes as far as to kill trick Fonda’s boyfriend into sleeping with her. Her obsession with her roommate becomes deadly.


 
If you happen to have a roommate that shares any of the qualities with the above characters, you should pack up your things and leave immediately.
