Send Help (2026) Film Review

An overworked analyst and her arrogant nepo-baby boss survive a plane crash near Thailand and must cooperate to survive on a remote jungle island while their workplace power dynamic collapses around them.

Send Help is directed by Sam Rami director of Evil Dead (1981), Evil Dead II (1987), Army Of Darkness (1992), Spider-Man and its two sequels (2002-2007), Drag Me To Hell (2009), Oz the Great and Powerful (2013), Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) and a few others. 

After a few franchise films, Sam Rami returns with an original film that brings him back to his roots and what he’s best at. Send Help is everything you can really ask for from a Sam Rami horror project. Excellent act, the perfect blend of horror and comedy and creative writing that puts a spotlight on several different themes that all mesh well together. 

The performances from Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien are some of 2026’s best so far. Rachel McAdams goes from being calm and collected to insanity in a snap, it’s an unhinged performance that perfectly captures the atmosphere Rami creates with this film. There’s almost this strategic element in McAdams’s performance that the viewer slowly but surely starts to dive into as the film goes on, McAdams has always been a fantastic actress, but here she really kicks it up a notch. From the moment her character Linda Liddle is introduced you immediately get into her character, we as the viewer slowly watch her slowly change over the course of the film and it’s just a huge blast to see. 

Dylan O’Brien is also quite fantastic as well, he plays a complete and total asshole and does quite a great job at doing so. The scenes of him trying to stand against an unhinged Rachel McAdams is some of his best moments, the fear in his eyes and the suspense is the perfect combination. The best however is the dynamic between the two, they work effortlessly together, whether it’s the film’s opening moments of O’Brien’s character Bradley Preston being a complete and total asshole to Linda, or when Linda has Bradley at a brutal point where he has no choice but to listen to her. Everything about McAdams and O’Brien working together in the film just makes a lot of sense. 

The writing is quite clever, it ties in themes like generated power dynamics, hierarchy, nepotism and toxic workplace politics in both a humorous and serious way. The film is not saying anything particularly new about these topics, however the way the film manages to tie in these topics into the story (you slowly start to see them come into play as the film goes on) is very interesting and what makes the writing so investing. 

As I said before Sam Rami returns to his roots and that means we get some fantastic gore, some well done shots (with the help of cinematographer Bill Pope) and creatively built atmosphere. What makes Rami such a compelling and fascinating director is the atmosphere he builds for his films and that’s no exception here. McAdams and O’Brien are quite easily able to capture the atmosphere the film requires, it’s feel of a film that balances its humor and horror perfectly. The film is able to both make the viewer cackle at a simple joke and make you feel somewhat disturbed by some of the gore. It’s the perfect blend that really hits the ball out of the park. 

Overall Send Help is a fantastic film, In a year that has been excellent for horror so far. This is definitely one of the best of the pack. 

Send Help is available on all VOD platforms.

Tribeca Review: In Memoriam (2026)

A terminally ill actor becomes obsessed with being featured in the Oscars’ “In Memoriam” segment, exploring ego, humility, and legacy.

In Memoriam is directed by Rob Burnett director of We Made This Movie (2012) and The Fundamentals Of Caregiving (2016). 

In Memoriam perhaps has one of the most unique premises I’ve heard of so far this year. The whole idea here is an aging actor is faced with terminal cancer but then wants to make it on the In Memoriam section of the Oscars ceremony, it’s a very eye catching idea that works quite well. While there are a few hiccups along the road, the film does a great job of executing its ideas and helps build its characters around it. 

Marc Maron gives one of the best performances of his career, he’s able to balance the film’s dramatic and comedic moments expertly which leads to some genuinely hilarious and impactful dialogue exchanges. He plays off the supporting cast incredibly well, his most hilarious moments come in when he’s on screen with Michael McKean and his best dramatic moments come in when he’s on screen with Talia Ryder. 

Speaking of which, Talia Ryder continues to show that she is incredibly underrated. The little moments of Maura (played by Talia Ryder) wanting her father Langston (played by Marc Maron) to teach her about acting have this raw atmosphere to them that you really can’t help but love. The father and daughter bond the two display throughout the film is the heart of it all, it leads to an admittedly predictable yet beautiful ending that will absolutely make you shed a tear or two. 

The rest of the cast is great, as mentioned earlier Michael McKean is quite hilarious. Megalyn Echikunwoke makes for a fun addition during the film’s second half and Lily Gladstone although not having a large presence in the film, still goes all out with her performance. The dialogue exchanges between her and Maron are some of the film’s highlights. 

As far as writing goes In Memoriam is quite strong, it goes for this dramady type of feel that really works. It’s definitely understandable if some moments could feel like a whiplash for some viewers, but luckily the film does a great job of mostly preventing that by having plenty of down to earth serious moments yet strangely funny. The theme of the time someone has left when faced with a situation like cancer is truly well done and has this sense of care that’s put into it. 

The film is admittedly very predictable especially during the second half as it does have a ton of genre cliches. However I don’t think that ruins the movie, the performances, the beautiful moments and the premise itself keep this one afloat. It’s the type of film that you root for due to it just being so charming and in the end the film reaches that finish line. 

Overall In Memoriam is a very charming and caring film that has some great performances and is quite hilarious. At times it can feel familiar but one thing is for sure that the film will leave you with a great impression.

In Memoriam currently has no release date.

Scary Movie (2026)

Cindy and her friends as they are forced to reunite when the original masked killer returns 26 years later.

Scary Movie or Scary Movie 6 (2026) is directed by Michael Tiddes director of A Haunted House (2013), A Haunted House (2014), Fifty Shades Of Black (2016), Naked (2017), Sextuplets (2019)and Half Baked: Totally High (2024). The film is the sixth installment in the Scary Movie series. It’s a spiritual sequel the first two films. 

The Scary Movie series were without a doubt the most popular set of films that came from the parody movie era of the 2000s and the early 2010s. The first two films I still think are fun comedies that really nail down the whole idea of parody, there is still quite a bit of charm there that works well. The third and fourth movies have their moments, not everything works with the two but you do get some quite memorable moments. The fifth movie is quite horrendous and came out at a time when the parody genre was reaching its fall off. 

Scary Movie is luckily FAR better than Scary Movie 5 (2013). Although that is not exactly saying much and I can’t necessarily say that this is a good movie, when it comes to a parody movie not being as bad as ones like Scary Movie 5 (2013), Disaster Movie (2008), Epic Movie (2007) and a few others that is absolutely considered a win. 

First and foremost Anna Faris and Regina Hall once again do a really great job as Cindy Campbell and Brenda Meeks respectively. They both still have the comedic timing that they pull off incredibly well even with the movie’s more lame jokes, it’s great seeing the two together again and really showcases that without the two, the Scary Movie series just does not work nearly as well. Other characters that return are Doofy (played by Dave Sheridan), Shorty (played by Marlon Waynes) Ray (played by Shawn Waynes), Greg Phillippe (played by Lochlyn Munro) and Bobby Prinze (played by Jon Abrahams (although the latter two have very small roles.) The cast works well together and have the same level of charm they had in previous entries of the series. 

The introduction of the new characters is very mixed, their inclusion makes a lot of sense. After all the main story the movie is parodying is Scream 5 & 6, a majority of them however do feel underutilized. Credit where credit is due I do think the movie’s ending is a nice spin on the whole new characters in horror franchises sort of thing. 

As far as cameos go, I do think the movie does a pretty great job. There is shockingly not a whole lot of them and the ones that do appear got laughs out of me, definitely a breath of fresh air when you compare this to other parody movies that focused more on shoving as many cameos as possible. 

The first half of the movie is definitely the strongest, the movie comes out swinging with a quite strong and clever intro scene that while does capture the familiarity feel of these movies. It also has this nostalgic welcome back feel that you can’t help but appreciate, what follows is a steady string of good bits that you can tell the cast was having a blast with. While not every single one of these jokes lands as you do have a few that feel either forced, overly explained or stretched for way too long, for the most part the first half of the movie manages to stick the landing. 

Unfortunately that’s when things go downhill, the second half of the movie really reflects as to why the parody movie genre died. Most of the jokes in the second half feel like they are stretched for way too long, the movie does not let its own jokes breathe, when you combine that with shockingly slow pacing (how is this even an issue?) and you have yourself a very rough second half to get through. It’s frustrating because there are some decently clever set ups for jokes, but unfortunately the delivery and timing is incredibly messy. 

The movie also very clearly has a lot of scenes missing, there were points where it felt like this very messy project that was due the night before. There is a whole lot of jumping around from parody to parody that almost felt reminiscent of Family Guy cutaway gags. While a few of these jokes offer some great laughs, others feel like a complete waste of the movie’s time. 

Overall Scary Movie is really about what you expect, I think the main problem here with this one is it does not go far enough with its humor and does not do a whole lot to stand out. It ultimately does feel like just another parody movie that has a few memorable scenes attached to it. As I said before, this is far better than Scary Movie 5 (2013) and if you are a fan of these movies you will get some entertainment out of it. Just don’t go in expecting this to be up there with the earlier installments. 

Scary Movie is currently in theaters.

Forbidden Fruits (2026) Film Review

At a mall store, Apple leads a secret witch cult with coworkers Cherry and Fig. New hire Pumpkin questions their sisterhood, forcing them to confront inner darkness or meet violent ends.

Forbidden Fruits is directed by Meredith Alloway which is her directorial debut. 

Forbidden Fruits is one of the biggest surprises so far this year, what could have easily been another The Craft (1996) meets Mean Girls (2004) type of deal. Ends up going the extra mile and manages to be cleverly written and quite a whole lot of fun as well. Especially when you combine that with some really strong performances that truly make the film its identity. 

The film’s firepower comes from its performances, you would be forgiven if you went into the film thinking that the performances are not going to be anything special. However that’s not the case here because everyone here is giving it their all which really helps the film in the long run. 

For starters we have Lili Reinhart who plays Apple the leader of the trio, Reinhart gives such a fantastic performance here that it becomes crazy on how good she is. She nails the film’s campy, comedic and dramatic moments that all add up to such an investing performance. Reinhart also has the charisma to back herself up, you can feel that she fits like a glove for a film like Forbidden Fruits. Her conversations with the rest of the cast feel natural and the body language she uses here are both hilarious and kind of intimidating at times. Reinhart gives one of the best performances so far this year, without her I don’t think the film would have worked nearly as well. 

Victoria Pedretti is also quite fantastic here as well, she plays Cherry who is far more on the comedic side of things than Apple. But still manages to stand out quite well and that’s all due to Pedretti’s delivery, she really leans into the film’s more campy and comedic moments but manages to bring them to the viewer in a way that’s both fun and charming. These moments don’t feel forced or lame, it’s part of who Cherry is as a character and it truly works in the film’s favor. 

Lola Tung who plays Pumpkin and Alexandra Shipp who plays Fig are also great here as well, Tung is able to anchor the whole campy horror comedy element with this nuanced intriguing take of a performance. We get to see her explore the world around her as she goes from a mall worker to being a coven of witches. Finally Alexandra Shipp gives this stylish and magnetic energy that really boosts her performance, she might not get a whole lot of character moments. But that is made up by easily connecting with the rest of the cast. 

The writing is surprisingly cleverly written, there’s a lot of character moments particularly for Apple and Pumpkin that really bring this story together. There are elements of The Craft and Mean Girls but they are not the front and center, the film is more focused on giving the viewer a new experience while also putting elements of the previously two mentioned films in the mix. Especially during the film’s third act where things get very wild really quickly. 

The overall atmosphere is just what this film needed, it’s chaotic and mixes well with the location which is CF Sherway Garden which is a mall in Canada. The atmosphere and location combined together really paint this fun and investing picture that you can’t help but want to explore even when all of the chaos is going on. 

Overall Forbidden Fruits is a whole lot of fun from beginning to end, thematically there might not be a whole lot going on here. But the film makes up for it by not taking itself too seriously while also focusing on being a genuinely excellent film. 

Forbidden Fruits is available on all VOD platforms.

Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come (2026)

After surviving one deadly game, Grace and her sister Faith must now outrun four rival families competing for a powerful throne – winner takes all.

Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come is directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillet directors of Devil’s Due (2014), Ready Or Not (2019), Scream (2021) Scream VI (2023) and Abigail (2024). The film serves as a sequel to Ready Or Not (2019).

Ready Or Not (2019) is a modern classic at this point, whenever someone brings up the conversation about their favorite horror films from the 2010s. Ready Or Not (2019) is going to be mentioned at least 10 times and rightfully so, it was an incredibly fun film that was genuinely really good. Samara Weaving and the rest of the cast were fantastic, the film’s gore, atmosphere, direction and humor were all incredibly effective as well. Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come does everything a sequel should do and even makes the argument of being better than its predecessor. 

First and foremost the cast give fantastic performances across the board, Samara Weaving returns as Grace and she is just as great here as she was in the previous film. I would even argue with the film’s bigger scale, Weaving gives a much grander performance that ends up being quite effective. Weaving has only grown as an actress since the previous film and we really see that here in this film, it’s truly a wonderful sight to behold plus with the added bonus of learning a lot more about Grace as a character. 

Kathryn Newton as Faith (Grace’s sister) is such a strong addition to the story, Newton works incredibly well with Weaving and has this natural chemistry that you feel almost immediately when she enters the film. She balances the humor with the more dramatic moments, the sisterhood element is genuinely charming and actually does have a few heartfelt moments at times. Newton has this charm that fits like a glove here, whether it’s the natural chemistry with Weaving or the chaotic energy she brings at times. There’s so much she delivers constantly throughout the film. 

The rest of the cast are quite fantastic as well. Elijah Wood has a bunch of great moments here that are genuinely hilarious, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Shawn Hatosy are both really strong here especially the latter who delivers a quite brutal scene involving Kathryn Newton. Gellar and Hatosy work well together and have plenty of scene stealing moments. 

The writing is quite strong here, there can be the occasional hiccup when it comes to some character moments. However the film still delivers in all fronts, whereas the first one leaned more into the horror side. I definitely think this film leans more into the comedic side of things which quite honestly makes sense and fits the story being told. That’s not to say there aren’t any straight up horror moments because there are plenty of those and they are all quite effective. 

Some might see this as a bit of a rehash of the previous film which is fair to say, but I do think the film manages to bring just the right amount of new elements combined with a larger scale to differentiate itself. The gore is back and just as fun as it was in the previous film, we get a lot more action sequences as well that effectively use the larger scale which the film takes advantage of. 

Overall Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come is a ton of fun from beginning to end, there might not be anything huge thematically going on here. However between the performances, charm, writing and the large scale it’s next to impossible to come out of this movie thinking you didn’t have fun with it. 

Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come is available on all VOD platforms.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die (2026) Film Review

A man from the future takes hostages in a diner to find a team to help him fight a future AI apocalypse, leading to a chaotic, time-loop-adjacent adventure.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is directed by Gore Verbinski director of The Ring (2002), the first three films of the Pirates of the Caribbean (2003-2007) series, Rango (2011), The Lone Ranger (2013), A Cure For Wellness (2016) and a few others. 

Gore Verbinski is back with quite a very odd film that is perhaps even stranger than A Cure For Wellness (2016), Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is a film that pokes fun at the whole AI landscape that is currently going on, it’s a hilarious ride that does have it’s flaws but overall sticks the landing quite well. 

Sam Rockwell gives such a bizarre, hilarious yet charming performance that you can’t help but love in the end. His interactions with the rest of the cast is what really makes his character (who is simply known as man from the future) truly work especially when you combine the amount of fun that Rockwell is clearly having. Rockwell has excellent comedic timing that balances well with the film’s more dramatic moments, jokes that would otherwise not work entirely are elevated thanks to Rockwell’s timing. 

Juno Temple who plays Susan a woman who is grieving after her son is killed in a school shooting ends up allowing from him to be cloned into an AI deadbot is quite fantastic. While there is a bit of humor here and it’s very clearly satire, there is some genuinely touching moments we see and that’s thanks to Temple’s performance, she conveys pain and suffering as well as wanting to do anything to bring her son back. Pain and suffering can consume a person over time to the point where you are willing to do almost anything and that is displayed incredibly well here.

Haley Lu Richardson is quite fantastic as Ingrid, we gradually learn more about her as the film goes on and the character writing is quite strong here. We get to see her backstory plus her joy, happiness, sadness and disappointment which all combined together shape her into a quite interesting character that yearns for closeness, Richardson’s performance is touching and has this beautiful balance of humor and dramatic moments that really display Richardson’s talent as an actress. She is definitely the heart of the film and that is especially expressed during the film’s final act. 

The writing has this strong balance of humor and sci-fi bizarreness, there is one scene in particular during the film’s final act that does a pretty spectacular job of summing this film and its world up in a nutshell. The character writing isn’t perfect by any means, but it does have extra little details that the film could have easily skipped over, a lot of these characters could have easily been forgettable (some of them still are) but the film does give most of them some sort of backstory that helps fill the interest from the viewer. 

The design of the AI and the many robots that show up in the film are bizarre yet incredibly intriguing, very creative ideas that interact with the characters incredibly well. There is this genuine charm that really sticks to the viewer and keeps the design fresh in your mind as you explore this film’s bizarre world. 

The film does have its flaws, the ending definitely does feel like they ran out of time so they slapped something together very quickly. Plus I do think the film goes on for a bit too long, with that being said I do think the film is able to overcome its flaws quite easily due to the rest of the film being so creative and fun. 

Overall Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is an incredibly fun and creative film that is able to deliver some great performances. It’s definitely not going to be for everyone but I still do recommend giving this one a go! 

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is available on all VOD platforms.

Hoppers (2026) Film Review

A 19-year-old animal lover uses technology that places her consciousness into a robotic beaver to uncover mysteries within the animal world beyond her imagination.

Hoppers is directed by David Chong director of We Bare Bears: The Movie (2020). 

On the surface Hoppers may not seem like much, however once you get into the film there is a whole lot of heart as well as so much to love here. Between the animation immediately attracting the viewer’s eyes, to the well written characters that you instantly invest in and to the film’s familiar yet strong pro-environmental message. There is so much to really explore and appreciate here with Hoppers.

The voice cast all do a fantastic job and really bring out the character’s personalities. Our protagonist Mabel Tanaka especially, she has a heart of gold who much like her deceased grandmother had this beautiful appreciation for nature and animals. Piper Curda does such a fantastic job adding so much detail to Mabel Tanaka, she brings the right amount of comedy and dramatic moments to make Mabel memorable as a character. Jon Hamm does a solid job at voicing Jerry Generazzo a greedy neighbor, Dave Franco gives a hilarious supporting performance as Titus and Bobby Moynihan gives a surprisingly nuanced performance as King George the Mammal King. 

The animation is where Hoppers really shines, it’s the type of animation that instantly brings you into the film’s world. You feel like you are sitting on a park bench watching the animals interact with one another, or when Mabel transfers her mind into a lifelike robotic beaver you can feel the scale change. The world gets even bigger and the animation just seems to really keep pushing with the detail.

The writing is also quite strong, you can very easily tell the writers and the voice cast had a blast with this film. That’s all you really need sometimes to create something special, the film has some bizarre ideas that actually work in the film’s favor. But what it does deliver on the most is being able to communicate its central thesis that bringing back this focus onto ourselves in this wider community while also connecting to nature will help us become closer, it’s quite a beautiful message that combines both humor and more sad moments to effectively tell its story. 

Overall Hoppers is a very solid film that has this fun and heartfelt energy that brings the film together. Some ideas might be familiar however in the end the film is worth the watch. 

Hoppers is available on all VOD platforms.

How To Make A Killing (2026) Film Review


 A disinherited man, Becket Redfellow, systematically murders his way up the line of succession to claim his family’s fortune.

How To Make A Killing is directed by John Patton Ford director of Emily The Criminal (2022). 

How To Make A Killing has its flaws, but it’s an overall entertaining ride with a solid cast that does lift the material in entertaining ways. 

Glen Powell shows a lot of charisma here, he plays Becket Redfellow in this humorous and charming way that you can’t help but feel invested into him as a character. He works with the cast quite well particularly with Margaret Qualley and Jessica Henwick. Margaret Qualley brings this charm to the film as well and brings this femme fatale into the mix that is quite effective, Jessica Henwick has great chemistry with the cast. Her story can feel a bit out of place with the chaos happening, but she manages to make it work in the end. 

The writing has some very humorous moments and brings this satirical edge to the mix as well. There definitely are moments where the film does get a bit too ridiculous and admittedly the ending does give off the vibe of rushing something together due to not really knowing how to close out the film. But I do think everything that came before the ending does work together decently well. 

The pacing can be very inconsistent at times, some sections of the film have this nice atmospheric and fun feel, while others have this rushed feel that doesn’t flow together all that well. The character moments are fine enough and although brief, the flashback scenes do give us a bit more information about Julia Steinfeld (played by Margaret Qualley.) 

Overall there really isn’t a whole lot to say here, How To Make A Killing isn’t really saying anything new. But it is admittedly a very entertaining ride that does have a fun cast, great humor and works purely on charm. 

How To Make A Killing is available on all VOD platforms.

Touch Me (2026) Film Review


Two friends, homeless and struggling, find a mysterious ex who happens to be an alien. His touch cures their anxiety and depression, leading them to his compound, but they discover he has sinister motives

Touch Me is directed by Addison Heimann director of Hypochondriac (2022). 

Touch Me has plenty of good ideas on paper but unfortunately falls short due to it’s incredibly all over the place script which can take the viewer out of the movie incredibly quickly. 

The performances from Olivia Taylor Dudley and Jordan Gavaris aren’t bad, they do what they can with an incredibly out there script and manage to have a few moments where you can tell their chemistry is quite great. The dynamic between the two has its humorous moments that are some of the movie’s highlights. 

What ultimately hurts the movie is the incredibly messy writing that seems to not have a focus, on one hand I’m all for movies to be as bizarre as possible. There’s plenty of bonkers moments in this movie some of which do lead into some decently funny scenes. But on the other hand this is the end result when a movie tries way too hard to be as bizarre as possible, there is one scene in particular that really reflects this and simply feels like it’s there to be weird for the sake of being weird. 

I do like the atmosphere the movie goes for, but without many strong writing moments combined with moments that want to throw as much bizarreness on the table for the sake of it. The experience as a whole feels very empty and does not offer all that much, with that being said the technical aspects aren’t bad and as I said before the acting is decent enough. 

Overall Touch Me isn’t terrible, I admire the attempt of making something so bizarre even if this one does fall short. 

Touch Me is out now on digital!

Roommates (2026) Film Review

A shy freshman, Devon, hopes to reinvent herself in college by becoming best friends with her cool roommate, Celeste, but their bond sours into a passive-aggressive war as Celeste’s behavior becomes increasingly manipulative.

Roommates is directed by Chandler Levack director of We Forgot to Break Up (2017), I Like Movies (2022) and Mile End Kicks (2026). 

It’s worth noting that Mile End Kicks and Roommates came out the exact same day which was April 17th 2026 very neat! I also do think it’s kind of interesting due to both films centering someone in different parts of their life, Mile End Kicks focuses on being in your late 20s and trying to figure yourself out in the world with this feel of loneliness. Roommates focuses on freshmen year of college, someone who just graduated high school. They are both done in very different styles but I thought it was neat to point out. 

Roommates is a surprisingly decent Netflix comedy, there are some flaws that do unfortunately hold this movie back from reaching “great” territory, but for what the film is and how Chandler Levack is able to tell the story in this sort of focused way (up until the third act) I do think it’s worth it in the end. 

Sadie Sandler (daughter of Adam Sandler) does a really great job here, while this isn’t her first role. This is her first performance without Adam Sandler being in the movie. Her performance as Devon has the right amount of charm and character moments that really bring the fun atmosphere to life. She shows off her range in her performance decently well, plus her chemistry with the rest of the cast especially Chloe East is quite fascinating. 

Chloe East plays Celeste someone who is truly unlikable and due to some grounded moments from East, the performance ends up delivering quite well. She’s able to switch from being a seemingly sweet person to a pretty nasty one with a flip of a switch, it has this Regina George from Mean Girls (2004) sort of feel that Chloe East captures incredibly well. 

The rest of the film is solid, it’s entertaining enough to reach the finish line. But it is admittedly on the basic side of things, luckily there are the technical elements such as the fun music and the speedy editing to back the film up.

It’s very clear that this is a much different film from director Chandler Levack, whereas her last couple films have had more of a grounded approach. Roommates is a much more sillier approach with some grounded moments as well as being larger in scale. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing as the movie manages to stick the landing, but you do start to see the cracks during the third act where things get a bit too chaotic that can potentially take the viewer out of the experience. 

Overall Roommates is not bad, it’s decently fun and has great performances. Not everything works here, but if you are looking for a quick watch this will do the job.

Roommates is available on Netflix.
