ROOMMATE
From Page 5A
sets her apart from the other
vain, slutty girls Kelly hangs out
with. So, when she first starts
attacking the assholes in Kelly's
life, you're almost rooting for
her. And you keep rooting for
her until you see what she does
to Kelly's adopted kitten, "Cud-
dles." It's around that point you
realize just how sick Meester's
character is and what she's capa-
ble of on her quest to insulate her
roommate from everything out-
side of their relationship.
The only reason this oth-
erwise promising movie isn't
better is its newcomer direc-
tor, Christian E. Christiansen.
Apparently he's made movies in
Denmark well enough for him to
try an English-language film, but
it sometimes feels like this movie

has no director at all. Random
shots are canted throughout the
film as if Christiansen is paying
homage to ... someone else who
wasn't sure what canted shots
were for. It's like he's saying, "I
saw a horror film once," but you
seriously don't believe him. Most
importantly, there are about a
dozen pointless, weird pans and
dramatic zoom-ins that resemble
home movies where it's clear dad
was just trying to see what all the
buttons on the side of the camera
were for.
In fairness, most movies that
try to depict college kids and col-
lege situations have a hard time
doingso without looking like they
were directed by your mom. But,
because of how good-looking this
entire cast is - and how unset-
tling Meester's performance
becomes - we're distracted
enough from this movie's poor
directing to make it worth seeing.
