The pieces were in place for a nice little story, but by trying to do too much with it, Roommates overshoots the runway. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 07/16/2005

Steve D @RT35616104 02/18/2023 The talent is here but the script leaves them nothing to work with. See more 09/26/2017 It may not be the best movie ever, but the performances were memorable and such a wonderful story about a boy and his grandfather. See more 11/26/2012 A nice tale of an old man and his grandson. A true story filmed in my home town here in pittsburgh. (Peter Faulk filmed a few movies here) See more 09/02/2012 Forgot about this little movie that was made in 1995. Very funny and heartwarming. See more 02/27/2012 Nice. Sweet. Moving. Peter Falk was great as the old geezer (though the makeup sometimes was questionable). See more 09/12/2011 Falk is a lovable grandfather who finds himself rooming with med-student grandson. What ensues is a touching and often very funny examination of both the generation gap and the connection between two well` meaning and well- loved individuals.
