"El Roomie" is a romantic comedy with an interesting script but it is somewhat incipient, the comedy never seems to come to light completely on screen and the emotional message it plans to leave is left half-finished. The male lead is a limited actor without much talent, while Fiona Paloma plays an interesting character who plays at being a femme fatale due to her love for Film Noir and the actress represents it majestically. The cast also includes outstanding actors: Leticia Calderón and Carlos Ferro who provide fun performances. The cinematography is good and the editing work also manages to be of quality. "El Roomie" is a regular movie that is watchable.

Save your time.

There is no complex plot. No development of characters. No sense.
Save your time, the simplicity of the story almost feels like an insult because of the poor writing and acting. Annoying characters, plot holes, choreography's (why? Because they can), weird choices.
I mean, it doesn't even work as a cheesy comedy.
It just doesn't work and that's it.
The girl is first shy, but then she is suspicious and intelligent, but then she falls in love, but then she's hurt, but then she forgives everything. The worst: not in that particular order.
Jose Eduardo makes an effort as the leading male role, but the comedy just doesn't hit the spot.
And the little girl, oh my god, so annoying.
Tries to be inclusive with the LGBTQ+ community and the deaf people but feels like "meh".
