The only reason I gave this movie two stars, rather than one is because I actually thought enough of the movie to sit through the entire movie in high hopes it would get better.
The movie starts off with one roommate beating the crap out of the other and then it rewinds to earlier that day to explain why. After that, the plot maintains stability and interest for about 20 minutes.
After that, the entire plot is a bit loose and quite boring. We have no idea how it came to be that these two mentally unstable and completely opposite lead characters decided to live together, obviously without even knowing each other at all beforehand. More history, rather than "We have 341 days left on the lease" would have been better for the movie's plot and its absent character growth.
Have you ever watched the movie "Home Alone" and spent the entire movie wondering, just like I did, "How could this happen (that Culkin's character got left behind by his own mother)??!" Well, you are going to do the same thing for 95 minutes - only this time you will wonder how they became roommates in the first place.
And just when you thought you have seen enough cat fighting, here comes the ending. And it's terrible. Just the horrible icing on an already poor cake.
So, not only do you get no history between the characters, you are left with no future with them, either.
A cross between "Single White Female" and "War of the Roses."
