Tags: mystery, murder

Plot synopsis:
At the University of Los Angeles, new freshman Sara Mathews (Minka Kelly) is moving into her dorm. Her roommate isn't there yet, so Sara chooses her side of the room and settles in. She meets another freshman, Tracy (Ali Michalka) and her roommate Kim, and the three go to a frat party. Sara drinks and dances and catches the eye of the drummer in the band. As she leaves the floor, she turns and the drummer runs into her, spilling beer all over her shirt. He introduces himself as Stephen (Cam Gigandet), and he's in the fraternity and also a student. As the chat, they see a drunk Tracy lift her shirt and flash the party, and they decide to take her home. She thanks him and kisses him goodnight.When she enters her room in the dark, she trips over luggage... her roommate Rebecca has moved in. She sleeps off her drunken state and wakes the next day to actually meet Rebecca (Leighton Meester). They shop together at the bookstore for supplies, and Sara's phone rings-she sees it is Jason, and explains to Rebecca that he was her boyfriend, but she broke up with him. They both applied to college, and Sara got into Brown, but Jason didn't. So, they decided to go to ULA together. A week ago, Brown had an opening for Jason, and he took it, even though Sara passed up her chance to go there because of him. She declines the call, and when they are back in the room, they look at each others art: Sara is a fashion design major, and Rebecca is an art major. Rebecca likes Sara's portfolio, but when Sara asks to see Rebecca's sketch book, she firmly tells Sara "no". She doesn't share it until it is finished; "it is part of my process", she explains.Sara goes to a fashion design class, and is late, and stands at the door. Professor Roberts (Billy Zane) lectures, and after class, Sara asks him if he will sign a waiver and add her to the class, as it is full. He says 'no', but tells her she can take it in one of the other three sections. Sara says that she'd rather wait until next year so she can take it with him. He changes his mind and signs her in, saying that she has two things he cannot teach: style and desire.Tracy stops by Sara and Rebecca's room and invites them to go to a nightclub with her. Rebecca declines. Sara goes, and puts her phone in Tracy's purse for the evening. A guy hits on Tracy, and after a while, Sara notices that she is gone. Without a phone or purse, she is stuck. She walks to a diner and calls Rebecca collect. Rebecca arrives a short while later, and they order pancakes, and Rebecca says she is taking Sara to see the sights of the big city tomorrow.The next day, Sara and Rebecca go to an art gallery and Rebecca explains that the artist, Richard Price, is her favorite. Sara looks at Rebecca's favorite painting, and is a bit disturbed by the image, but just smiles. They walk past a tattoo store, and Rebecca says she could never do that, and Sara tells her its no big deal that she has a tattoo. She shows Rebecca: it is above her breast, and says 'Emily'. Sara explains that Emily was Sara's older sister, who died when Sara was 9 years old.Sara goes jogging, and Rebecca looks through her stuff, and puts on her perfume and the necklace. When Sara returns, she tells her she can borrow anything of hers, EXCEPT that necklace, as it is the only thing she saved of her sister's.Another day or so later, Sara finds a stray kitten and sneaks it into the dorm. Rebecca likes it, too, and says they should keep it. They name it Cuddles, and they share him.Stephen comes to the coffee house where Sara has gotten a job. It's her first day, and she's not very good at it when she blows up a blenderful of smoothie. He asks her out to dinner and she accepts. At home, Rebecca is all dressed up, and got them tickets to a gallery show of the artist Richard Price. Sara tells her she already has plans seeing Rebecca's sad face, she says she'll cancel and goes with Rebecca. Sara sends Stephen a quick text and cancels their dinner date.The next day, Sara gets a text from an older friend, Irene (Danneel Harris), who is also from her home town and a fashion major grad. She is a stylist, and travels all over the world. She lives in L.A., and she and Sara are going to get together. Sara drops in on Stephen studying in the library, and asks him out to dinner.That night, Tracy goes in the dorm showers, and the lights go out. She checks the room but finds nothing and nobody. The lights go back on and she returns to her shower, and is she is attacked and smothered by someone holding the shower curtain down over her, and the person whispers in her ear, "You are a bad influence on her, you trashy party whore". And then she tells her if she tells anyone about this, she will kill her, and then rips out Tracy's belly ring and throws it at her. Tracy is crying, left on the shower floor.Rebecca is frantic in the dorm room; it is 1:00 am, and Sara isn't home. She keeps calling her cell phone, and finally she hears Sara in the hall. As Sara and Stephen kiss, Rebecca comes out and yells at her, wanting to know where she's been, and that she was worried. Sara and Stephen looked at each other thinking that this is strange. Sara tells her she doesn't need to call or worry again.Walking to class, Sara passes Tracy and asks her why she moved out of the dorm building. Tracy tells her that she switched dorms because it had a better vibe. Rebecca joins them and Tracy looks scared and leaves mid-sentence. Rebecca just says that Tracy was always flakey.A few days later, Sara and Stephen are in a park, looking at a view of L.A. after a date. She asks him if they are going to her place, with a twin bed and a roommate, or his? They go to his room, and they have sex. Meanwhile, Rebecca is back in the dorm, frantic again since Sara isn't home. She doesn't call her this time. She hears a phone ring and its is Sara's phone, which she has left behind. The I.D. says it is Jason. Rebecca answers it, and mumbles while Jason talks. She whispers and tells him she misses touching him and asks if he misses touching her. While he talks, she masturbates, and then tells him, "Don't ever call me again!", and hangs up.Since the R.A. (resident advisor) caught them with the cat, Sara walks to Irenes and asks her if she wants Cuddles. She says no because she travels too much and doesn't have the time to raise a cat. Irene gives Sara a bunch of expensive hand-me-down clothes, and tells her she should move in with her, as the place is enormous, she travels a lot, and then she could keep the cat. Sara thinks its a terrific idea. When she returns to the dorm, Sara tells Rebecca about the idea, and Rebecca freaks out. Sara tells her to relax, that it is just something to think about and if she does move, they can keep the cat. When Sara leaves the room, Rebecca takes the cat with her to the laundry room, and puts the cat in the dryer, puts in coins, and starts it up...Next, Rebecca hits herself in the face quite hard, leaving bruises. She also bruises her arms and legs, and slices her stomach with Sara's art blade. She waits for Sara to return, and when Sara sees the blood, Rebecca tells her that the cat got away and when she went looking for it, she was jumped and beaten by some thug in a vacant alley. Sara tells her to go to the police, but she refuses. Sara cleans her up and helps with her stab wound. Rebecca makes Sara promise to never leave her alone ever again.A few weeks later, Professor Roberts asks Sara to stay after class. He tells her that when he goes to Fashion Week in Paris, the budget allows him to take an assistant and if she would she like to go with him. Before she can answer, he leans in and kisses her. She pushes him away and leaves, disgusted. She tells Rebecca about it, and how sick it was, especially since he is married.That evening, Rebecca pays him a visit at his office, pretending that she wants to add his class. She says she'll do anything, and when he tells her to kiss him, she starts screaming, and yelling, "No! Stop! Ouch, you're hurting me!" She shows him that she has recorded the whole conversation on a mini-recorder, and leaves. In the morning, Sara has a substitute for her class; Professor Roberts is on a leave of absence. She explains to Rebecca that the gossip is that someone played a recording of him hitting on a student, just like he did to Sara, to the dean, and that he won't be back.Another few weeks later, Sara joins Rebecca for Thanksgiving at her family's estate in Beverly Hills. It is huge, and obvious that she has a wealthy family. Rebecca's parents Jeff and Alison (Tomas Arana and Frances Fisher) are surprised she is home, as she didn't call and say she was coming. The next day, Rebecca is going to show Sara around town. Her mother speaks to Sara when Rebecca isn't there, and asks if she is taking her medication.The two girls sight-see and go for coffee at Rebecca's favorite place. A group of girls come in and glares at Rebecca. She says they are girls she knew from high school. Rebecca is uncomfortable and they leave. On the way out, one girl (Nina Dobrev) tells Rebecca, "You were never my friend."When they get back to the dorm, Sara gets a text that Irene is back in town and if they want to meet. Rebecca tells her she feels inspired, and is going to the studio to sketch, and not wait up for her. After Rebecca leaves, and Sara looks through her stuff... and finds a prescription. It is for medication used to treat psychotic problems like schizophrenia and bi-polar syndrome. The medication is untouched meaning that Rebecca has apparently never taken it. Sara and Stephen think that maybe it is time for Sara to move in Irene's place.Meanwhile, Rebecca doesn't go to the studio as she told Sara. She goes to a nightclub where Irene is dancing and drinking with other random women. Rebecca sexually hits on Irene in the restroom, and they decide to go back to Irene's apartment.In the morning, Rebecca arrives back at the dorm. Sara starts to tell her that she is moving out, but then Rebecca begs her to go with her to get a tattoo, before Sara has a chance to say anything. She goes with Rebecca and waits. When she is done, Sara asks to see the tattoo: it is a replica of Sara's, that says 'Emily' above her breast. Rebecca says, "Now you can think of me as your sister". Sara is sickened, and runs out. She packs and takes a taxi over to Stephen's frat house to stay until Irene returns to town; she has called Irene but just gets her machine, and assumes she is away again. While packing, she can't find her necklace, but won't go back and look for it.Jason comes to town and leaves a message on Sara's phone; she never answers it. He goes to her dorm and slips a note under the door that says he wants to see her and for her to come to his hotel room. Rebecca goes in the shower-as she showers, dark hair dye runs down her back; she is dying her hair to look like Sara.Rebecca goes to Jason's hotel and swipes a room key from a maid. She undresses and slips into bed behind sleeping Jason. He is groggy and starts to wake up. She kisses him, and straddles him. He wakes up, and sees the necklace and tattoo and smells the perfume, and assumes its Sara. Rebecca yells at him, "She doesn't love you!", and stabs him with Sara's art blade.There is a party at the frat house and Sara is supposed to meet Stephen at 10:00 pm, but she is a no-show. He checks his phone and has a message form Sara: Irene is back and needs her, so she is going there and wants him to meet her there.Sara arrives at Irene's apartment and sees the front door wide open. Alarmed, she carefully enters and looks for Irene. Sara goes in the bedroom, and Irene screams; she is tied up to the bed and gagged. Rebecca is there with a gun pointed at Sara, and tells her to sit down. She says that all she ever wanted was to be her friend, and that is why she got rid of Tracy, the cat and Professor Roberts. Sara tries to calm Rebecca and tell her she is her friend, and asks her to forgive her. But just then Stephen comes in and tried to grab the gun. A big fight breaks out, and Stephen is knocked out. The gun goes sliding out the room, and Sara and Rebecca fight, turning over furniture. Rebecca goes to get the gun, and Sara locks her out of the bedroom. She tries to free Irene, but Rebecca gets the gun and begins shooting at the door. Irene tells her to go out the window, but there is no fire escape and they are up quite high. She is at the window, when Rebecca shoots her way in, and Sara falls out, clinging to the curtain. Stephen attacks Rebecca from behind and knocks her out. He pulls Sara back up and as she is about to climb in the window, Rebecca hits Stephen hard, and he is unconscious. Rebecca pulls Sara in, and Sara hits Rebecca. They fight again, and Sara gets the gun. She holds it pointed at Rebecca, but Rebecca doesn't think she'll shoot. She does, but the gun is empty. Rebecca screams, and lunges at Sara. They fight and the purse is knocked over, spilling the contents, which include Sara's art blade. Rebecca chokes Sara, and Sara struggles to grab the blade. She does, and stabs Rebecca in the back, saying, "I was never your friend". She goes to Stephen, who is just coming around, then gets her necklace back from Rebecca, who dies, and there are sirens in the background.Epilogue. Sara moves into a new dorm, and Stephen joins her in her new room. She asks him to help her with one thing: they slide the other bed out in the hall and leave it there.

Review: When Sara returns to her room, she meets her roommate Rebecca Evans (Leighton Meester) and they become friends.
If you took any kid in school sat them down and told them to write a scary horror movie that is set on a university/college campus this is pretty much what they would come up with exactly.
That is the case in this rainbow version of the 1992 classic film 'Single White Female.' The film starts with our main character Sarah Matthews (Minka Kelly) moving into her dorm.
When a movie makes you think a ninety-one minute run time is insufferable, wow is it bad.The Roommate's biggest problem is that it is one big tease.
The makeout scenes could very well win the worst sex award as well.The plot is a girl named Sara (Kelly) is starting College and gets a new dorm.
It is Fatal Attraction mixed with Single White Female, and it creates a disastrous and lame film.Starring: Leighton Meester, Minka Kelly, Cam Gigandet, Billy Zane, and Alyson Michalka.
Does anybody else agree?But I do think the movie could have been a little better, longer.The Roommate can't be taken seriously.For all Meester's genuine efforts, it's basically moronic games with the mentally ill.
One thing I would like to see more if they decide to make a sequel , Rebecca should have been scarier you know , All she does is make herself look like some crazy stalker / obsession over Sarah but she should have killed her enemies people that are close to her in a more dramatic and scarier way.
Meester is somewhat good as the troubled student and Kelly looks beautiful but for the most part the movie has no real acting to speak of.
Maybe it's only fair that Sara's roommate Rebecca (Leighton Meester) is a psychopath.The one thing that I liked about "The Roommate" is that it's a horror movie rated PG.
Well let me get the obvious out of the way The Roommate is Single White Female.to a tee but unlike other Sony/screen gem films like Prom night, and stepfather, it does not retain the same name, you could set your watch to the beats that "roommate " has .THE PLOT :Sara Matthews ( played by Minka Kelly) Goes to college and it one of those only in movie colleges where there little to no classes and you can go and drink at any bar with your freshmen buddies even though you only 18 years old .
Then of course a guy ( Cam Gigandet) get between them and dates Sara .Then the great new roommate turn crazy Judgement: One Problems with this movie is the "evil' Roommate is actually the most likable character in this movie for the first 30 minutes, she smart, and loyal friend, only goes nuts when the script goes "oh crap that right she got to be crazy".At least with "Single White female" Jennifer Jason Leigh character is showing signs of problem very early on.
It would be easy to say that The Roommate is a lazy attempt at a remake of the 1992 movie, Single White Female without claiming to be, but it isn't really.
That said, let's go...Summary: A story about a freshmen college student, Sara (Minka Kelly) and her obsessed psycho roommate, Rebecca ( Leighton Meester) who feels the need to remove everyone from Sara's path, her newly acquired BFF - a destination established by Rebecca and by Rebecca alone, after only two days.As much as I like a flick with a demented chick, I must admit, there was something lacking in this - a movie I truly thought was going to offer so much more than it did I like the concept of the movie because I was able to see what it could have been, through the glimpses of the psychotic potential shown by way of the character, Rebecca.
Sara ends up tied to Rebecca (Leighton Meester) her roommate who is about as private and withdrawn as Sara herself, but with a spicy twist - she's insane, well not really, she's suppose to be on medication, but apparently doesn't actually take it - the audience will not know why.This movie had so much more potential of being a true psychological thriller had the writers allowed Rebecca's deranged character to shine, instead they focused on the dullness of Sara which brought true dullness to the movie.
Not certain if they wanted to showcase Minka Kelly as a leading actress or what, but it did not work well for this particular vehicle; as her character was too dull to carry what was suppose to be a thriller movie, that fell short of it's mark.
This truly is a terrible film and should be avoided at all costs.I gave 'The Roommate' a 2/10 because Minka Kelly and Leighton Meester are gorgeous so they slightly distract the horrible film you're watching with some eye candy relief.
Movies like this get a bad rap because you know exactly whats going to happen.But this was shot in a film-noir style and didn't resort to being a slasher-esque movie, unknown foreign director christensen builds the suspense up well, there's nothing long winded here and the 90 minute running time is perfectly paced.No harm that all the characters are easy on the eye, and while no-one stood out, there wasn't any cringeworthy or cheesy performances.Its unfair to compare this to other "obsession" movies, I feel this film stands out on its own and is a solid thriler much better than the 4.5 rating on here.
Also having two of the elite actresses such as Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly in the leading roles certainly make a great film that much better.
The dialog is about as dull as it gets, especially the cheesy lines between Sara and her new boyfriend Stephen (Cam Gigandet).I never felt any kind of sympathy for any of the characters, so it pretty much did not matter to me, who lived and who died, which results in a 90 minute waste of time.
The "fighting" scenes especially towards the end are beyond ridiculous and the "suspense" is created by a close-up shot of the character looking suspicious in a room without proper lighting.The reasons why I still decided to give this one 4 out of 10 are that it's relatively easy to watch and does not demand a lot of attention, so I guess it might work for some people as a decent way to kill time if you lower your standard.
After a party at Stephen's fraternity house that lands Tracy drunk, Sara arrives back at her dorm late at night and meets Rebecca Evans (Leighton Meester), her new roommate, whose parents live only 20 minutes away and who is great at drawing portraits of people.
Long story short she gets a roommate named Rebecca (Leighton Meester, "Gossip Girl") who becomes overly obsessed with her.
Random unimportant story tangents develop concerning the death of Sarah's sister when she was nine, a random introduction of the character Irene (Danneel Harris, "Fired Up") and throwing in a creepy teacher named Professor Robberts (Billy Zane).There were two good things about the movie that aren't important at all to the movie itself.
As stated before by many critics, "the film isn't even bad enough to be good"."The Roommate" fails on every single level and does not even have a twist ending of any sort to mae the movie somewhat worth it.
After Sara (Kelly) meets her new college roommate Rebecca (Meester) she thinks she has found a new friend.
Go See It. I know this movie resembles a lot from One of my favorite movie of all time Which is "Single White Female", but i guess there's no harm in trying, so yes i did see this film and was somewhat expecting the same thing that will happen.
Roommates are crazy.I wanted to copy and paste the plot to Single White Female and then change the character names to the one from this movie, but that would involve me putting effort into describing this movie.
The point of realization for Sarah that her roommate isn't all their, is when she gets the exact same tattoo, of Sarah's dead sister's name.....awkward.The film is targeted towards young teenage girls, so it's not scary or thrilling what so ever.
The characters weren't totally dumb like in a classic horror film, and they had the same reactions I feel that real people would have, so it was a relief when they were actually not doing stupid things that would lead directly to their untimely death, which tends to be a trend in movies like this.
By the way, Leighton Meester & Minka Kelly looks like almost identical twins; they could have used this one as benefit to the story but failed.
I personally really enjoyed this movie, probably because I am a huge Aly Michalka fan (she does a great job in the film for the parts shes in) and also a fan of Minka Kelly and Leighton Meester.The film is basically much a remake of Single White Female.
A poorly directed and even more inadequately imagined exercise in genre calisthenics, The Roommate wanly goes through the motions of the psychological thriller playbook, but never manages to raise an eyebrow, let alone a pulse.an attractive young cast, simply pitched conceit and streamlined marketing efforts will turn out modest adolescent audiences for opening weekend, but poor word-of-mouth (the film did not screen in advance for critics) and limited demographic appeal will consign The Roommate fairly quickly to justifiably anonymous life as cable TV filler.No fun not really worth the time.....
Unfortunately, it is not the sort of small-budget overachieving thriller.Instead, this movie has a very predictable storyline interluded with scenes supposed to be thrilling that fit bad on the flow and look like they were just appendages thrown there to reduce boredom at expense of cohesion in editing.Supporting characters are brought into the story and then dropped without any construction or introduction, on an almost random manner.
My final impression is that the writers had a very simple, brief, 20-min story that they then worked backwards to enhance with add-ons, cliché characters and failed twists, even if one can perceive they really tried to make it a nice movie.I don't give very terrible marks to this film, though, because I don't think acting is that terribly bad given the bad story they were given first place.
Meanwhile Sara's new roommate, Rebecca Evans (Leighton Meester), quickly forms a great affinity towards her, soon spiralling into unhealthy fascination and murderous obsession.The movies brings back nostalgia.
I wouldn't call anyone in this outstanding, but Leighton Meester does come across as appropriately creepy as roommate Rebecca and Minka Kelly manages as Sara.
As unoriginal as this may be, there's an appropriate amount of suspense to it, Rebecca shows herself to be totally evil as she does away with her rivals for Sara's friendship and the final confrontation is pretty well done.For all that, if you want to see the basic story done well, you need to watch "Single White Female." If you want to see the same story with a bit of a twist, this will suffice, but it isn't as good.
It's not 'Single White Female' or 'Basic Instinct.' In fact, I'm not sure if I've seen a good female-stalker thriller since those films...oh, wait, loved 'The Crush,' but that also from the SWF time period.
Then an ending that's so anti-climactic and just plain ridiculous you will actually cringe and maybe even yell at your TV.Still of Minka Kelly and Leighton Meester in The Roommate The movie felt terribly forced.
The first two thirds of the film actually play out more like a depressing character study drama leaving the viewer feeling more sorry for Rebecca than afraid of her but then of course the end turns to routine third act 'B' movie trash and we finally get some action.

He's either in the wrong line of work or trying to make a quick buck—I'm not sure which is worse, but neither paints a very flattering portrait.This movie had so much more potential of being a true psychological thriller had the writers allowed Rebecca's deranged character to shine, instead they focused on the dullness of Sara which brought true dullness to the movie.
Though there was the brief unannounced trip to her parents house during the Thanksgiving holiday, the scene briefly eluded to the parents being quite afraid of their (un)medicated-behind daughter, as did a trio of young women she probably attended high school with, there was no real insight or depth to that portion of the movie, or what part those characters played in Rebecca's past life or present condition.

Freshman Student Sara (Minka Kelly) is looking forward to starting college life, but when she is assigned a new roommate (Rebecca) she discovers everything is not what it seems.You could say this film is a modern spin of the classic 'Single White Female' except it isn't as good, or as good as any other film you've seen in the last five years (Yes, even worse than any Jennifer Aniston film)Sara (Minka Kelly) is our main star, but fifteen minutes into the film we realise she is somewhat boring, luckily her looks distract us from her lack of personality (sometimes!) Her on screen boyfriend Stephan (Cam Gigandet) is the weak link in the entire movie; he pouts his way through the film and becomes quite useless.
The only decent actor in the film is the crazed roommate Rebecca (Leighton Meester) who delivers a believable potent performance, psychotic one moment and sweet the next.
The actors/actresses in this movie are generally good looking but in a realistic way, not like in teen horrors or cheer leading flicks were students all happen to be ridiculously "hot." Minka Kelly is attractive, Leighton Meester's looks are more of an acquired taste but still good looking, and the boyfriend I can see would be handsome to most, but not all.
Things go great, that is until Sara meets her new roommate Rebecca, a wealthy girl with mental problems who quickly become obsessed with her.
Of course it was promoted well due two of the cast of Vampire Diaries to be seen but even they are only for a short note in it, Kat Graham (Kim) being in it for a few minutes but the one every Vampire Diaries fan is waiting for Nina Dobrev (Maria) only for a few seconds.You really have to wait until the end before things got out of hand, before that we just see some kind of sick jealousy from Rebecca (Leighton Meester) taking revenge on the life of Sara (Minka Kelly).
College student Sara (Minka Kelly) finds that her new roommate Rebecca (Leighton Meester) has an obsession with her, which quickly turns violent.This is 'Single White Female' the college years.
The Roommate has the most attractive cast out in a movie in a long time: Minka Kelly, Leighton Meester, and Danneel Harris; Nina Dobrev also makes an appearance.
The next day she meets her roommate, Rebecca, who is somewhat antisocial and becomes more and more controlling as the movie goes by.Leighton's character, Rebecca, gets obsessed with Sara; she thinks she's her best friend, while Sara doesn't care all that much about her.
New college student Sara (Minka Kelly) moves into her dorm and meets her roommate, Rebecca (Leighton Meester).
I have seen far worse than this...the only thing I'll say is it seems like a modern, but carbon copy of the 1992 phenomenal thriller 'Single White Female'.6/10 from me, as the acting wasn't that bad.
It also plays on the psyche of female competition amongst one another in trying to go one up constantly, and the slightest of provocation means a smile on the outside and contempt on the inside.But to make it a little bit more palatable, the antagonist has got to be an outright psycho, which Leighton Meester does in her role as Rebecca, a Beverly Hills rich kid who is as mental as can get, although you have to admit possessing a brilliant criminal mind in scheming and plotting to get her way with her roommate, the fashion designer wannabe Sara Matthews (Minka Kelly, who had the bit role as Autumn in (500) Days of Summer), who comes with enough emotional baggage such as a good looking (hardly any ugly folks in this movie, people) ex-boyfriend, and a deceased sister who gets constantly mentioned together with a precious necklace, a small town girl looking toward making it big after her fashion education, aspiring to be like her more adult friend Irene (Danneel Ackles).Simply put, it's the classic tale of desire and unhealthy obsession, of needing to feel wanted, loved, and accepted by someone else.
Maybe I must see other thrillers to have a non interest in this film, but until then, I like the movie!.
But the story and most of the cast makes me glad that I saw The Roommate for free because this was for the most part a waste of time.Sara is starting her freshman year of college.
The two main characters are Sara (played by Minka Kelly) and Rebecca (played by Leighton Meester).
