Roommates (2002 film)

Roommates is a 2002 El Kadsreian-American surreal comedy film directed by Pasi Peure and and written by Peure and Kyle Kitthims.

The film stars Ashton Kutcher and Austin Pirmin as two childish but responsible roommates who live in an apartment in the Wonder Tower and become revenge victims to their stressed American-born neighbor, Tyler Johnson, played by Gary Cole, who seeks revenge on the two friends for their behavior.

Released on May 17, 2002 by 20th Century Fox and El TV Kadsre Films, the film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the acting and script, but criticized the pop culture references, with Rotten Tomatoes calling it, "a slight improvement over Freddy Got Fingered".

The film was a moderate box office success, grossing $52 million worldwide against its $29 million budget. The film has since developed a cult following among Peure and surreal comedy fans, and a TV series loosely based on the film premiered in 2013.

Plot
"Every year, millions of people are born. First they're babies, then they're children, and finally, they grow up. No more fun. It's all work, and play... But what if the adult acted like the child, but still worked, while they leave time to play?"
