Randall King

RTWinnipeg Free PressNov 2, 2018

With a supporting cast of local actors - Tom Anniko, John B. Lowe, Ernesto Griffith, Adriana O'Neil among them - the film is a decent quirky comedy that rises above a support-your-local-film-industry rationale to go see it.

RTWhat She SaidOct 29, 2018

A quirky comedy with a lot of 'tude mostly in the shape of high school lottery winner Mitch who burned through $3.5 M and wound up in his parents' spare room.

The screenplay is a little thin -- it's never quite clear why Mitch remains so thoroughly unemployable -- but the performances are good, with Gelman particularly committed to the cause.

It's not a gut-buster, but Room for Rent certainly hits a pleasing, enjoyable comedic sweet spot.
