Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3.5/5 --
In all honesty, there's not a lot of deep laughs. But Room for Rent is a funny, light comedy that stays a step ahead of the audience. It's solid story and with solid performances worth checking out.

Film Threat
There is too little real tension and not quite enough laughs to make Room for Rent the effective black comedy it seems to want to be.

Rating: 6.5/10 --
It's not a gut-buster, but Room for Rent certainly hits a pleasing, enjoyable comedic sweet spot.

The Gate
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.

What She Said
Rating: 2.5/5 --
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.

Let's not kid ourselves: this is Little and Gelman's picture all the way.

NOW Toronto
Rating: 3.5/5 --
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.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Mitch Baldwin (30) is in a deep rut. He lives with his parents and has no intention of leaving. At 18, Mitch won the County Lottery, $3.5M dollars. 12 years later he's broke, has no friends or love life, and is a laughing stock. With his dad retiring, talk of selling the house pushes tensions to a breaking point. Mitch convincingly suggests renting their spare room for extra cash. Tentative, his parents agree. Quickly, a charming, yet peculiar stranger shows up at their front door willing to pay cash -- this is Carl Lemay (40). Mitch sets rules for Carl, but the family's routine is instantly upset. Mitch notices mysterious details about Carl; his car's license plates are missing, his back story is vague, and he seems set on pushing Mitch out of his comfort zone. Yet Mitch is disarmed by Carl's charm and confides in him about some of his regrets. To Mitch's dismay, Carl begins to use the information to undermine Mitch and expose his faults. A battle of wits breaks out and turns into all-out war involving deception, humiliation, spying and revenge. The question is how far are these two prepared to go?
