Plot

edit

Mismatched college roommates Casey and Grace struggle to get along. Casey wears black and has an attitude because she has always had to struggle, while conservative and proper Grace has a family with money and will marry Charlie when she graduates. Believing Casey is sabotaging her life, Grace plots revenge, dating Casey's friend Joey and pretending to be interested in Casey's life.

Reception

edit

In Variety, Lael Loewenstein called the film a "humorous tale of difference and tolerance" and said "[w]inning, intimate performances" by the female stars "anchor the film and help smooth over its occasional lapses in logic."[2] He said the main characters are well developed and neither totally likeable nor always hateful. He described production values as "sharp".[2]
