An emotionally unstable college freshman (Leighton Meester) grows obsessed with her unsuspecting roommate (Minka Kelly) in Danish director Christian E. Christiansen's English-language debut. Trouble begins after a frat party, when Kelly's Sara character comes back to her dorm room smashed, pausing to meet her roommate, Rebecca (Meester), for the first time just before she rushes out of the room to puke. Both being artistic types, Rebecca gloms onto Sara's artistic yearnings and they both bond over couture culture, yet Rebecca's antisocial behavior always seems to stand in the way of them being best buds. Soon it becomes apparent that Rebecca's territorial side is something to be freaked out by, as Sara's ex-boyfriend, her pervy teacher, and anyone else that do the young artist harm will attest. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

When dad decides to leave the family dairy in the hands of his two spoiled teenage daughters in order to take a much-needed vacation, the self-absorbed girls find that saving the struggling business may take even more effort than maintaining their high-ranking status among the popular set in a hilarious Disney Channel Original Movie starring singing sensations Aly and AJ. Taylor and Courtney Callum have always had it easy, thanks to the hard work of their father in getting the family dairy up and running. Lately business isn't what it used to be, though, and after years of working day and night to provide for his family, Taylor and Courtney's dad needs a little time off. When dad insists that Taylor and Courtney look after the day-to-day business of the dairy while he's out of town, the prospect of saving the family business may finally provide the incentive needed for these two girls to stop thinking about themselves for once and pitch in for the good of the whole family. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Created by Tim Maile and Douglas Tuber, the half-hour animated series Phil of the Future was originally titled The Out of Timers. This weekly effort chronicled the misadventures of the Diffys, a family from the year 2121 who had been inadvertently thrust back to 2004 thanks to a malfunctioning rented time machine. The titular Phil Diffy was a 15-year-old high school freshman (he'd been originally conceived as 12-year-old, but there were too many 12-year-olds on cartoon series as it was). Regarded as normal by 22nd century standards, Phil found himself a misfit as he attended school in his adopted 21st-century home town of Pickford, the eternal target of bullies and wise guys who found his futuristic patois to be "weird." Fortunately, Phil could always count upon the support of his best friend Keely Teslow, the only person who knew that the Diffys were from another time. Other characters included Phil's dad Lloyd, whose 22nd century inventions and gadgets always managed to get the family into trouble; Phil's mom Barbara, part-human, part-robot; his kid sister Pim, given to emitting bizarre noises; and Debbie Berwick, "Teacher's Pet" and Pim's best pal. One of the most popular offerings of cable's Disney Channel, Phil of the Future debuted June 18, 2004. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
