Summary: Title and Hype are Misleading
Review: OK. I admit it. I'm one of those who watched this movie hoping to see some skin (Kenya Moore's). But this movie is NOT about a menage a trois. In fact, the anticipated "menage-a-trois" bedroom scene is really quite PG-rated -- and quite forgetable.

Furthermore, if the title of the movie was more consistent with the storyline, I would have given this movie more stars. What the writers of this movie attempted to do is hook the viewer with a steamy storyline, then switch to becoming a serious movie about abuse, obsession, insanity, etc.

The bottom line: If you are buying this movie to see steamy sex -- forget it. This is not that type of movie. But if you like suprise endings -- then this movie is cool.

Summary: GET THAT SH... OUTTA HERE!
Review: One of the worse movies I ever saw. Only a couple people in the movie can act and thease are not even main characters. And there is no skin whatsoever! Take my advice and pass.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An ideal "water-cooler" flick!
Review: Sure, the movie was filmed on a shoestring budget. Yes, the cast is made up of relative unknowns. Of course, some of the plot lines have been visited before.

But, the film still holds the interest with a few climactic surprises thrown in. It should spawn some interesting discussion among men and women about truth and honesty in a relationship.

Not one to own, it is definitely worth a rental from the local video parlor.

Summary: Fatal Attraction Does It Again
Review: This had to be one of the worst films I saw last year. It was all too predictable. Sure, a movie with a good three-way is usually not to miss, but I would definitely not reccomend this film. Plus the thing that bothered me the most about the film was that it was too much like "Fatal Attraction". See that film first, and then see this one and tell me the difference.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: oh boy
Review: This has to be one of the worst films that I have ever seen. It was just really bad, bad acting, plot, lighting setting.. I don't want to get into further detail.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: "Trois" is a "Must See"
Review: This is a movie that is very entertaining just from the sheer concept of it all. I am really glad to see that it is now available on DVD because this is a movie that is worth owning a copy of. I found this movie to be kind of a cross between "Indecent Proposal" and "Fatal Attraction" with a touch of Black spice. Kenya Moore is sexy enough to send a shiver down any man's spine. "Trois" is very provocative if you let your mind escape into the movie...I understand that this movie was filmed on a low budget but then again, so was "She's Gotta Have It". I know of several other people that were curious about "Trois" and ended up enjoying the movie. Now that it's available on DVD, I'll be able to whip it out whenever the time is right.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Twists and turns
Review: This movie at first, seems to have a cheezy and predictable plot. The same old perverted husband and submissive wife who's willing to do ANYTHING to please her man even if it means sacrificing her morals. Suprizingly enough, the plot twist that occurs about 45 minutes into the movie will keep you watching as the story ends up being about more than a sexual escapade. For the first viewing it's captivating, but it isn't something that you would like to see over and over again with the cheesy-unrealistic dialouge and the far fetched drama.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: KEE
Review: This movie is worth watching.
It show how good independent
films can be. It has a good
plot and few flaws (Key's acting
and her not showing more skin).
Just don't expect motion picture
quality, big companys don't pay
for acurrat black caricatures.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: AN OK SEX THRILLER
Review: TO MAKE HIS RELATIONSHIP BETTER, A BUSINESSMAN [GARY DOURDAN] PAYS A SEXY CO-WORKER [GRETCHEN PALMER] TO DO A THREESOME WITH HIM AND HIS WIFE [KENYA MOORE]. BUT PROBLEMS OCCUR SHORTLY THEREAFTER. DEFINITELY NOT A SOFTCORE PORN FLICK BY ANY CHANCE. BUT THIS LOW BUDGET THRILLER IS ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD AT TIMES. HAS SOME GOOD ACTING AND SOME GOOD PLOT TWISTS. WORTH CHECKING OUT FOR SUSPENSE FANS. FOLLOWED BY A SEQUEL.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Sorry Kenya, Maybe Next Time
Review: TROIS, the second feature by Rob Hardy, director of CHOCOLATE CITY is an erotic thriller with few thrills and even less eroticism. What it does offer is a plot that defies logic and a cold lead male character. The women are a little bit better and are definitely nice to look at. Adorned in negligée that looks like it is at least a size too small, Kenya looks like she is about to burst at the seams. But alas, the filmmakers shy away from nudity and sex barely rises to the level of a daytime soap opera. This is really a shame because Black sexuality is so rarely presented on screen.

As a big supporter of independent film, specifically Black independent film, I can forgive murky lighting and mediocre sound. I'll even overlook minor plot inconsistencies and weak acting, but I find little to endorse here. The story makes absolutely no sense with seemingly arbitrary twists and turns. It also includes a preposterous sub-plot involving a child custody battle.

The only real highlight of the movie is Gretchen Palmer. She seems to be the only one of the major cast members that understands how to play her role for maximum camp appeal. If only Gary Dourdan's character weren't so dour and Kenya took her role less seriously, this might have still made for a fun movie even with it's many flaws. The somewhat similar UNINVITED GUEST, while also quite flawed is a better bet. This film is also devoid of any real nudity, but it tried at least to give its sex scenes some sense of danger and excitement. If you can't wait for UNINVITED GUEST to be released on video and are just starving to see Black sexuality on the screen, I'd say first look for a copy of SHE'S GOTTA HAVE IT or perhaps, CITY OF HOPE. In the latter film (which is a serious drama), Angela Bassett and Joe Morton have a nice go at it in one scene. If you've just got to see Kenya Moore, your money would be better spent by buying her calendar or getting a copy of SENSELESS. In the meantime, we'll just have to wait for Kenya to get a role that does her justice.
