Summary: Unnecessarily explicit
Review: Maybe enjoyable and well-made if viewed as a softcore flick, but basically I found it a trashy movie where young actors got naked in order to attract teenager audience. I felt sorry for Alexis Arquette.

Summary: You can't help but fall in love with Threesome.
Review: Meet Eddie, Stuart and Alex; three very different college students who end up as the unlikliest of roomates. They are Threesome, a hilarious, cool trio of friends mixed up in an impossible love/sex triangle. Their clashing personalities collide in a hysterical and sharp-written script that had me crying with laughter. But even amidst their crazy campus fun, they learn important lessons about sexuality and themselves that will stay with them forever. Joshua Charles, Stephen Baldwin, and Laura Flynn Boyle each bring these lovable characters to life. They compliment each other's eccentric personalities, even if they're not exactly thrilled to be stuck with each other at first. Threesome is an uplifting sexual comedy with a smart outlook on the surprising relationships that we may sometimes find ourselves in. It's a hip, quotable comedy that won't fail to make you laugh.

Summary: 3Some is Grrrrrrrrr-eat!
Review: One girl. Two guys. Three possibilities.
I really loved this movie. The plot is simple enough, basically just leading up to the threesome of the title, and the ending isn't as promising as it could have been. Nevertheless, the three leads, the sharp dialog, the great late-80's/early-90's soundtrack (Tears 4 Fears, Duran Duran), and the undeniably provocative tone make for a thoroughly enjoyable 90 minutes. Lots to enjoy, whether your gay or straight!

Summary: Makes me wish college
Review: One of the greatest, and indeed underrated, comedies of all time. I could watch this movie a million times and never tire of it. Lara Flynn Boyle (Alex), Stephen Baldwin (Stuart), and Josh Charles (Eddie) were cast perfectly in this movie. Their chemistry really came through in the final product. "Threesome" came out when I first went to college, 1994, so it helped me to deal with the transition from high school a little.Though opposites in personality, Eddie and Stuart were getting along as roommates when, through an administrative error at the college, Alex winds up in a male dormitory. It's then that the movie gets interesting. Alex has a crush on Eddie who has a crush on Stuart but they resolve to remain friends and the adventures the three of them face as friends are hilarious. Someone else said that the movie is not about sex and they're so right. "Threesome" is about trying to find yourself among the turmoil that is college life. Another excellent job from Andrew Fleming (who also directed "Bad Dreams," starring Jennifer Rubin).

Summary: Can't happen in real life but still fun!
Review: The chances of anything like this happening in real life are pretty slim, but since this is a movie, this is a minor point for me. Eddy (the wonderful Josh Charles for 'Dead Poets Society' - I wonder why we don't see him in more movies) moves into the dorms - only to get a roommate from hell, who is his exact opposite. While Eddy is serious, clean, quiet and shy, Stuart (Stephen Baldwin) is a messy, girl chasing little boy. The manage to find a way to live together, when Alex (Lara Flynn Boyle) moves into the other room in the suite - since her college record says she's a guy, not a girl. Stuart is attracted to Alex, while she's attracted ot Eddy, which soon discovers that not only is he gay, but he's attracted to Stuart... Sensing that sex would make their life together tough, they vow to avoid having it with one another (even though they scare all other suitors), and become close friends - so close, this friendship excludes every one else... But, they break their promise and have sex, in unlikely forms, and the 'Threesome' eventually break up... This movie is more than sex and sexual discovery - it's also about friendship and its boundries. As Eddy, our narator, sees it, the Threesome meant to him more than sex - he feels that he developed true friendship with Stuart and Alex. At the end of the movie, he wonders how people as close as they all were during that year in college can lose their connection with one another. In the alternate ending scene (which is included in the DVD with or without Andrew Fleming's commentary) we can see how people who were close as can be can't have a conversation without uncomfortable silences a couple of years later... Eddy feels he still wanted this friendship even when Alex and Stuart were running away from it, and the only one who felt comfortable enough to admit he wants and needs it... Ths situation in the movie was taken to an extreme, but I think that looking back, most of us had friendships like that - close, but when they ended for the wrong reasons you had nothing to say to each other...

Summary: Flawed, but enoyable college dramedy
Review: There are many flaws in THREESOME, one being casting Stephen Baldwin in ANY movie let alone a decent one like this, but Josh Charles and Lara Flynn Boyle are both very good and this is one of the most honest films out there. It may not be in the ranks of ANIMAL HOUSE college movies, but this is a very good movie.

Review: This film perfectly captures the rambunciousness (sp?) and self exploration we experienced in college - even if you don't completely identify with the characters, the atmosphere created leaves you nostalgic.

Summary: Honest, thought-provoking
Review: This is one of my favorite college movies. The script was sensitive and thoughtful. Andrew Fleming brought out some great performances in his three lead characters. By far one of the most under-rated movies around. This theme in particular needs to be explored by mainstream Hollywood more often. I was delighted that it was 2 guys and 1 girl.
