Excellent, a Must See
Brennan Camacho
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Threesome (1994) *** out of **** Directed by Andrew Fleming With Josh Charles, Lara Flynn Boyle, Stephen Baldwin Great comedy drama about three friends who share the room: Baldwin wants Boyle, Boyle wants Charles, Charles wants Baldwin. Strong, decent comedy about friendship, unrequited love and sex. Full of life and well executed. Is not excellent and nothing from another world, of course, but is nothing pretentious as much others. Spectacular performances by all.

This is one seriously underrated movie. The humor is very clever and mature (compared to say, a Will Farrell style college movie). I love the narration by the Eddy character, it makes this movie so much more. He makes you really feel what he's feeling. All three characters take you on their journey of self discovery, a bit of sexual experimentation that often occurs while in college, and most of all - the painful truth about "How can someone be such a necessary part of one's life one moment, and simply vanish the next?" How true is that?! One should also note the amazing original score by Thomas Newman. He's composed music for a ton of other movies too such as American Beauty, Pay It Forward, Erin Brockovich - just to scratch the surface. I recently became obsessed with finding this music, that is NOT included on the Threesome soundtrack (although the non-original music on that CD is a great compilation, including U2's "Dancing Barefoot" - a phenomenal song). I found it just this week if anyone else has been going crazy trying to find this music. It's on the American Buffalo soundtrack. The first half of the CD the score for American Buffalo score (which is pretty mediocre), and the last half is the original score to Threesome! Anyway, I think all three characters are VERY well played by the actors, even Stephen Baldwin - although I'm sure the role of the obnoxious, sex-obsessed roommate was tailor-made for the guy at that time. I love his and all the characters, and wouldn't change a thing about how they contribute to the three-way relationship that's formed as well as the story line.This movie is also very believable, a quality I love and a quality that keeps me from watching overly melodramatic "classics" like Gone With the Wind. I just don't believe the characters in those types of movies! So if you saw Threesome before and only thought it was so-so, give it another chance. Try to see it with new eyes, and for the love of God, listen to the original music when you can catch it. If you haven't seen it, rent it. You'll be pleasantly surprised. The DVD offers a couple of alternate endings, but I like the one they ultimately chose best. So it's not the happiest of endings, it's an extremely realistic ending. I was left completely satisfied.

the chemistry between the characters on screen is amazing. The realiztation of homosexuality is touching, and also, the fond descriptions that eddy gives throughout the movie is so sweet, verging on bittersweet towards the end. But while i go on about its senitmentality, i have not even begun to express the blatant exploration of sexuality and the funny ways in which all the characters can pull them off. You'll never look at garden gnomes in the same way i can tell you. The ending is so inexplicably satisfying that the only words the need to express after watching this monumental summarization of 90's sexuality is "Let's go back to college!"

I will admit threesome is not half as sleezy as the title implies. It was obviously written with a level of maturity and explores themes quite familiar to many kids and it does it in a surprisingly mature way. That said, I did not become involved in this at all. To me, the movie just never picked up steam and although it was far from bad watching this was a bit of an impersonal movie experience, it didn't bore me, as much as leave me with a feeling of detachment. As welldone as the movie was, the characters didn't reach out from the screen and leave me with a feeling of involvment in the storyline. I think the rating here(5.9) is pretty much on the money. I have nothing really bad to say about it except for the fact that it didn't get me involved in the storyline all that much. On the plus side, the movie was surprisingly mature in alot of places. On the minus side, I just wasn't all that interested in the characters. This is one of those movies that I can appreciate while not truely liking very much.
