Simply A Masterpiece
A Major Disappointment
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
"Threesome" is like a cross between "Jules and Jim" (for obvious reasons) and "When Harry Met Sally" (it examines the same central question - can there be "just" friendship between a man and a woman?). It's also the movie where I fell in love with Lara Flynn Boyle, back in 1994. Watching it again now, it remains fresh, funny, bold, bittersweet, and even wise at the end. Like the whole experience does for Josh Charles' character, it's a film that stays with you. *** out of 4.
All in all, a below average watch. There is no touch with reality - whether from a relationship perspective, college life, friendships, or anything else.The acting is atrocious, as far as Baldwin and Boyle go. Charles redeems it a bit - but only a BIT. The situations are simply ridiculous. Statements are made, and then left hanging without culmination. Friendships are portrayed with an emptiness around them that is difficult to understand.Considering the writer is the director (Fleming), not much more could've been expected since the story itself is so awful.I saw the movie 'coz the actors are from my era, and I thought it would be nostalgic. Hardly - avoid it if you can.
This is one of those movies that you stumble across on HBO, and walk away glad that you watched it.I'm not sure exactly what made this movie so great. I think because it was funny, it had a great story line, it gave the characters an extreme sense of sexuality, it reminded me of myself at times, and lastly.......it hinted on what and what NOT to do with women if you want to be successful.It's one of those movies that I agree, is not for young kids, and not for people over 35. I just really got a feel for the characters, and it kept my attention the entire movie.Overall, I'd say that this movie felt real to me. I felt I could relate to the characters, and nothing about this movie was far fetched. It's just one of those movies that you have to see to understand why it's captivating. And see why and how women are attracted to men that they can't have, or create a challenge.
Due to a computer mix up female Alex (Lara Flynn Boyle) has to share a dorm apartment with two men--sex-obsessed Stuart (Stephen Baldwin) and nice, quiet Eddy (Josh Charles). She begins to fall in love with Eddy but he reveals to her that he's gay--maybe (he's still a virgin). They all become fast friends and make a pact NOT to have sex with each other. But Alex is still in love with Eddy--and Eddy is very attracted to hunky Stuart...Almost perfect comedy/drama. For its time, this was groundbreaking. This was a rare Hollywood film that brought up gay characters and issues and did NOT ignore them or "miraculously" make the character straight. SPOILER ALERT!!!!! It is revealed that Eddy IS gay and is happily with a boyfriend at the end of the movie! I remember seeing this in a theatre and being stunned in 1994. NO Hollywood film had ever done that before (letting a gay character stay gay AND be happy). Even today that's a rare occurrence--back in 1994 it was unheard of. For this alone this movie should be better known. END SPOILER ALERT!!!Sexual politics aside it's also a damn funny movie. The characters are believable, the dialogue is frank and VERY adult (this is NOT for kids) and the movie moves quickly--never a dull moment. Boyle was young (24) when she made this. Her performance is great and she looks incredible (unlike now where she looks seriously anorexic); Charles is letter perfect as Eddy--you see has pain and conflict as he comes to terms with his sexuality; even Baldwin is good! His character is an obnoxious jerk but he has his sweet moments and really pulls them off. But it's his character that prevents me from giving this movie a 10. His character IS a real jerk and his sick jokes and comments really wore me down. Also there is a scene between him and Charles which is just bristling with homo eroticism--and the film stops it. I can accept that though--back in 1994 a mainstream audience couldn't have dealt with two guys going at it.Sadly this film bombed in 1994 (a bad ad campaign didn't help matters). This Definitely deserves rediscovery. Exceptional film that deals honestly with college kids and sexual politics. Well worth seeing.
