Threesome (1994)
6/10
rom-com for three
15 February 2017
Intellectual Eddy (Josh Charles) is a junior transfer student. He is assigned to be a dorm roommate to crass womanizing Stuart (Stephen Baldwin). The odd couple eventually develops an equilibrium until the arrival of theater student Alex (Lara Flynn Boyle) for the third room in the suite. While the building is co-ed, the rooms are not. An error in the system had made Alex a boy and there is a wait to transfer her to another room. Stuart is into Alex but she hates him. Alex is into Eddy but he actually has secret gay feelings for Stuart. The sexual triangle faces a bumpy ride.

The language is quite explicit. It doesn't shy away from its sexual subject matter. Some of this feels like a sitcom. The saving grace are the three beautiful young actors having combative sexy fun. It's essentially a rom-com with three people. It's not high cinema but the three actors are charismatic and enjoyable. The sexual symmetry leads to some fun moments.
