Movie Reviews of ThreesomeMovie Review: One of the best college movies, period Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite movies that I can watch over & over, & is just simply hilarious. Immediately you're introduced to the roommate Stuart's male antics, & I thought Baldwin played the part really well. How could you forget his disgusting confession to Eddie, "I just love the smell of her ...", or him bragging "Sex...is like pizza...even if it's bad, it's still pretty good!!" Alex is one of those confused, yet pretentious characters you want to hate, yet end up relating to at the same time, like when she's whining about guys "who don't give a ... about me". So many people want certain qualities in a person in relationships, but then the people they go after are really nothing what they really want...like scary Larry :) And who couldn't relate to her insecurities, like whining about being fat...even though she's far from it, or warning Eddie not to toy with her emotions. Eddie, the narrator, is basically just an intellectual who happens to be confused about his sexuality, and often seems to be in deep thought, even when he's not saying anything outloud or to himself. And I think college, being the ultimate place for self-discovery (if you go to it anyway), couldn't be a better place to set his search.The relationship of Stuart, Eddie & Alex hits me at home, reminding me of the close friendships I've had being inclusive, inhibiting outsiders, making fun of those not in the club cuz they don't get the joke, etc. Like in the middle of the movie, you meet Stuart's cutesy, air-headed date, & though you feel kinda sorry for her because you wouldn't wanna be made fun of like the way they treated her, you know that most people have done that sort of thing before. There's also various public scenes displaying their behaviour, & they seem to have no care or remorse for what others think...which brings another good point...they don't CARE what you think of them!! Their relationship gets, as expected, twisted at the end with the threesome, & I think if you were considering doing this (who hasn't at least thought about it at one point), & were concerned with feelings of the persons involved, the shattered friendship afterwards might actually make you think twice. Then at the end, Eddie reflects by noting how some people are so important one minute, & then gone the next...which is so true. Even after the 1st time I saw this movie when I was a freshman in college shortly after it came out on video (how ideal, huh?), I got a sense of some points & morals put in the movie, but also set in a very funny & entertaining atmosphere. Though it does deal a lot with sexual issues, I think it focuses more with personal relations. I dunno what's not to like about this movie, unless it's too sexual for your preference...want more sex, just see American Pie, but Threesome at least goes beyond just sex. Some of the humor just goes over some people's heads, I think...it's either funny to some people or it isn't...you either get the joke or you don't!! But if you ask me, it's funny as hell. And I also agree with another reviewer, you have to be open-minded to appreciate this, or at least allow yourself to be open-minded (like I think I was when I first saw it). I've seen this countless number of times, but you could probably tell this already...I could quote LOTS more, lol. It's always good & funny the next time I see it, & also leaves you with a few things to think about too...isn't that what a good movie is about? If you haven't seen it, you're missing out!!
