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.

I wouldn't call it the best bisexual movie I've seen to be honest because I felt the character development among the three stooges were all over the place. Eddie is meant to like guys right and then suddenly backs them away to prove that he isn't gay. After all the complaining of being too closeted, he has sex with Stuart and Alex. I just felt like there should've been more thought when Andrew Fleming created the character. It's like he just wants him to be a whiny boy who in the end, never has gotten a partner all along. On the positive side, the sex scene's were really hot and romantic. I actually would've loved to have seen more instead of a few times because yknow it is a romantic bisexual movie all along!I would say this is a good chick flick movie and entertaining I guess. Maybe if I was watching this with a crowd of people, then I would've given this a 9 rating...

I started off watching this film with little hope of it being very good, but as the film went on, I found myself getting further sucked into the plot and relating with the characters. I usually hate romantic comedies but this film is different to the usual film from the genre - the characters were well developed - I felt like I really knew them and recognised them in people I actually know. The pacing was perfect - not too fast and I was able to get a real sense of what was going on. The plot completely believable too because of how it was presented, the themes of friendship and sexuality were well portrayed and not too rushed.The amount of comedy was perfect and I just generally really liked this film! However I would have liked to have seen more development of Eddy's character if I am brutally honest as I feel that him being gay should have played a bigger part in the film. Although, considering the time it was produced and released, it's safe to say that the film was pretty risky. I would love to see a more modern interpretation or remake.

Threesome (1994)*** (out of 4) Surprisingly effective comedy/drama about roommates Stuart (Stephen Baldwin) and Eddy (Josh Charles) whose lives turn upside down when Alex (Lara Flynn Boyle) moves into their dorm room. At first the three don't hit it off but that quickly changes and soon Alex likes Eddy, Stuart likes Alex and Eddy like Stuart. I remember watching this thing when it first came out and while this viewing didn't live up to what I remembered, I was still surprised at how well it did hold up all these years later. I think the film, unlike many, tried to be serious about it's subject matter and the three relationships that eventually evolve over the running time. For the most part the film doesn't hit any false moments as you will really feel as if you are watching three different characters come into their own while at college when sex is running free. The screenplay by director Fleming does a nice job at developing all three characters and their relationships with one another. I think the film doesn't shy away from its subject and in the end we're greeting to quite a few dramatic moments as well as some very funny ones. I think the running joke about all the pizza being eaten could have been left out but I don't fault the film too much for this. The performances by the three leads are quite effective with both Boyle and Charles really shining in their roles. Both of them handles their roles perfectly well with Boyle nailing the confusion and frustration of her character and Charles really coming off well as someone who doesn't know who he is. Baldwin adds a lot of laughter as the sex hungry male.
