When the coolest guy in school discovers that the new girl sees through his popularity and good looks, he enlists the class nerd to take over his social media accounts to add substance to his style.

Forgettable and poorly made, script and directing. The kids did their best I suppose

Carla Hay

Culture Mix

Predictable, boring, and plagued by amateurish acting, It Takes Three is a forgettable mashup of a John Hughes movie and Cyrano de Bergerac.

Brian Costello

Common Sense Media

It Takes Three is an all-too-familiar story with all-too-familiar teen character types, but clever writing and inspired acting keep it entertaining throughout.

Rated: 4/5

Amanda Mazzillo

Film Inquiry

It Takes Three is an interesting update to the classic teen romantic comedy that finds its strength by diving deep inside every character and every relationship dynamic.

There is nothing new to see here, but that is to be expected. The lack of strong characters is disappointing in this sweet and harmless movie.

Daniel M. Kimmel

North Shore Movies

It's the cleverest adaptation of a classic to a high school setting since the transformation of Shakespeare's Taming Of The Shrew into 10 Things I Hate About You.

Rated: 4/5

Gay City News

There are as many sweet moments as cringe-inducing ones.... The cast leans into the oft-trod material with aplomb, playing up their characters' insecurities, with the confident Perrineau the standout.
