L.A. Weekly

The three participants are so banal, their childlike motives so transparently egotistical -- it's not inconceivable that they got together because their first names all begin with s -- you want to shake them.

...an astringent but entertaining wake-up call to what's possible in the brave new world of universal marriage.

Film Journal International

Documentary as mesmerizing reality show and juicy soap opera combined with enough relevance, skillful storytelling, polish and compelling subjects to make it big-screen-worthy.

Fascination turns into overkill well before that time is exhausted, as we are along with it.

You are the ultimate voyeur in this three way..an attempt to have a family with three parents and an uneasy balancing act between two partners. You had to know that it would go off the rails but it is nonetheless something to behold.

What an amazing 8 years of footage for this documentary! They follow the lives of three people (two men and one woman) who decide to live together! In his early 20's, Sam Cagnina, the oldest son of a mafia hit man, meets Steven, a good looking 19 year old college student and they fall in love. They spend the next seven years looking for a woman they could both fall in love with..then they find that special someone in Samantha, a struggling actress, who falls in love with one of them and agrees to live with them in a trio relationship. You can't miss this remarkable true story that explores one unique family as they negotiate their living arrangements, have children and open one of the hottest wellness centers in New York City! With amazingly candid discussions about love, sex and partnership, the trio turns to the camera and reveals every aspect of their lives to both the audience and eventually to themselves. Added to my private collection!
