Critics Consensus

Threesome's titillating title belies a dreadfully dull drama whose attractive stars are handily outmatched by a shallow script.

The characters lack substance and development and, in the end, not only don't we care about them, but we'd sure like them to go away. Fast. Go to Full Review

Fleming's vision may be less tony than the overrated Best Foreign Film, but it's truer. And a lot more fun. Go to Full Review

1/5
The film is so proud of its alleged daring that it even begins with a dictionary definition of the word 'deviant.' 'Sitcom' would have been more like it. Go to Full Review

This is passably entertaining, if ultimately rather shallow. Go to Full Review

Erin M Aug 19 Great movie!!! I used to watch this with my roommates living off campus university. it’s always a good laugh and very indicative of how much you hang with roomies at school once you leave the nest after teenagehood.

But the plot is contrived and the characters are stereotypes. See more @jeroduptown 08/13/2021 3 college roommates trying to figure themselves out in a totally 90s love triangle. See more 06/16/2020 Lame Gen-X film in which the only real saving grace is its soundtrack. See more 07/11/2016 This film is reflective - both of the 90s college experience, and of the way things were when coming out during that time for young men. If that's what you're looking for, I recommend it. See more Read all reviews
