Reviews

Armand one of nice films about high school in easy manner. good looking actors, sentimental chaotic existence, an error and the pieces of strong friendship. nothing original but a smart script and few not bad actors are pillars for a comedy who could be good choice for an evening Sunday. the confusion as basis of the events, the levels of love, the life of characters as bricks of same circle, the hilarious situations and the realistic characteristics of heroes are interesting details for not a great film but surely a seductive one. the gay impulse does the story different by many films from same genre and Josh Charles is an inspired option for the role of Eddy. in same measure,the rude Stuart by Stephen Baldwin is realistic and almost soul of story.
Ankur Mukherjee 'Threesome' is one such film that you simply cannot overlook or avoid. Films like this are very rare to witness these days where the plot is very simplified and revolves around just three college friends and their self discoveries. Very, in fact very rare films focus on college life in such a close manner and this film is much more than just three college friends in a room. In brief, 'Threesome' is the perfect example of a simplified cinema with a neat and perfect execution in every sense, from the precise direction by Andrew Fleming to the brilliant performances by Josh Charles, Lara Boyle and Stephen Baldwin.Charles, Boyle and Baldwin deliver one of their very best performances here, easily giving you the impression that you are just witnessing three friends and not the actors. The chemistry between these three is very touching and strong enough to keep your eyes glued to the screen, making you a part of their journey throughout the film. Its a film that gets better and better on repeated viewings, trust me you will never get enough of it, its really a ride. A 9.9 out of 10!
Jake-219 (spoiler alert) Not that I actually think I'm going to reveal anything this time around, but this is my first review in awhile and I've just discovered that IMDb insists that you put a warning up here.Of all the movies I've seen, of all the films that I love, this would seem to be the one that's most misunderstood on here.For some reason a lot of people (even Stephen Baldwin, one of the stars in the thing who's since gotten religion, and is now disavowing the film) think this is some kind of soft-porn film. It isn't, not at all.So half the people, the ones that wanted it to be a porn film, are disappointed, and the other half, without even having bothered seeing the film, say that it's immoral.This isn't a porn film at all. It's about friendship. It's one of the most on-the-mark movies about friendship that I've ever seen.Is there sex involved? Yes, of course. In case you've never noticed, we (and every other critter on the planet) are sexual beings, it's an urge in all of us.And if anyone would actually watch the film and just pay attention, it isn't all about overcoming inhibitions and setting free your desires; by the end of the film it becomes apparent that there are prices to be paid. (Well, I guess that was a spoiler, of sorts. But what's with this "spoiler" thing, anyway? There isn't a film book in the world that discusses, say, "Psycho" without giving away the ending! Since when has it become so important to not say anything about the movie? Hell, "Threesome" is about two guys and a girl..."SHHH!!! You're spoiling it for me!" LOL) Anyway, it has a very witty yet believable script and wonderful performances by all the actors (including, I must add, one of the most erotic scenes I've ever seen in my life, the one in the library. This might not be porn, but Lara was hot as hell back then!) And, by the end (if you're paying attention, and not assuming or hoping that it was a porn film) you're left on this terribly moving bittersweet note. Times change, people move on.This was a wonderful movie (if misunderstood), much better than its immediate rival that came out around the same time, "Reality Bites." In the end, the thing that the film is truly about is how ephemeral things can be. It can't show you, vividly, how things can fall apart, it can't make you feel for them or what will happen to and between them without spending the first 80 or so minutes putting them together. After all of that, you realize the tragedy and frailty of friendships and loves.And, in the end, that is truly what the movie is about.And, in the end, that's what life is all about.
ekeby This movie is a charmer. I suspect you have to be American, or have an American sensibility, to fully appreciate this film. I can easily see Europeans wondering what there is to be conflicted about, and I can see people from developing countries finding it a depiction of something that could never happen. Believe me, it can and does. The three young actors, all now much better known for other roles, play characters who will seem very real to you--especially if you can remember back to the sturm and drang of your college years.The dialog is as sharp and clever as anything you will hear anywhere. There is a scene where a naive girl, who has been brought to a threesome dinner party by one of the boys, flees the room in tears. Alex (Lara Flynn Boyle) gives a raucous, malicious laugh and then says dryly, "I like her." It's a stunning moment, and drop dead funny.I hope this film eventually gets the attention it deserves. It is seriously neglected, certainly one of the most entertaining movies of its decade. In the gay community, this movie seems pretty much unknown. Which is a shame, because a gay audience would really get this movie.
