The Threesome

Saw this Monday night mystery movie in Orlando. Its was very funny yet brought a level of the fact things happen for a reason. Reminds me of the days before the internet and going to Kendal Square cinema 🎥 in Cambridge Massachusetts. Lots of great finds like this little gem was. Go see it its well worth it. Lea Thompsons daughter is just as funny as her mom.

Stay through the credits! So we saw this early and had no idea what to expect. At first it seemed like a fun, lighthearted comedy, but quickly it became a more heartfelt and complex situation. There are beautiful relationships here- sisterhood, friendship, sexual connections, parent /adult-child dynamics, romantic love, all of it. The casting is fantastic, the jokes land, and there are no easy outs. The audience was laughing out loud, and also all gasped out loud... it felt like a fun shared experience to see this in a theater. My husband can always predict what's going to happen and he said that wasn't the case here. We genuinely enjoyed this one.

No sex scenes at all but still just as awkward, staring 3 "nepo-babies" and 2 pregnancies. Most of the this love-less triangle is spent on one couple trying desperately to leverage an unplanned pregnancy into a relationship. But as anyone out of high school, and not staring in this film, knows you can't reform the bad-boy or save the broken-girl with "daddy issues", change must come from within. Whether that change actually occured is up to the audience to decide by the end of the film. The moral of the story is beware of casual sex, especially unprotected, because your partner may be immature, a selfish witch, or an emotional masochist. Bloopers are shown thoroughout the credits including a story impacting post-credit scene.

If you told me that a movie literally titled The Threesome was not only going to be hilarious but also grounded, mature, and frankly pretty beautiful, I would've thought you were crazy.

Let's start with the obvious, this movie is so funny. Almost every joke lands, several times I was laughing obnoxiously loud. Generationally hilarious performance from Zoey Deutch in this. I am baffled on how she isn't in more movies. I challenge you to think of a single movie where she wasn't the best part of it. She is so incredibly funny. Don't get me wrong, the other actors were funny too. Jabouki Young-White was super funny as Greg, and Ruby Cruz gave me some good laughs, but Zoey Deutch really carried it for me.

The movie was frankly sweet as hell! It's not easy to make a movie about a threesome turned double pregnancy into a heartwarming story about all the messy catches that come with being in love. Hate to keep beating a dead horse but Zoey Deutch nailed the heartfelt scenes as well! Truly, hats off to whoever decided to cast her in this because good lord was she great.

Saying that the movie The Threesome was shockingly mature sounds like an oxymoron but alas here we are. A big topic of this movie was abortion. And it looked at it, in such a real, profound way. It never turned into a pro-life MAGA thing, but it didn't romanticize abortion either. That's a tough, sad decision for someone to make. And someone should have every right to not want to get an abortion out of their own moral beliefs, as someone should have the right to get one. Ruby Cruz's character was originally portrayed as this "anti-abortion religious freak" but as you get to know her, it's just her fears and beliefs. She would judge herself for getting one, but she never once even hints that she doesn't believe in the right to, just that it isn't for her. This movie was really what being pro-choice is all about. The choice.

I was lucky enough to see this movie early, so that I can tell you guys, ignore the haters! This movie is awesome! It's a fun, rated R, romcom, that also makes you really think about love and relationships, what else could you ask for?

This is a movie that shouldn't have been made. A serious subject treated like a fluffy marshmallow s'more. Spoiler Questions; 1. Wouldn't a normal person ask for a paternity test first? 2. If the man I just married hung out with his best friend more than me, wouldn't I start asking questions? 3. How could it be summertime with everyone in t-shirts and the very next day have snow on the ground? 4. What is funny about getting 2 women preggers at the same time?

You get the picture. The picture is offensive, poorly written, horrendously directed, and career breakers for the whole cast. Save yourself the two hours. Go read a book instead.
