The Threesome

Wow. I saw this as part of a Screen Unseen preview and didn't know what movie it was going to be. It's September and rated R so there was a good chance it could be early horror for Halloween but the duration was an even 90 minutes which felt like it could be a comedy (NOTE: AMC only tells you the rating and film length). Once the title came up, I felt confident it was meant to fall into the comedy category and might even lean raunchy.

Nope, this is a non-raunchy comedy with no nudity or sex scenes to speak of. Rather, depending on your personal situation and views could arguably be considered a horror although there are no deaths in the movie either.

I don't always know what is going to happen in a movie but sometimes I can see what is coming. In this movie, I was surprised multiple times. There are definitely moments of humor and a love story intertwined and a lot of heart-felt situations as well. The challenge is going to be the absurdity of some of it but, also, I've been around long enough to know - this could readily be a true story in Florida.

By the time you're a 3rd of the way in, it's hard to see how there could be any truly unanimous happy ending and, for many audience go-ers, I think it won't be a happy ending for them. But for some few, including me, it could be seen as a happy ending with the promise of hope - although you need to watch all the way through the credits to get the final ending.

For me, I liked it quite a bit but I can easily see how this could be very polarizing for audiences depending on your beliefs and demographics.

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.

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.

(Please 🙏 listen to us 'haters'! Because trust me I giving it my fair judgement. And I love rom coms as much as the next girl.)

Let me focus on the positive to say the least because there is very few. The actors are extremely goodlooking and it made me do a light ha randomly. But that's it.

The premise is basically a watered down version of knocked up, but make it 2x. But this version is way less funny. And the man is 'madly' in love with one of them. But he's trying his best for the both! He's just some poor guy, man. 🙄 If the writing was focused more in the dynamic of the three, this would've been a very fun film. But they made that more a sub plot. And focused on I don't even know. It was all over the place. This is close to a 2hr film and I can't tell you a single thing about these characters except for surface level stuff. Plus, this movie DRAGS. By the time you're done watching this film, the suspension of belief. It's broken way too many times. And a plot twist becomes extremely predictable. The whole thing feels like I could've made the story with my Sims.

It's just feels like a better quality camera student film. And I have seen my share of those. This tried to be more than what it is too. Save your energy, pick something else.

Someone mentioned this in one of the other reviews: One, there's a bunch of montages actually. But One of the montages is to the characters are dating after the inciting incident. And the film through a montage of changes of seasons, but cut to when they find out that they're pregnant it's only been 6 weeks! How? How it's it possible to go through summer, fall and winter in only a month and a half? What the hell is the timing of this stupid film? It's all over the place.

I probably wouldn't have seen this if it wasn't the Monday mystery movie, it was cheesy and awkward often. Some of the acting by Connor was off but otherwise great movie. Crazy how most audience stayed but some left that was understandable I'm shocked this got a theater release it doesn't deserve it but I liked the characters and sometimes was goofy not much else.
