At a sizable public college, high-minded student Eddy (Josh Charles) is forced to room with the slovenly Stuart (Stephen Baldwin), but the pair strike up a surprising friendship. When attractive co-ed Alex (Lara Flynn Boyle) is assigned to live with the two male students because of her gender-neutral name, a roundabout love triangle ensues. Eddy secretly yearns for Stuart, who wants Alex, but she prefers Eddy. The complex situation leads to sexual experimentation and strained relationships.

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.

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

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.

This is passably entertaining, if ultimately rather shallow.

The old saying goes, "Two's company; three's a crowd." It's an adage that would have served Threesome writer-director Andrew Fleming well.

Whip smart, funny & sexy, this unfairly neglected gem is a totally satisfying mid-90's college dramedy.
