  Threesome
Sometimes the threesome deliberately seems to encourage this through their public actions, but most of the time they seem oblivious to everyone else around them.
But ultimately the threesome has to resolve what their true feelings and goals are as individuals.
The film does have a message, which it delivers to the audience at the end, but you will have to judge for yourself what its significance or validity actually is.

  Threesome (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Threesome is a 1994 film, written and directed by Andrew Fleming.
Eventually, Alex, Stuart and Eddy agree to have an actual threesome and that seems to destroy the friendship, and raises the possibility that Alex might have become pregnant (suggesting that condoms were not used).
The film has also been viewed in a new light as one of a group of films marketed at Generation X, that were released in the early 1990s and which helped to pave the way for more openness in American cinema about human sexuality and more positive portrayals of gay characters.

 Amazon.com: Threesome (1994) : Video   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The comedy in Threesome is quirky and irreverent, offering an honest portrayal of young adults as they explore their own academic concerns while managing the tricky balance of dorm life, the latter an easier pastime given the freedoms that come with living away from home.
The moral in Threesome is that sex can complicate friendships and when all of them are faced with a difficult situation towards the end of the film, it is no surprise that the dilemma which leaves them reeling is enough to sever the closeness which they shared at the outset.
Threesome does not idealize friendship as if it was something permanent and stable, but offers a candid look at relations in which people can find mutuality and intimacy in short periods and that unforeseen circumstances which bring people together can be enough to provoke exploration.

In fact, most of the film is spent on the introspection of one homosexual student who tries to discover himself.
The film would have needed to focus on some aspects other than the sexual attraction between main characters in order to be about the students themselves.
Threesome is more of a look into sexuality than the lives of college students.

 dOc DVD Review: Threesome (1994) - Printable
I bring this up because during the sudden rush of "Gen-X" films that littered the Cineplex's during the early to mid 1990s, I never identified with the films that were to today's late-twentysomethings what the brat pack films were to kids growing up in the 80s.
Threesome tells the story of friends, one female and two males that, through the course of a school year, learn more about each other than they do in their classes.
Fleming is very candid as he talks about getting the film made and avoiding straight-to-video hell, as well as the same-sex aspect of the film and some of his personal stories pertaining to the situation.

 THREESOME - DVD
I liked the film then, for what it didn't reflect of my experiences it evoked, and its characters suggested people I had met at school, maybe myself at that point, in the exaggerated manner of political cartoons.
While Threesome behaves progressively about a lot of things (it is sexy and it isn't gutless), one side effect is that it encourages cliquedom, never really finding fault with the central coterie.
Threesome is thus barely more sophisticated than the coming-of-age romp Porky's, and Alex at times seems inspired by that film's Ms.

 Review: Threesome   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Threesome has a hook - it pairs two guys and a girl - but that's about all it can claim, and it ends up seeming like some sort of bizarre amalgamation of Ben Stiller's Reality Bites and Truffaut's Jules and Jim.
About the only thing that Threesome does well is to present homosexual relationships with the same degree of sensitivity that it depicts heterosexual ones (and note that this statement makes no claims about the depth of this movie's "sensitivity").
Threesome could have been devised as a stage play, with most of its content occurring within the confines of the dorm suite.

Don’t get too excited by the title of this film, while there are more than a few sexual situations, a bulk of the eroticism of the film is left up to the viewers imagination.
In the heat of the moment a group of school children bust onto the scene and break up the little flesh party — a nice touch was the wave of guilt that each of them felt and the repercussions of the events on their lives.
This is by far one of my favorite films featuring Boyle — for once she is allowed to have a character that is sexual without being a crazed stalker or in some weird, bizarre film that only 20 people have ever heard of.

 Tucson Weekly : Cinema : Threesome Gone Bad
Still, this film that deftly bridges the gap between a Cinemax late-night "erotic thriller" and an actual movie is deeply flawed, and will probably stand as one of Egoyan's minor works.
How the body got there, the sordid sexual antics that led to the woman's death, and the naked people who were involved in the pre-murder shenanigans all add up to a twisted tale that Egoyan presents in his usual nonlinear style.
What set those films apart was that their every thread tied together into perfect and perfectly sensible wholes.

The producers of director Atom Egoyan's controversial new film Where The Truth Lies have lost their appeal to overturn the restrictive NC-17 rating the movie was awarded.
The film, which premieres at the Toronto Film Festival in Canada next week, features a threesome sex scene between Kevin Bacon, Colin Firth and Rachel Blanchard, which censors have deemed "sexually explicit." Thrusting in the scene required the rarely used NC-17 rating, usually reserved for the most overtly controversial movies.

 Threesome (Wide Screen) DVD review - Time Out Film   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Fleming's risqué comedy has a rather supercilious, hipper-than-thou attitude which makes it difficult to warm to, while sequences in which the threesome freeze out interlopers leave a somewhat sour aftertaste.
And then, of course, in opening up this particular can of worms, the film courts suspicion from all sides of the sexual divide.
The film is, however, notably more relaxed about the shifting sands of sexual identity than most, and at the very least it does dare to eroticise a male friendship.) Simply as a comedy, it's witty and assured enough to mark Fleming out as someone to watch.

Even though it is an earlier film, Threesome shows none of the promise that would forecast his excellent next two movies, the funny and intelligent The Craft (1996) and Dick (1999).
The film's soundtrack is also available in Spanish, Portuguese, and French, with subtitles in English, Chinese, French, Korean, Spanish, and Thai.
While the ending in the film is a typical "whatever happened to..." montage with each character's boring life capsulized, the original ending was a surreal and strange fantasy scene.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Threesome   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Drama student Alex (Lara Flynn Boyle), business major Stuart (Stephen Baldwin) and film student Eddy (Josh Charles) are assigned a dorm room together because the computer system mistakes Alex for a man. Since no one's willing to move out, the three decide to wait out the year.
As with all movies that take place in college, you have to accept the standard falsities: Everyone who is supposedly in the 18-22 year old age group look about ten years older, dorm rooms are more like presidential suites than closets, and characters are never as self-conscious as normal 18-22 year olds are.
Putting those complaints aside, Threesome is about people exploring their sexuality at a young age, and the chemistry of the actors makes it appealing with all three leads believably confused and turned on — they make it feel real.

 Michelle Shocked - Threesome : album review
Back in 1986, folk music was still seen as the preserve of beardy men with a predilection for real ale and sticking a finger in their ear.
Released separately and as a box set, Threesome consists of Don't Ask Don't Tell (described by Shocked as "Short Sharp Shocked all grown up"), Got No Strings (a selection of Disney tunes sung in a swing style) and Mexican Standoff (a blues and Latin tinged collection of songs).
She's to be commended for her refusal to be pigeonholed, and even if not all of Threesome is a success, it's certainly a worthy listen from a woman who's been away for far too long.
