I think what makes this film work is the chemistry between the three main characters. You like these characters, feel with them and believe that they would get along in real life like they do in the movie. The concept is clearly quite controversial, and I guess that's why it's so unpopular. I like the way it isn't really all resolved in the end... there is always a tiny degree of imperfection. The plot at times appears to have been written with the primary intention of being controversial rather than entirely realistic, emotionally or otherwise. I'm not sure if that's true, or it just seems that way. The pacing is pretty good. You're rarely bored. The clever dialog and script keeps your interest as well as consistently making you laugh. The film somehow makes you care about these characters, despite their many shortcomings and flaws. Maybe it's because they're human... we can identify with them, more than usually with American films(that are often shallow). The direction is pretty good. The film pretty much belongs in the 'good, but not entirely sure why' category. You like what you see, but you can't pin-point exactly why. All in all, a pretty good romance-comedy that should be seen by anyone open-minded enough to enjoy it. I recommend this to anyone who isn't offended by the topic(and not easily offended in general) but particularly to those who are fans of one or more of the main actors. 7/10

Intellectual Eddy (Josh Charles) is a junior transfer student. He is assigned to be a dorm roommate to crass womanizing Stuart (Stephen Baldwin). The odd couple eventually develops an equilibrium until the arrival of theater student Alex (Lara Flynn Boyle) for the third room in the suite. While the building is co-ed, the rooms are not. An error in the system had made Alex a boy and there is a wait to transfer her to another room. Stuart is into Alex but she hates him. Alex is into Eddy but he actually has secret gay feelings for Stuart. The sexual triangle faces a bumpy ride.

The language is quite explicit. It doesn't shy away from its sexual subject matter. Some of this feels like a sitcom. The saving grace are the three beautiful young actors having combative sexy fun. It's essentially a rom-com with three people. It's not high cinema but the three actors are charismatic and enjoyable. The sexual symmetry leads to some fun moments.

If this is what your college experience is supposed to be like, forget it. These type of films have nothing whatsoever to do with such an experience. To say that they have missed the true meaning of the college years is to put it mildly.

Thank the Lord that Josh Charles grew up, matured and has landed the prime role of Will Gardner in "The Good Wife."

This picture, to put it mildly, is the pits. What are we supposed to say, that it's the sexual coming out of a menage a trois? The whole concept was ridiculous at best.

I think that the film would have been better off had Ms. Boyle not entered the film and the movie dealt with the exploits of two guys sharing a room, both of whom had absolutely nothing in common with each other.

When will they make a movie that shows you the difficulty of college life insofar as academics?
