Plot: You might expect a ménage à trois movie called Splendor to be some sort of steamy, soft-lit sex romp, but it is, in fact, a witty, sassy romantic comedy. Writer-director Gregg Araki set out to ...( read more read more... )make a '30s screwball comedy with a modern twist, and he's mostly succeeded. Splendor is brisk and funny, and if it seems a bit convenient that two guys could love (and sleep with) one woman without killing each other, it's all in the service something bigger--the story of a woman forced to choose between love and security. Kathleen Robertson has a certain impish charm (which unfortunately wears thin at times), Johnathon Schaech and Matt Keeslar are fun as the rivals who ultimately become best buds, but it's Eric Mabius who quietly steals every scene he's in as a TV movie director who's so thoughtful and kind, yet self-absorbed, that he might comfort his bride-to-be on their wedding day by sweetly telling her, "Honey, Amazon.com says I stole every scene I'm in, isn't that great?" --Geof Miller

    Much in the vein of "Threesome", Gregg seems to have pulled away from his usual shock tactics with this one and gone a little more easy viewing, but at the same time, it has Gregg's usual sureal settings...

    This is a decent but not time standing film about a girl who can't decide between a chain smoking intellect and a really dumb (but very hot) drummer.

    I seen gaps of Araki's movies since I was in high school, Doom Generation was good but very interesting view on teen anarchy, but for Splendor he took a different road. I have to say for indepedent it is good, I mean very good, not for the faint of heart but, its fun, its styllish, funny and in all that poses some questions to relationships in my opinion.
    Bottom line its a good, sexy, kinetic movie to get into, I love it, so does my 5 stars for it too. A
