When Alex (Lara Flynn Boyle) ends up in the adjoining suite because of her mannish name, all three students fall into an overheated friendship that provides cover for no less than three unrequited loves. Alex, a sexpot who's turned on by big words, falls hard for intellectual Eddy, who's actually pining away for the ripped, oversexed Stuart, who's got the hots for Alex. As the three friends try unsuccessfully to alleviate their collective sexual and romantic tension, dorm-desk workers Dick (Alexis Arquette) and Renay (Martha Gehman) become convinced that there's something kinky going on -- and they may just be right. ~ Brian J.

Critic Reviews
-
Janet Maslin, New York Times
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.
-
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Threesome, by falling into the common trap of mistaking pretentiousness for substance, loses its way early on.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Not a great movie, but in its own way it is an effective one, and more than most other movies it is accurate and honest about the sexuality of young people.
-
Joe Brown, Washington Post
A tedious, toilet-talking, try-sexual tease.
-
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
The three become a giggly and rather insufferable bunch.
