THE THREESOME MOVIE REVIEW
Have you ever had a crush on someone for so long that you’d be willing to do anything just to hook up with them intimately? Even agree to a third person being invited to the bedroom? Director Chad Hartigan and writer Ethan Ogilby answer this question with a sexy cast in The Threesome. After giving a romantic toast at his best friends’ wedding, Connor Blake (Jonah Hauer-King) is all hopped up on destiny and once again pines after his crush and often casual lover Olivia Capitano (Zoey Deutch). Expressing his love to her at the cafe in which she waitresses, he once again is given the cold shoulder and a reality check signed “Take the Hint”. He then finds himself flirting with Jenny Brooks (Ruby Cruz), a girl next door Christian who’s excited to live life to the fullest. When Olivia sees Connor finally seeming to move on, she springs into action and suggests the three have a fun night on the town. After clubbing, drinking, and some drugs, they go back to Connor’s place to really chill and feel the vibes of the moment. And, given the title, you can guess what comes next. But after the excitement, comes the post ménage à trois complications of feelings and other biological considerations. Our critics Bradly, Chris, and Felix pair up and get intimate with a rom-com that’s all shoulder and heart, and not so much naval and naughty. If you got a thing for clavicles though, watch out! The trio discuss the drama, the rom, and even the com in this cute and safe film about ambitious love.
DIRECTED BY: Chad Hartigan
STARRING: Zoey Deutch, Ruby Cruz, Jonah Hauer-King, Jaboukie Young-White, Josh Segarra, Arden Myrin, Robert Longstreet, Kristin Slaysman, Allan McLeod, Julia Sweeney
YOUR REVIEWERS
Bradly Martin (Screener Squad Boss, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)
Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and maybe even providing some comments of his own.
Christopher Ayres (Screener Squad)
Born and raised in the suburbs of Hinsdale, Illinois, Chris Ayres would constantly watch movies as a child, and that obsession has only grown over time, even attending Columbia Film School in Chicago during his last couple years of college. Whenever he’s not working his exhausting day job, he’s either watching as many movies as he can squeeze into his free time (preferably movies he’s never seen before due to a never-ending desire to expand his knowledge of the art form), or trying to turn people on to movies they haven’t seen that he thinks are worth their attention. You can find him on Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram and Letterboxd (look for AyresForce or AyresForceOne)
R.Felix Finch (Screener Squad)
A native of Sacramento, California, and having spent his post-pubescent years in Virginia, Nevada, Texas, and New York, Felix now finds himself pursuing his Juris Doctor at Emory University School of Law in Atlanta, Georgia. Nothing is more calming to Felix than the comfort of Chaos, as his time in professional wrestling and on other podcasts has demonstrated, and Felix brings a love for the most absurd outings in the realms of cinema, finding his escape in things such as the overly complex world of Jupiter Ascending and perusing the unbelievably low-budget offerings of Tubi, which Felix is fully convinced is a Psi-Op. In addition to finding Felix here on OneOfUs.net, you can Check him out on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube sharing his life in Law School as “TheBrokeLawStudent.”
