The Threesome felt a lot like the kind of movie Judd Apatow was making back in the day: An unapologetically raunchy and subversive dramedy. It also reminded me of the Netflix show "Love"(produced by Apatow), which was great. You might find the movie a bit frustrating, if you expect it to be a super clever, well rounded dramedy with a brilliant social commentary, because this movie is not that at all, and that's precisely what i liked so much about it.
This is a very unpretentious, self contained type movie, with a pretty straightforward narrative that's easy to follow. I think this was relatively cheap to make (by Hollywood standards), and they probably filmed the whole thing pretty quickly, i liked how authentic and concise the movie was, the direction style reminded me of movies like Juno and other 2000s indie dramedies, that being said the movie also gave me some Jason Reitman vibes.
The main cast was great, specially the two female leads, they brought a lot of charm and nuance to their characters, the guy who played the male lead was also pretty good, all the actors looked like they were having a good time making this movie. The plot fell a bit off the rails in the third act, with some poor creative choices for the characters, it could have been much better, but i liked the overall tone, most of the jokes landed and the romantic and dramatic scenes were well acted and directed.
In short, this is not the type of movie that will revolutionise filmmaking, or start particularly constructive conversations about relationships and paternity, because it doesn't need to. The Threesome is a good throwback, it remained me of that time in the late 2000s and early 2010s when a lot of raunchy dramedies popped up, with the sole intention of entertain, and this movie entertained me alright.
