Trois

I must admit that when I sat down in the movie theater to see "Trois" I didn't quite know what to expect. What with a title like "Trois" which is short for ménage à trois, I was preparing myself to both be shocked and a little thrilled at the love scenes. While I did get that thrilling love scene that I was expecting I also got much more, the chance to see black folk in a complex movie role. I have grown tired of us always being cast as the comedian or the bad person on the silver screen and this movie is a breath of fresh air in that it explores one on one relationships between black folk. While this movie left a lot to be desired in the area of cinematography and acting, it is the right step toward more black dramas. We've got to start somewhere.

This movie was an outrageous waste of time. The acting was either over the top or totally flat. The plot twists had nothing to do with the actual theme of the movie and the plot itself just seemed to drag along going nowhere until the end. Also, why did the wife stick with her perverted husband for so long after she knew he was an unfaithful pig? She seemed too smart to be that naive. A woman that fine deserves better (Hey, I'm single!). The only bright spot in the whole movie was Kenya Moore and not for acting, but because she is so beautiful. I don't want to sound like a pervert, but why did her husband in this movie need to have another woman when his wife had a rack like that? She is my dream wife and would be more than enough to satisfy me. My advice is don't waste your time with this movie; the plot makes no sense, the acting was at best mediocre, and the love scenes were too tame.

Trois is a sexy thriller about the before and after-math of a threesome (two girls and a guy). The participants are a young Black married couple in Atlanta who seek to spice up their love life and an openly bisexual woman who wants to keep custody of her son. This film admirably attempts to explore the complex dynamics of monogamous sexuality, from sexual preference to sexual power. The gravest downfall is the attempt to combine too many twists and turns that don't pay off or gel well with the story's initial tone.

Very badly made film in terms of directing,screenplay,script and acting.It does not even have much originality as it is a rip off of FATAL ATTRACTION.Still,it could have been much better in it's promise to be a good sexual thriller but alas,the movie was just handled poorly.Yes,the lead actors were very good looking but they had very amateurish skills,just like the poor skills of the movie makers around them.Avoid this one at all cost......

Gretchen Palmer does not deserve this - although some may feel different seeing her try to act in this. I do believe I have seen her being way better than here - no pun intended. Must be a combination of script and set conditions I imagine.

Sometimes you also have to take on roles, you do not really believe in - just to pay the rent. Might have been one of those situations. Interestingly enough, this seems to have been succesful enough to spur 2 sequels. Both showing way more skin than this does. Which I didn't mind by the way - it is the acting and the dialog that is so cringeworthy, that it almost hurts physically.

So never mind the erotic scenes where all the "best" parts are covered. "Clothed" scenes can be quite erotic too - and I would argue the main love scene is just that. The scene that seemingly gets the whole thing going on. The whole thing that could have been avoided, if ... but the last twist almost kind of saves the whole movie. Still even that never really reaches any height it imagines it does.
