Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

I wouldn't call it the best bisexual movie I've seen to be honest because I felt the character development among the three stooges were all over the place. Eddie is meant to like guys right and then suddenly backs them away to prove that he isn't gay. After all the complaining of being too closeted, he has sex with Stuart and Alex. I just felt like there should've been more thought when Andrew Fleming created the character. It's like he just wants him to be a whiny boy who in the end, never has gotten a partner all along. On the positive side, the sex scene's were really hot and romantic. I actually would've loved to have seen more instead of a few times because yknow it is a romantic bisexual movie all along!I would say this is a good chick flick movie and entertaining I guess. Maybe if I was watching this with a crowd of people, then I would've given this a 9 rating...

This movie is a charmer. I suspect you have to be American, or have an American sensibility, to fully appreciate this film. I can easily see Europeans wondering what there is to be conflicted about, and I can see people from developing countries finding it a depiction of something that could never happen. Believe me, it can and does. The three young actors, all now much better known for other roles, play characters who will seem very real to you--especially if you can remember back to the sturm and drang of your college years.The dialog is as sharp and clever as anything you will hear anywhere. There is a scene where a naive girl, who has been brought to a threesome dinner party by one of the boys, flees the room in tears. Alex (Lara Flynn Boyle) gives a raucous, malicious laugh and then says dryly, "I like her." It's a stunning moment, and drop dead funny.I hope this film eventually gets the attention it deserves. It is seriously neglected, certainly one of the most entertaining movies of its decade. In the gay community, this movie seems pretty much unknown. Which is a shame, because a gay audience would really get this movie.

This is one of those movies that you stumble across on HBO, and walk away glad that you watched it.I'm not sure exactly what made this movie so great. I think because it was funny, it had a great story line, it gave the characters an extreme sense of sexuality, it reminded me of myself at times, and lastly.......it hinted on what and what NOT to do with women if you want to be successful.It's one of those movies that I agree, is not for young kids, and not for people over 35. I just really got a feel for the characters, and it kept my attention the entire movie.Overall, I'd say that this movie felt real to me. I felt I could relate to the characters, and nothing about this movie was far fetched. It's just one of those movies that you have to see to understand why it's captivating. And see why and how women are attracted to men that they can't have, or create a challenge.

Due to a computer mix up female Alex (Lara Flynn Boyle) has to share a dorm apartment with two men--sex-obsessed Stuart (Stephen Baldwin) and nice, quiet Eddy (Josh Charles). She begins to fall in love with Eddy but he reveals to her that he's gay--maybe (he's still a virgin). They all become fast friends and make a pact NOT to have sex with each other. But Alex is still in love with Eddy--and Eddy is very attracted to hunky Stuart...Almost perfect comedy/drama. For its time, this was groundbreaking. This was a rare Hollywood film that brought up gay characters and issues and did NOT ignore them or "miraculously" make the character straight. SPOILER ALERT!!!!! It is revealed that Eddy IS gay and is happily with a boyfriend at the end of the movie! I remember seeing this in a theatre and being stunned in 1994. NO Hollywood film had ever done that before (letting a gay character stay gay AND be happy). Even today that's a rare occurrence--back in 1994 it was unheard of. For this alone this movie should be better known. END SPOILER ALERT!!!Sexual politics aside it's also a damn funny movie. The characters are believable, the dialogue is frank and VERY adult (this is NOT for kids) and the movie moves quickly--never a dull moment. Boyle was young (24) when she made this. Her performance is great and she looks incredible (unlike now where she looks seriously anorexic); Charles is letter perfect as Eddy--you see has pain and conflict as he comes to terms with his sexuality; even Baldwin is good! His character is an obnoxious jerk but he has his sweet moments and really pulls them off. But it's his character that prevents me from giving this movie a 10. His character IS a real jerk and his sick jokes and comments really wore me down. Also there is a scene between him and Charles which is just bristling with homo eroticism--and the film stops it. I can accept that though--back in 1994 a mainstream audience couldn't have dealt with two guys going at it.Sadly this film bombed in 1994 (a bad ad campaign didn't help matters). This Definitely deserves rediscovery. Exceptional film that deals honestly with college kids and sexual politics. Well worth seeing.
