Overview

At a sizable public college, high-minded student Eddy is forced to room with the slovenly Stuart, but the pair strike up a surprising friendship. When attractive co-ed Alex is assigned to live with the two male students because of her gender-neutral name, a roundabout love triangle ensues. Eddy secretly yearns for Stuart, who wants Alex, but she prefers Eddy. The complex situation leads to sexual experimentation and strained relationships.

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.

Janet Maslin, New York Times
Rotten

Threesome, by falling into the common trap of mistaking pretentiousness for substance, loses its way early on.

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Fresh

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.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten

A tedious, toilet-talking, try-sexual tease.

Joe Brown, Washington Post
Rotten

The three become a giggly and rather insufferable bunch.

Desson Thomson, Washington Post
