The Threesome (2025)

Ever since "Set It Up" completely stole my heart as one of the most criminally underrated rom-coms of the past decade, I've been absolutely obsessed with Zoey Deutch! There's something magical about her perfect storm of comic timing, irresistible charm, and emotional depth that makes her feel like she was literally born for this genre. Sure, being Hollywood royalty doesn't hurt (her dad's director Howard Deutch, and her mom is "Back to the Future" icon Lea Thompson—and wow, the resemblance is uncanny!). But what really sets Zoey apart isn't just her incredible pedigree—it's her genius for picking indie scripts that let her showcase her incredible range. From Clint Eastwood collaborations to hidden festival treasures, she has this uncanny ability to find projects that matter.

So when I spotted "The Threesome" with its deliciously scandalous premise, I knew I had to catch it during its limited theatrical run. The theater was practically empty, but I'm so glad I went—because this feels like one of those underrated indies that people will rediscover years from now and wonder why we weren't all screaming about it!The setup sounds wonderfully simple: Connor (Jonah Hauer-King), this sweet but completely indecisive sound engineer, has been nursing a massive crush on Olivia (Zoey Deutch), a razor-sharp waitress who lives for chaos and unpredictability. One fateful night, after way too many drinks, they cross paths with Jenny (Ruby Cruz), a grad student who radiates this fascinating mix of innocence and curiosity. A seemingly innocent game of truth-or-dare pushes all the boundaries, and suddenly all three end up tangled together in bed. What starts as the ultimate fantasy setup for a raunchy sex comedy completely implodes when both women discover they're pregnant from that wild night. Connor's dream becomes his absolute worst nightmare, and now all three have to face the brutal consequences of a decision they can't take back.
