Thought-provoking and emotional

"I rented the movie on a whim, expecting it to be B-rated, but hoping for better nonetheless. It completely surprised me by having real depth and meaning.
The characters are complex and well developed -- you understand why they do what they do. The relationships are REAL, messy, emotional. Yeah, the story is based around the idea of a threesome, but there is nothing shallow about it. And there is no nudity, yet it still manages to be quite sensual, which I consider a compliment of the acting rather than any detraction.
For me, the thing that took this movie from okay to fantastic was how the characters reacted to the disintegration of the relationship(s). I don't want to give anything away, so I can't really say more about that.
The acting amazed me -- the three main characters were each incredible, and even the side characters had a lot of depth. You could sense the stories that didn't get told."
UNoriginal!!!

"A straight guy who wants to have a female-dominant threesome? Let's see: this has already been done in "Trois" and "Just One Time." Just as those movies stunk, so does this one. This movie could have been called "The Look-alike Film." The main character looked like he could have been Brendan Fraser's fatter brother. The Spanish student was obviously a Penelope Cruz imitation. In fairness, one guy may have been the actual tattooed guy from "Oz," the one on death row.
This film says it has "sexual content," but it could have run on non-cable TV. There is no nudity whatsoever. The plot is predictable. I am in shock that a movie whose cover looked so titillating could be such a disappointment. This work really and truly lacked redeeming qualities."
Bad screenplay with cliched storyline, poor dialog, cast, di

"nothing good here. need iron-will patience to sit through watching this multi-cliched bad movie. meaty faced married teaching guy met die-hard fatal attraction long-faced female student from spain, and he just got his 2nd wedding anniversary? boring dialog, bad casting and performances....so, what else is new? do we need one more of this cliched movie imaging on the big screen or straight to the dvd rentals? guess not. thought provoking? definitely not."
