The Threesome continues the 2025 trend of absurd and over-the-top stories that serve as a backdrop for romcoms. The title of this movie is actually incredibly misleading. It isn't some sex comedy but an actual sincere attempt at a romcom with a focus on a completely different topic than sex. I actually thought the movie's sincere moments landed better than in some other recent movies, utilizing the silly inciting event to try and explore different aspects of relationships. It isn't a joke-per-minute comedy, though there is some light humor peppered throughout. Zoey Deutch does a good job playing the manic pixie girl, and her acting and character are the real anchors for the entire movie. Ruby Cruz is always great, but she feels more like a plot device than an actual fleshed out character. The real letdown, and source of most of this movie's problems, is the main male character. Jonah Hauer-King is simply not great. His blank stare and soft-spoken approach fail to give him the emotional weight or dimensions to really balance the movie, and he is outclassed throughout when sharing the screen. He just feels like a void, and it is noticeable when moments that should land completely fail because it is hard to buy his character's emotions. This movie desperately needed a better actor to play off Ruby Cruz and Zoey Deutch. Overall, despite the misleading title and soap-opera nature of the framing story, I actually found the story kind of endearing once you realize what it is actually exploring, even if the acting is uneven.
