Threesome
Undergraduate roomies, two guys and a girl (the oldish-looking Lara Flynn Boyle, Stephen Baldwin, Josh Charles). One of the guys (wears a backwards baseball cap) is attracted to the girl (reads J.D. Salinger), but the girl is attracted to the other guy (attends a French Cinema class), but the other guy is attracted to the other guy. Oh, those crazy kids! Their, and the movie's, horizons hardly extend beyond the tight little triangle: takeout pizzas, shaving-cream fights, pop-song montages. Writer-director Andrew Fleming maintains a supreme and unbecoming confidence in the unsophistication of his audience: no point in even mentioning Jules and Jim by name, just capsulize its plot in a voice-over sentence or two ("Two's company, three's a crowd"). 1994.
