Wonderfully offbeat film!

Claysaba

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Robert Joyner

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I can always appreciate a good romantic comedy from the 90s, where people wore waist-high jeans with their shirts tucked in and over-sized leather jackets, not short of borrowing running shoes from the late 80s to complete the signature look. Men still slicked their hair back for that special date but weren't afraid to part a neat fringe in the middle on separate occasions, as if opening the curtains to the windows of their souls. A little (a lot) dramatic? This would eventually pave the way to a defining characteristic of the 90s, an era of overpopulated boy-bands pleading with girls around the world to quit playing games with their hearts - men who weren't afraid to let their hair down (so to speak), and ditch the mullet for some added empathy.Women on the other hand, quite simply put, were "doing it for themselves". Married or single, women had more freedom to play with at this point than ever before, and were slowly but surely climbing the corporate ladder with a newfound sense of value and independence. Dresses shared cupboard space with mini-dresses, denim overalls and crop-tops. Sexy met its match in the mini-skirt while plaid in general became crucial and defining.How the above ties in with 'Three of Hearts' begins with mainstream America's slow but evident growing stages of acceptance of gay and lesbian relationships in the early 90s. Although centred around the recent ending of a lesbian relationship, we never see any girl-on-girl action but that's okay because the relationship itself is successfully conveyed as being something very special and the essence is captured well. The acting was good and the humour not overly done like some 90s comedies and kids films like to do, but just a few things are left to questioning for me: 1) By omitting detail as to why Ellen broke up with Connie (other than "needing space"), I'm left wondering who to sympathise with more. 2) Is Connie intentionally trying to show Joe up with the plagiarised story issue and if not, how can she be so obviously obsessed with someone but not suspect Ellen to recognise the story when she is an expert in this field of literature, enough of an expert to lecture it to out-of-school-students? 3) Is it just about Ellen's classically modern beauty that makes Joe "want to be a better man?" and fall in love with her so suddenly because if it is, fair enough but if not, I cannot pinpoint exactly where the interest lies since Ellen doesn't do anything particularly spectacular to warrant such admiration from Joe so soon. In fact, I feel like Ellen's contribution to the story was far too underplayed and detached. This has nothing to do with Sherilyn though, who is beautiful enough to steal from the fact she is a great actress herself. 4) Who knew William Baldwin used to be so good looking?! (R must have mentioned it a dozen times and I agree!).The ending, I found to be weird. Again Connie seems so sure of herself and advises Joe to not give up on Ellen - she knows Ellen will come back to him if he tried reaching out for her. If this is how the film is wanting to show that Connie gives Joe her blessing, I am sure it could have been done in better ways than to seemingly show Joe up... again. The weirdness in the ending seems to balance things out, both of them don't get the girl. Great movie, otherwise. M

Honestly you can watch this thing in fast forward and still understand the gist of the movie, because that's exactly what I did. I think all the actors did a decent job (I've seen Kelly Lynch in other things and she's great), but the plot was wretched and the characters were flimsy. Who acts like these people? Here's a run down of the main characters: Connie: too over-the-top pathetic Ellen: Hot, but not interesting Joe: WTF!! The moral transformation- "bad boy turned good" was phony. Actually the only great character was played by Joe Pantoliano. Maybe the movie should have been about him and not these confused and hard-up people.

I didn't expect much of Three of Hearts; indications were that it was something of a dog, and both Billy Baldwin and Sherilyn Fenn aren't exactly reknowned for their choice of projects. So I was quite pleasantly surprised that the film turned out to be a savvy, passably witty little comedy. The locations are well used and both Baldwin and Fenn turn in entertaining performances. Towering above them, though, is Kelly Lynch. Funny, sassy and utterly adorable, she fits the part like a glove, and turns the potentially least interesting role of the threesome into a character to treasure. Inevitably, the film suffers a little when she is offscreen.6.5/10

Lesbian lover tries to win back the girl she loves and it's a male prostitute that will help accomplish this ?!This movie portrays love being universal in a way it can go from lesbian (in)to hetero and that, whatever you are, the feelings of love and despair are equal.That is exactly why I liked this movie. Not because there was much to laugh about or the value of "reality" or "morality".
