 Girls day out!Dec 29, 2000
My buddies and I made a special day of eating lunch, and going to Magic Johnson's movie theater to see this movie called TROIS. Let me tell you the place was packed full of people and everyone within ear shot let it be known that they enjoyed the movie. My friends and I talked about the movie so much that many of our co-workers went to see it. I am going to get it on DVD and we are going to have another girls weakened and watch the alternate ending. Can't wait! Sure it wasn't the best acting in the world nor the best quality production that I've ever seen- however, with more support from the public, films like this will eventually get the financial backing they deserve. It was very nice to see a movie with a twist, and a twist, and another twist!

A Flawed "Trois" Worth SeeingJan 08, 2001
By Lawson Brooks
Jermaine, that lucky dog. He has a new wife in the understatedly beautiful Kenya Moore, who lovingly waits for him to come home so that she can shower him with affection and whatever else he asks. He also lives in a large modern home somewhere in Atlanta and he has a job in which he is obviously well paid for sitting agonizingly at his desk all day hunched over the same set of papers hoping to have the opportunity to manage,"the Deal". Lord knows, let alone the audience, what's "the Deal. With none of this apparantly satisfying him, he feels the need to bring another woman into his bedroom in order to enhance his and his mate's sex life. Even more amazing, the woman that he pursues in this quest is not the fairest of the maidens. It's at this point I'm ready to make a call to have a contract taken out on him so that Kenya will have an opportunity at a more deserving fate. It took the entire film for me to figure out just what Jermaine did for a living even though numerous scenes were shot in his work environment and oblique references were made. Moreover, Gary Dourdan as Jermaine, ambles throughout the film with an incessant grimace on his face as if his underwear was on too tight. As for Kenya Moore, what she lacks in acting skill she more than makes up for it in the negligee scene. The only real acting fireworks are provided by Gretchen Palmer's Jade and Solomon K Smith as Terrence. My other gripes include the sex scene which lacked the passion I expected and the inadequately researched and staged courtroom scenes, not to mention the hammy supporting acting. Having said all of that I must admit that I actually enjoyed watching the film "Trois". It once again brought home the message of be careful what you wish for because you just might get it. Successful in his quest to introduce his wife to the experience of a threesome, Jermaine endures a series of unexpected consequences that offers some very interesting and suprising plot twists that help the movie overcome some of its deficiencies. Given the paucity of vehicles in the creative marketplace for African-American filmmakers and actors, it's great to see efforts such as this even when they fall short. Personally, I'm always happy to see a Black film that's "Not'N The Hood". Consequently, "Trois" with all of its faults is definitely not a crowd.

"Trois" is a "Must See"Sep 29, 2000
By Adam Bush
This is a movie that is very entertaining just from the sheer concept of it all. I am really glad to see that it is now available on DVD because this is a movie that is worth owning a copy of. I found this movie to be kind of a cross between "Indecent Proposal" and "Fatal Attraction" with a touch of Black spice. Kenya Moore is sexy enough to send a shiver down any man's spine. "Trois" is very provocative if you let your mind escape into the movie...I understand that this movie was filmed on a low budget but then again, so was "She's Gotta Have It". I know of several other people that were curious about "Trois" and ended up enjoying the movie. Now that it's available on DVD, I'll be able to whip it out whenever the time is right.

Worth taking the time to seeNov 21, 2000
At first, I was somewhat of a skeptic. I was afraid that this movie was going to be about nothing more than just "SEX". When you hear men on TV Shows talk about how great it would be to have a threesome I thought, "oh great, another Springer moment"; however, this movie is just the opposite. I saw this movie as an educational experience. Sure, some people may find being with two people as erotic (and time consuming), but they never think about what may happen after that one-night of carefree sex has been committed. Would you find the experience exciting or just another note to chalk up on your "I've learned from my mistakes, and I'll never do that again" list? This is a must see movie for anyone who doesn't take the time to answer that one question that lingers in the back of our minds, "What will happen once it's all said and done"? The ending is a shocker, but it makes you think.

An Excellent Thriller MovieNov 15, 2001
I would highly recommend this must-see movie. Trois could be seen as a fantasy for most men, but be careful what you wish for. The very buxom Kenya Moore held her own as a naive wife and Gretchen Palmer's role was hot, and convincing. The movie's ending was electric and will catch you totally off guard. I'm definitely adding this movie to my DVD collection!
