Review of Splendor

Splendor (1999)
9/10
Heart-Warming Comedy for the new era
27 August 2003
Warning: Spoilers
SPOILER: Boy meets Girl meets Boy, Girl gets scared, Boys lose Girl, lots of soul-searching, Boys win Girl back, everyone lives happily ever after.

And that's what is so unusual about this film. It really is a film about love; it just happens that there's two love stories going on at the same time. The film confronts the question of what happens if you really do love two people at the same time, and how society reacts. All this insight, and a fast-moving mature comedy to boot.

Every other Threesome movie ends in a judgemental collapse of the triangle. Its conclusion leaves "Splendor" in a genre of its own.
