Freeze Frame: "Twinless" (R), "The Threesome" (R), "Eenie Meanie" (R)
Update: 2025-09-05
Description
The very adult comic drama "Twinless" is about a straight man named Roman, played by Dylan O'Brian whose twin brother dies in an accident. He befriends a gay man named Dennis, played by James Sweeney whom he meets in a support group for people who have lost a twin. Problem is, Dennis carries some dark secrets. Sweeney does triple-duty as writer/director and star, doing well in all departments. He cast himself as the troubled, self-loathing man who has trouble admitting the truth to his new friend. It doesn't all work but is well-acted and smart. For open minded audiences, “Twinless” is a thoughtful look at grief and self-deception.
Chalk up "The Threesome" as yet another very adult comic drama. Zoey Deutch, Jonah Hauer-King and Ruby Cruz star in the awkward tale of young people who have an alcohol-fueled menage a trois and... guess what? Serious complications follow. The movie is a bit better than its premise might suggest, and the cast is very appealing. Problem is, it strives to find rom-com footing in a story that might be better suited to a darker drama. “The Threesome” is a nice try, but some of the plot consequences don't quite ring true.
The tongue-in-cheek Hulu thriller "Eenie Meanie" hoped to be a female version of the action epic "Baby Driver," but didn't quite hit those heights. Samara Weaving is fine as a former getaway driver who reluctantly goes for one more caper to protect her reckless boyfriend from mobsters, headed up by Andy Garcia. “Eenie Meanie” is very familiar and very decadent but is somewhat redeemed by its game cast.
