It’s the classic boy meets girl, except girl meets girl…meets boy then boy, then boy. Maxine’s never been in a relationship. Lena’s never been in a relationship with another woman. When Maxine asks her to be her girlfriend, Lena’s all in with one concern: she doesn’t see herself having sex with one person for the rest of her life. So they make a pact to find a man to have a threesome with. It’ll be easy, right? Guys are so simple. Turns out it’s not as simple as they think. With each uniquely crazy experience, they get closer to sealing the deal, but only if they can figure out what they really want - and how to find it with each other.

Film Review by Rhonda (at )Ouchmagazine
In an era where romantic comedies often struggle to find fresh angles on love and commitment, this film arrives with a premise that feels both contemporary and provocative. What begins as a seemingly lighthearted quest by a lesbian couple to find a man for a threesome gradually reveals itself to be a thoughtful exploration of intimacy, insecurity, and the often messy realities of modern relationships.
The film's greatest strength lies in its willingness to look beyond its attention-grabbing setup. Maxine and Lena's journey is less about sexual experimentation than it is about understanding the boundaries, fears, and expectations they bring into their relationship. Their pact to find a third partner creates a series of humorous and occasionally absurd encounters, but the comedy works best when it exposes deeper emotional truths rather than simply chasing laughs.
The screenplay navigates sensitive territory with a surprising amount of warmth and empathy. Rather than reducing its characters to stereotypes or treating their sexuality as a gimmick, the film allows them to be flawed, confused, and relatable. The central relationship feels genuine, and the emotional stakes become increasingly compelling as the story progresses.
That said, the film is not without its shortcomings. Some of the episodic encounters can feel repetitive, and certain supporting characters seem designed more as comic devices than fully realized individuals. The pacing occasionally loses momentum in the middle act, where the search itself threatens to overshadow the emotional journey at the story's core.
Still, what ultimately makes the film memorable is its honesty. It asks difficult questions about monogamy, desire, and commitment without offering easy answers. By the end, the film is less concerned with who ends up in bed with whom than with what it truly means to choose a partner and build a life together.
Funny, charming, and unexpectedly insightful, this is a romantic comedy that uses its unconventional premise to explore universal questions about love. It may not reinvent the genre, but it brings enough intelligence and heart to stand out from the crowd.
