Trivia:

More physically intimate footage was shot between 'Stephen Baldwin' and 'Josh Charles (I)', notably a kissing scene during the big "three-way", and a one-on-one sex scene that occurred after Alex moves out. Baldwin discussed these scenes being cut in print interviews when the film came out.

Goofs:

Continuity: As Eddy is taking his clothes off getting ready to jump into the lake, you can clearly see he's wearing underwear and that he drops his T shirt as he begins his run. But in the next scene from behind, Eddy is no longer wearing underwear and again drops his T shirt.

Quotes:

[On Catcher In The Rye]
Stuart: It's a great book, you're going to love it.
Alex: I've read it four times.
Stuart: I've often felt like the main character, Holden Caulfield...
Eddie: No, no, he's Stratladder, the obnoxious room-mate who thinks he's it.

One of the better college-movies

In the past there have been made many movies about students in college, some of them drama's, other comedies. This is one of those, and I though a pretty good one. It's about two guys, Stuart and Eddy, who have to share their apartment with Alex, a girl, due to bureaucratic failure. In first they don't like this idea, but they manage to get along, and even to become close friends. But all three of them seem to want more out of this strange relationship....

Lara Flynn Boyle (Alex), Stephen Baldwin (Stuart) and Josh Charles (Eddy) did a good job as the three main characters, and overall this is a nice comedy about relationships, feelings and coming out of the closet. Together with films like With Honors and St. Elmo's Fire this is one of the better movies about college-escapades.
