    Hard Pass

    Simplistic, predictable and unoriginal. Hard pass on this movie.

    Look elsewhere for a creative, interesting and inspiring story... because you are unlikely to find a good movie within "It Takes Three." Little humor. Easily forgettable.

    For me, a $1 iTunes rental. Funds better spent elsewhere. Board and annoyed throughout this story.

    not too bad...

    For a highschool+ date+prom, unoriginal nerd vs stud story, with small incitions of warmth and humour, its a film that couldve used even more comedy on overdrive, but still warms a grumpy old mans heart. Beautiful musical sc ore and viable acting.

    Where's the soundtrack to this film?!?!?!

    I mean, its been done before....but I thought it was lovely.

    Please can someone comment with a link to a soundtrack? Especially for the song at the beginning of the dance. Thanks.

    Yet another film adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac, with a twist

    According to Wiki there have been 12 film adaptations of Edmond Rostand's play, Cyrano de Bergerac. Now make that 13 with Rhino, AKA It Takes Three-2021-revolving around modern day high schoolers which means nerdish male and female leads opposite popular boy poser and their smart but popular counterpoint. I started watching it with skepticism but stayed and enjoyed it. Some plot points seemed too contrived, the beautiful, young and way too hip Principal, as an example. Also, the two moms factor seemed a little off but better than a modern version Ozzie and Harriet. The 1987 Steve Martin version, Roxanne, remains far superior. This should make your watch list, perhaps in the lower third. However, if you keep your expectations in-bounds, you should enjoy the actors and the brave attempt to make it modern.

    Entertaining, if a little uneven

    It did make me laugh on more than one occasion, and I think it was very well acted.

    The tone was uneven at points, but all the characters came across pretty authentic and engaging for the most part. I liked how 'the Jock', whilst a bit superficial, wasn't a total bullying piece of work, but actually under it just another teenager dealing with the joys of adolescence whilst making some questionable choices.

    Whilst writing this review I've upped it one more star as the sound track was absolutely outstanding, and I'm going to seek it out!

    • Trivia
      The high school in the film, "Lincoln Chase High," is named after the production company founded by screenwriter Logan Burdick and actor Ray Chase (Lincoln Chase Property Group). Although their company had nothing to do with real estate, Burdick/Chase were applying for office space and were afraid the landlord wouldn't rent to a new media company.
    • Goofs
      Cy tells Chris he should follow scientist Stephen Hawking on social media. The events of the film are just before the school Prom around June 2018 (confirmed by the Principal in the movie), which was approx 3 months after Stephen Hawkings death in March 2018. The film was made in 2017, explaining how this error came to occur.
