Editorial Reviews

Scott is suddenly single and alone after his girlfriend dumps him during his marriage proposal and his roommate moves thousands of miles away. But when he invites super-nice strangers Ryan and Mary to share his apartment, they soon begin to intrude on every aspect of his life including his new relationship with the girl of his dreams. Is Scott just being paranoid or does this seemingly ‘perfect couple’ need a third wheel to keep them rolling? Get ready for a twisted romantic comedy about bad dates, worse friends and the madness that waits at a TABLE FOR THREE.

4.0 out of 5 stars This 'Table' Tips Well!, July 2, 2009

This review is from: Table for Three (DVD)

Director Mike Samonek serves up a tasty comedy with a mostly appetizing cast and a story well-seasoned with subtle humor and bite-sized hilarity.

Sophia Bush and Jesse Bradford are terrific as a couple too-perfect to be true, hell bent on wrecking their new roommate's (Brandon Routh) life by over-protecting him from his own self-destructive romantic tendencies. The chemistry between Bush and Bradford make them seem as if they've a been a couple for years, dressing to compliment each other's style, finishing each other's sentences with a practiced and perceptively funny rhythm, or just bantering on endlessly. Jennifer Morrison really lets her hair down here, She is the right tone straight and comedic throughout.

The cab scene is hilarious, highlighted by Morrison's aloofness and Bradford's camp. It would've played even funnier if Brandon Routh were good at comedy. Though Routh is the blandest thing on 'Table's' menu, I actually like his straight take through most of the film. It gives his character a lot more credibility as the lonely loser, and it heightens the comedy aspect of Bush and Bradford's supercouple, making it much more their movie than his. Whether director Samonek did that intentionally or not doesn't matter, it works very well. Kudos to him for letting his cast take off and make this as much fun for themselves as it was for us, the viewer. Routh's performance falls flattest when he's supposed to be funniest, but Bush, Morrison and Bradford do a credible job of playing off Routh and making up for his weaknesses. 'Roseanne' alum Johnny Galecki is a hoot as a recent victim of the not-so-perfect couple.

Table For Three is a sleeper, a film that succeeds by never taking itself too seriously or trying too hard to be funny. Like finding a spot at the great little bistro tucked behind the big and bland restaurant chains, you'll want to reserve this 'Table' as soon as you can.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hasta Lasagna, December 26, 2010

This review is from: Table for Three (DVD)

I liked Brandon Routh in the Superman reboot and I feel he got the shaft after that, the studio treated him terribly so I was rooting for the underdog all the way through this one. Routh is actually very good as Scott, once you got over the premise that he is supposed to be utterly without friends; surely he is too handsome and personable for that, and yet his dealings with Warners did give him this sad air of one left out in the cold, so who knows, it COULD happen. Others have commented that he isn't that funny, but he doesn't have to be, Jesse Bradford and Sophia Bush are almost too funny, you get tired watching them steal scenes from each other, and it's a relief when they leave the screen for a moment.

The writing has its ups and downs, that's for sure. If the writing had been better I would have given 5 stars to this film, for it had an original premise, one I don't remember seeing before in any film: how a couple can become a "couple monster," a sort of borg like creature that devours the single and spits them out still halfalive. My wife and I were looking at ourselves in a terrible paroxysm of guilt thinking of how often we had acted like Ryan and Mary, perhaps not so one-dimensionally, but still. Maybe the film does have a sort of ancestor in WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? which uses some of the same material but gives it a twist with the enigma of the son who may not really be a real person. I had never seen Sophia Bush before, but here she is splendid and she really seems to be so into the character that she fizzes like a firework, and as for Jennifer Morrison, she is pretty adorable (she is also an actress new to me) and at first I thought she must be the daughter of Jan on The Office, for she shares so many of the veteran actress' mannerisms and facial expressions, while even her vocal register is similar.

Yes, it is terribly vulgar, and yes, it is the sort of movie that leaves red herrings gangling all the way through it, but I liked it a lot! (One thing I thought of was, if Scott could hear Ryan and Mary so clearly every time they had sex, why didn't he mention it to them? And also, we see him early in the movie with a roommate who has been transferred to another country: didn't he ever hear his roommate getting it on, or is it that maybe he liked it when it was the one guy, but just couldn't deal with this combo?) (But if they straightened that out, whole layers of plot would have had to go, so, that's comedy for you, it's murder!)

4.0 out of 5 stars Flirtatiously funny - Never trust a happy couple, January 10, 2012

By 

HTV (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Table for Three (DVD)

I tumbled on this movie by chance on TV, and was glued to the screen until the very end. At first, i thought it was a TV show, and thought the screen writing was excellent, and masterly done. The supporting actors ( the couple ) were hillariously funny, such chemistry with sex appeal and flirtatiousness that makes you laugh till the end. i was dissappointed when i can't find it on bluray. The story has great plot, moving in good pace stimulating viewer's emotion up and down just to keep it interesting. I have no choice but to get the Dvd, the only format ( beside Prime ) release. It's weird how some stupid movies got released on BR and some excellent ones like this "Table for Three" doesn't get released. Helllo!!!! I vote for the screen writing, the casting of excellent and fun actors/actresses who were perfect for the roles.
