8.5/10
It's a miracle!
Recounting the miraculous event that led up to these 3 dudes finding each other is both jaw-dropping hilarious. Maybe it's just funny hearing it from their grinning, spinning image faces. I mean, what are the chances of that these triplets would share the same crib, get separated at birth, and then reunite miraculously in their college years!?
Imagine taking your first steps onto campus, and everyone starts patting you on the back because they already know who you are.. But they really don’t. They know your football star, twin.
“Eddy’s back! Everyone thought he wasn’t going to come back!” Then it all starts to come together.
“Are you adopted?” a student asked Bobby. He was. “Is your birthday July 12, 1961?” It was. “Bobby, it seems you have a long-lost twin named Eddy.”
Really liked this movie and would recommend to anyone looking for a good documentary. The reason I say “if you’re looking for a good documentary” is because, frankly, not everyone is. Some people would prefer to watch explosions, blood, and a few scantily-clad actors save the world in their underpants. Yea, this isn’t a Marvel movie, but it is a marvelous story. Eh? ..No? Ok, moving on…
There's also a big reveal at the end which leaves you with a lasting impression when stepping out of the theater. Lets just say that there are some people out there they may have wanted this story silenced.
I’m really fortunate to live so close to such an awesome, Chicago theater as the Music Box. I’m always down for a big blockbuster movie now and then, but this theater in particular challenges the status quo of entertainment and hands you quality films every time. If you appreciate historic and charming, then I would recommend stopping by sometime, and bring a date.

Date Movie? - Totally.
Great Movie? - Yea, I'd highly recommend at least watching the trailer to get a feel for it. It's a documentary was handled with time and care. Much of it was a reenacted since many moments weren't captured by footage. This movie might get nominated, I really wouldn't be surprised. Apparently it did well at Sundance.
