      Audience Member How do you not love Neve in this. Watch it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review brendan n Three to Tango was suppose to be the launching pad for the films cast but sadly it's a missed opportunity and only offers mild laughs. Matthew Perry are likable in the lead roles but the story doesn't support him and he is often left with silly comedic moments to propel them. The film isn't without its charm but it has little to recommend it outside the central performance of Perry who throws everything into the role. The film has strong support but they are unable to offer anything outside of their one dimensional roles. 20/07/2020 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review steve d A bit uncomfortable at times but handles itself fairly well given when it came out. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Architects Oscar Novak (Matthew Perry) and Peter Steinberg (Oliver Platt) have just landed a career-making opportunity to design of a multimillion-dollar cultural center for wealthy businessman Charles Newman (Dylan McDermott). In a ploy for publicity, Newman has pitched Oscar and Peter in a neck-and-neck competition with their archrivals and former colleagues, the hugely successful Decker and Strauss (Bob Balaban and John C. McGinley). When Newman meets Oscar and Peter, he assumes that they are lovers, even though Oscar is straight. (Peter is in fact gay, but his relationship with Oscar is strictly platonic.) Under the mistaken impression that Oscar is gay, he asks Oscar to keep an eye on his mistress Amy (Neve Campbell) and make sure that she does not talk to his wife. Oscar falls for Amy virtually on sight, but she also thinks he is gay. He is forced to maintain the charade to avoid getting into trouble with Newman, and losing the commission. Matters become complicated when a news article about Oscar and Peter's supposed relationship is published in a newspaper, leaving Oscar in the increasingly frustrating position of having to fend off advances from various gay men while convincing his friends and family that he is simply pretending to be gay... Rotten Tomatoes consensus states: "A mediocre episode of Friends has more humor and less offensive gay jokes." "Three To Tango" is an average silly romcom with as mentioned a quite offensive gay focus as a humour pillar in the film that feels stale and old. At the same time the film portrays the gay characters as respectable, admirable and wise while all the straight men are portrayed as rogues, misfits and buffoons as someone else said in their review on IMDB. It´s a strange script that is not balanced. Matthew Perry is unfortunately Chandler again and he seems to be unable to shake off his "Friends" persona. While it´s always a pleasure to see the lovely Neve Campbell, but she doesn´t get much to work with here and ends up just as eyecandy. Weak story, weak acting and it´s quite a predictable film. "Three To Tango" is simply forgettable. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 12/27/2015: A nice film with some funny moments. Love Neve Campbell in this role. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review william s Somebody please just stop Mathew Perry from making another movie.Just stick to the small screen there Matty.

      Globe and Mail Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 22, 2002 Full Review Michael Atkinson Mr. Showbiz Inept, unfunny, and so brimming with bad ideas it's a wonder it wasn't manufactured by mandrills rather than adult humans. Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Rene Rodriguez Miami Herald Dismayingly predictable and rote. Jan 1, 2000 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a fairly generic yet mostly watchable comedy that’s elevated by the charming efforts of its stars... Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 4, 2023 Full Review Betty Jo Tucker ReelTalk Movie Reviews Although sometimes amusing, 'Three to Tango' relies on a one-joke emphasis that wears thin early on. Jul 30, 2011 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com Perry and Campbell's natural rapport is put at the service of an idiot plot. Rated: 2/4 Nov 28, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews
