Rating: Summary: "Three" Less Than Satisfying Review: Director Damon Santostefano delivers a mildly amusing, but predictable one-joke comedy with "Three To Tango," starring Neve Campbell, Matthew Perry and Dylan McDermott. Struggling architects Oscar Novak (Perry) and Peter Steinberg (Oliver Platt) have a shot at a ninety million dollar renovation job, a project to be funded by tycoon businessman Charles Newman (McDermott). Circumstances lead Newman to believe that Oscar in gay, which makes him the perfect choice for another job Newman has in mind. He has a mistress, Amy (Campbell), a free-spirited artist, and the jealous Newman needs someone to keep an eye on her during the opening of an exhibition of her work, since he will be unable to attend. Oscar is reluctant at first (and he doesn't have any idea that Newman thinks he's gay), but it may help them land the renovation job, so he agrees. He has no way of foreseeing, of course, that he will end up falling in love with Amy. And, complicating matters even more, for Oscar, is the fact that Amy has been told that he is gay. How to resolve it all? Oscar needs the job, but he wants to be with the woman he loves; and meanwhile, everybody thinks he's gay. All of which wears thin, and fairly rapidly. The screenplay is neither clever nor imaginative, and Santostefano has done even less with the material at hand, resorting to slapstick for the laughs (and there are a few). Perry brings an engaging presence to the screen, and he does know how to play comedy; his timing is good, and the best scenes in the movie are the ones he shares with Platt. Campbell, on the other hand, leaves something to be desired with her Amy; managing little more than the occasional theatrical smile (squint and show some teeth), she comes across as shallow and pretentious. Amy (as she plays her) simply doesn't warrant the conflict called for by the story. And Dylan McDermott is too good an actor for this one-note role he's been handed here, though he does well enough with what he's been given. The most notable performance is courtesy of Platt, whose character, in fact, is gay, but thought by everyone to be straight; and he plays it for all it's worth. The supporting cast includes Cylk Cozart (Kevin), John C. McGinley (Strauss), Bob Balaban (Decker) and Deborah Rush (Lenore). There's some irony and humor in the premise of "Three To Tango," especially the twist wherein Oscar eventually has to "come out" as straight, but the finished product is somewhat flat and unsatisfying. The sight gags are good for a few laughs, but, unfortunately, there's just not a whole lot more to it.
Rating: Summary: Perry & Campbell are sensational! Review: First & foremost, I don't really mind what I have been hearing from the tabloids about Matthew Perry and Neve Campbell. Actually when I heard this movie is out, I was intrigued. I picked this movie deliberately from Amazon when Perry and Campbell were featured with Dylan McDermott of The Practice in the title cover of the DVD. And when I saw it, they were sensational as they were paired up for the first time in this savvy romantic comedy masterpiece. The story is very original of its kind since "The Object of my Affection" with Paul Rudd & Jennifer Aniston. In that movie, a straight female falls in love with an openly gay guy who are not meant for each other romantically. While in Three to Tango, we see quite the opposite - a straight guy, who is misunderstood of being gay, falls in love with a straight gal, who thought that he's gay, and at the end were meant for each other. As intrigue comes to embrace its viewers, the story is beautifully directed and well portrayed. The movie kicks off with two architectural partners, Oscar Novak and Peter Steinberg played by Perry and co-star Oliver Platt respectively, together pursuing a job opportunity with a Forbes' tycoon, charles Newman played by McDermott. When Newman finds out their gay status, Steinberg & Novak was awarded its big break, except for Oscar Novak, who was misunderstood of being gay, was given additional duties to spy on the tycoon's mistress, Amy played by Campbell, for her suspected relationship with a hunk football player, Kevin Cartwright played by Clyk Cozart. Wait what you are about to hear when Kevin confesses his attraction to Oscar. And wait to see the part when Oscar was selected and honored as "Gay Professional of the Year". It's chaotic fun just like the good old school days. Towards the end, Oscar confesses his true identity during his honorary speech and his love for Amy. The final act is a kissing scene of Oscar & Amy, which put the viewers to draw their conclusions especially for Friends and Party of Five fans. For the movie theme, it's love conquers all. But for desperate fans seeking gossip, the movie creates this hysteria, when these two were paired up for the first time. And Three to Tango became a hit. Adding to the praise is the superb musical score. The swing era of the 50s and 60s is well adapted to the atmosphere of humor around this modern story. If you're expanding your gay library or if you're just starting to build one, or if you're a huge fan of Friends and Party of Five, then you'll like this one. After all, Perry & Campbell are just among the youngest and cutest stars around.

Him and Neve Cample were cute together and there Was A couple Funny Parts. I can tell you that it is worth watching because it is funny, But myself i wouldn't own it.
Rating: Summary: ONE OF THE BEST ROMANTIC COMEDIES! Review: I LOVED this movie! Don't listen to that person who says to wait until it's on video because they obviously have no taste whatsoever!

After all, Perry & Campbell are just among the youngest & cutest stars around.
Rating: Summary: How did I miss this one before? Review: I don't remember hearing about this movie when it came out. I just picked it up because of how much I like Perry in "Fools Rush In". But, boy what a great surprise! This movie was just plain FUN! Perry was his usual funny, goofy, self (reminds me of a cocker spaniel puppy). Neve shows more emotion here than I have seen before. I have never been a big fan of hers, but this role fit her very well. I don't see the problematic issues that others have stated, just like a critic. Sure somethings are contrived, but if they weren't the story wouldn't happen. If you liked "Fools.." (and I did) you'll like this one. This movie is great for lifting the spirit and just having fun!
Rating: Summary: Pretty good comedy with some excellent laughs. Review: Not many people, liked this film. The film has some problems with story but it help from a good cast like(Perry, Campbell and Platt). But it was Matthew Perry and Neve Campbell chemistry make this film works.Only Dylan McDermott doesn`t really work in kind of movie, he was better in ABC Show-The Practice and as Clint Eastwood`s Partner in the Suspense/thriller-In The Line Of Fire. Oliver Platt is good as Usual in all kind of films. I thought the film, well be really good in the start, but it`s wasn`t but only later in the film is getting better. Some funny quotes by Perry and Platt. Some good laughs here. An good performance by Matthew Perry(Just like the film, he did with Salma Hayek-Fools Rush In, was a better romantic comedy than Three To Tango) and Neve Campbell, i find her every different in this movie than the another films, she did. Good music score by Graeme Revell(The Crow, The Crow:City Of Angels, Child`s Play 2, Bride Of Chucky, The Negotiator). DVD Quatily has a very good anamorphic Widescreen(1.78:1) Picture and the same for the Dolby Digital 5.1 Sound. Grade:B.
Rating: Summary: Schweet... Review: Though I can't remember the whole movie (saw it in a sneak showing before it came out), I remember it WAS an excelent and quite comedic! I highly recommend this movie!
