Three to Tango (1999): Dir: Damon Santostefano / Cast: Matthew Perry, Dylan McDermott,Neve Campbell, Oliver Platt, Cylk Cozart: Witless and pointless film about conflict. Everybody assumes that Matthew Perry is gay because of his business relationship with Oliver Platt. Dylan McDermott takes advantage of this and convinces Perry to spy on his mistress. As predicted they fall in love while Perry tries to play out this idiotic gay assumption. Those who are not disappointed by this depraved piece of crap have obviously fallen asleep before it ended. It is predictable and boring and director Damon Santostefano does little to help it. He previously directed numerous TV shows that are probably a far cry from this. Doing a commercial for cat litter would be a higher achievement. Perry looks like the victim of a bad joke. McDermott is basically playing a one note role unworthy of his time. Neve Campbell as the mistress is reduced to a prop who comes to the obvious realizations, but not before viewers beat her to it. Platt is a decent actor playing a role unworthy of his talent. He basically stands back and takes the hit for the idiocy provided here. There is no real reason to see this film other than to observe a struggling cast in one of their worst career moves. It all boils down to a pointless orgy that should be tramped upon by no less than three people. Score: 1 / 10

I've always been a fan of Matthew Perry in the sitcom "Friends". I still think he was absolutely great as Chandler Bing. But so far he could never convince me as an actor on the big silver screen. Somehow it just didn't work out as well as it did in those ten years of "Friends". But this movie is different. I really liked him in this one."Three to Tango" is a comedy that sometimes goes a bit too far over the top, but that also offers plenty of fun and laughter which will make you forget about the few annoying moments. I liked the story about the two architects who will act as if they are a gay couple, just to get that important restoration job. When the businessman also asks Oscar to keep an eye on his mistress, believing nothing can go wrong since Oscar is "gay", things start to go really wrong, creating a lot of painful but often funny situations...I guess the fans of the sitcom "Friends" will love this movie. I know I did and the main reason for that is because Matthew Perry is playing the role he knows best: the likable loser who doesn't do much right. Sure, the movie has it's flaws and no the story isn't world-shockingly original, but it offered me plenty of laughter and that's exactly what I'm looking for in a comedy. That's why I give this movie a 7.5/10.

This movie is one of the best of all comedys. I loved it, and laughed a lot. Matthew Perry is more funny in this than he is in Friends. I loved it when he wasn't agree at being a gay and when everybody believed he was. He couldn't say anything against it because he was too embarrassed. I hated Dylan McDermot in this movie, but he was some kind of funny to, just thought he had chance to get all he wanted, when he didn't it. Neve Camphell was also great in this movie, off course she is beautiful to. She could have played in more comedics to than horror movies like Scream. I like her. give this movie 5 of 6you gotta see this.

The only way you could like this movie is if you're a heterosexual who has remained completely oblivious to the political development of gay people over the last fifty years. You might recall plotlines like this from the Rock Hudson/Doris Day era, because it's the last time they were acceptable. Every conceivable scenario is viewed through the anticipated discomfort of some token oblivious straight viewer. You know, gay people are merely amusing side dishes in the lives of heteros. Every gag reinforces that distaste is the unquestionable, correct response to gay people. I fast-forwarded through much of it, but something tells me that even the assinine "drop the soap" joke that straight guys have been laughing at for 4 decades (!), makes an appearance. Check the expiration date on these jokes, guys!I guess the only conceivable worse way for an overexposed sitcom star to step into movies might be to star opposite a monkey (Matt LeBlanc). This movie is also an insult to Chicago which is infinitely more modern/accepting of gay people than this tripe suggests. Everyone associated with this project should be sent by rocket into the sun.Laugh, giggle & stay completely mired in your subjective, mindless understanding of human sexuality. You'll probably really enjoy Amos 'n' Andy too.
