Summary: Wait until is on t.v.
Review: You know why this video is so expensive? Because nobody who is in a right state of mind would buy it. This story of a spectacular, handsome and very rich man who ask a special favor to a gay architect(Surprise,he isn't gay after all!) to befriend and spy his spirited young lover is one of the worst romantic comedies of the whole history of Hollywood.Badly acted, full of common places, hardly funny, don't even rent it, wait until is on t.v. or better yet, read a good book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hysterical
Review: I found this movie to be absolutely hysterical...and the best part was me and my husband were both laughing (we have totally different tastes in what is funny) The movie is about a guy who has had trouble in finding "the right girl" and when he does..not only is she the mistress of a big business man that he's trying to land a job with but she thinks he's gay! Oliver Platt was really funny as was the guy from "Friends" (can't remember his real Name). Neve Campbell was really good as a normal girl..I was suprised, she's usually in such different roles than this. This is a really nice date movie or for a married couple to watch. All in all I'd say it is worth watching a couple times...I know when I rented it I watched it twice:)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great
Review: This movie was funny and a good romantic comedy. Dylan McDermont didn't do his role very well though- the other actors did.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Movie
Review: When I rented this, I picked it up based on the cast of Matthew Perry, Neve Campbell and Oliver Platt. Other than that, I knew nothing about this movie. For once, I was pleasantly surprized by a movie. I got quite a few laughs off of this. This is a great date movie. I enjoyed this film. I will add this one to my collection.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Three Stars
Review: Though it wasn't a hit in theaters, Three to Tango is still a decent and enjoyable light hearted comedy. An architect (Perry) is hired by a rich tycoon (Mcdermott) who believes Perry to be gay, to spy on his girlfriend (Campbell), and ends up falling in love with her. The story seemed sweet but often too predictable. The ending wasn't very original. The cast was Okay. Oliver Platt and Matthew Perry were very funny.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good light hearted romantic comedy
Review: This is a movie I thoroughly enjoyed. I have read so many professional critics give this movie bad reviews when it didn't deserve it. This movie is both fun and romantic, and executes very well to make you believe in the characters. It's not going to win any awards, but it wasn't meant to. It was supposed to be just an easy going, light hearted, comedy, on line with some of the fun romantic comedy's of the Michael J. Fox era. I say watch the movie and the critics can just bite me.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Forgettable Romantic Comedy
Review: This is a forgettable film that masquerades as a romantic comedy when it is really a satire on homophobia. Actually, the storyline is quite clever and there are a number of good sight gags, but the dialogue is uniformly dreadful and lowbrow. The writing is hack and sitcomesque which might explain why they loaded this cast with TV actors.

We are presented with two architects who are vying for a contract that can revitalize their ailing business with a roguish developer named Charles Newman (Dylan McDermot). Charles is married and having an affair with Amy (Neve Campbell), but he is jealous and wants to keep tabs on her. Thinking Oscar (Matthew Perry) is gay and no threat, he asks him to spy on her, implying that it might help him to get the contract. The rest is pretty predictable. They fall in love, but she thinks he's gay so there is no hope. Eventually love prevails (no spoiler here, no-one on the planet could watch this movie and think they wouldn't get together), but not before numerous mistaken gender orientation gags run their course.

This film was obviously presented from a gay perspective as a satire on homophobia. All the gay characters are portrayed as respectable, admirable and wise, while all the straight men are portrayed as rogues, misfits and buffoons. You see skit after skit where homophobia is lampooned. Women can't confide in a man unless they think he's gay, because straight men are just too insensitive to understand. Gays in the closet are bashed repeated with snide remarks. This probably explains why this film was more well received by women than men, since much the comedy really mocked straight men and their fear of homosexuality.

Matthew Perry has made a career out of playing hapless losers with the appeal being that it's funny to see someone who is even more woefully inept than the average viewer. While I don't find this particularly funny, I will give him his due and say that he is a master of the art. He gets high marks for being able to simultaneously evoke laughter and sympathy over his plight. Also, I found his chemistry good with Campbell, and his longing for her was played with a good deal of sincerity and sensitivity.

Neve Campbell is really just window dressing here. Her role is to smile, look cute and sexy and play the love interest. This is not a real stretch for her since she can essentially do all those things by just standing there.

Dylan McDermot was pretty dreadful as the scoundrel. In his defense, he didn't have much to work with since the way his part was written he was portraying more of a caricature than a character. It is difficult for an actor to slip into the skin of an absurdity and know exactly how to play it.

The best acting in the film came from Oliver Platt, who played Oscar Novak's business partner. He was funny and played an excellent straight man to Perry's clown. Platt is a veteran and a professional and always brings substance to his supporting roles.

This film has its moments but not enough of them. It is effective social satire and it is mildly successful as a romantic comedy, but it bogs down frequently with too many variations on the same gay theme. Though funny in parts, it is generally just silliness. I rated it a 5/10.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny- a delight, Neve Campbell delivers!
Review: I totally agree with all of the other reviews posted on this sight. I thought Neve Campbell gave a hilarious performance along with Matthew Perry who I also enjoy as a performer. The script, could of had a little more of a bite to it, but the movie was a delight. I strongly recommend this to every body. It's a great family movie, on the count that there is a little bit of sex-related humor. You will laugh, and enjoy this delightful, pure, and truthful movie about love and money. Three to tango, is definately a movie for guys, girls and the family. Go out and rent it today. Enjoy!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Laughs Never Stop
Review: THE MOVIE CRITICS WERE DEFINATELY WRONG! this movie was hilarious. The only time I stopped laughing was during the sweet romantic scenes between Matthew Perry and Neve Campbell! Oliver Platt always gives an exceptional performance, Neve Campbell was cute and lovable; but, it was Matthew Perry's great comedic performance that made the movie shine. As far as romantic comedies go...I thought it was great!

Rating: 5 stars
