Title: Three To Tango
Starring: Matthew Perry, Neve Campbell, Dylan McDermott, and Oliver Platt
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Rated: PG-13 for Neve Campbell
Rating: ** (out of ****)


Sappy. While some of the jokes made you laugh, Three To Tango was generally just a big program set up to bash gay people indirectly. The use of Matthew Perry seems to fool the viewers into believing he'd make a fine gay man (and by viewers I mean The Blue Player). However, I left Matthew Perry's performance was too much like his "Friends" character and surpringly enough, everything else he plays. It's all about a desperate loser looking for a girl that can't talk without stuttering and is always in this "just shoot me" sort of shock. Nonetheless, for his first lead role in a movie, he didn't suck as bad as most people, but I would've expected better for a part like that.

As for the rest. Neve Campbell acted like a six-year old girl whose only motivation cue from the director must have been to smile. Which, annoying as it is, she always did, even when she was angry. However, she played an emotional distraught young lady very well, but didn't make me believe she'd be the type to have an affair with a millionare. Dylan McDermott was fruity as can be and acted so damn arrogant and clueless that I seriously wanted to smother him. His pre-Keanu Reeves Matrix look of "where the hell am I?" didn't seem to work at all, leaving him an empty and hollow man. Perry's roommate, Oliver Platt, did a fine job with his part and I have no gripes.

The football player rocked.

I gave Three To Tango two stars out of four for A) not being very funny, B) blatantly insulting gays, C) having horrible direction, and D) being sappier then most romantic comedies would dare.
