Three To Tango

San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle

Perry is at his best playing frenetic confusion.

Film.com Tom Keogh

Quite smart, sensitive, and relatively sophisticated.

Variety Joe Leydon

A smart and sassy comedy with a playful sensibility and subtle sensitivity.

TNT RoughCut Daysun Chang

A perfect date movie for boys and girls, boys and boys, and boys just pretending to like boys.

New York Daily News Jami Bernard

A thin, by-the-numbers romantic comedy that nevertheless features one saving grace: Matthew Perry.

USA Today Andy Seiler

Best to wait until the movie makes it to TV - where its missteps will loom less large.

New York Post Jonathan Foreman

A cute, often very funny romantic comedy and an effective vehicle for Matthew Perry.

Baltimore Sun Milton Kent

So much of Three to Tango is calculated to push the proper emotional buttons that it's ultimately unsatisfying.

Philadelphia Inquirer Carrie Rickey

Perry and Campbell are charming despite this straitjacket plot.

Miami Herald Rene Rodriguez

Dismayingly predictable and rote, a simple premise played out in the most obvious way possible.

Chicago Tribune Barbara Shulgasser

Television sitcom-style directing and writing.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Paula Nechak

The vapid plot line follows the same narrative arc as "Tootsie" but hasn't the heart or purpose of that film.

TV Guide Ken Fox

An uncomfortable go at romantic comedy that belabors the same mistaken-for-gay premise as"In & Out," but without much of that film's charm.

Washington Post Michael O'Sullivan

The movie's half over before it really starts to whack at the funny bone.

Newsweek Kevin Stuart

Relax and enjoy the brain candy.

Film.com Robert Horton

Does have its share of bona fide chuckles, but it falls shy of its possibilities.

Austin Chronicle Sarah Hepola

For each prejudice the film tries to shatter, it furthers a different stereotype.

Boston Globe Jay Carr

Trips early and never gets up off the floor.

Charlotte Observer Lawrence Toppman

Puts more miles on plot that was worn out long ago.

Los Angeles Times Eric Harrison

Typical of this movie's cluelessness is the way it cavalierly traffics in stereotypes.

The New York Times Stephen Holden

In trying to be both bold and nonthreatening, the movie ends up seeming tame and mildly offensive.

Rolling Stone Peter Travers

The kind of movie that TV stars do when they're on hiatus and trying to squeeze one in.

LA Weekly Chuck Wilson

Placing gay characters front and center in big Hollywood movies is supposed to inspire cheers, not the case of the creeps that comes with Three To Tango.

Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

Mired in a plot of such stupidity.

Mr. Showbiz Michael Atkinson

Inept, unfunny, and so brimming with bad ideas it's a wonder it wasn't manufactured by mandrills rather than adult humans.

Entertainment Weekly Bruce Fretts

I didn't think Matthew Perry could find a romantic comedy more inert or inane than the 1997 fiasco ''Fools Rush In.''
