San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Perry is at his best playing frenetic confusion.

70
Film.com
Tom Keogh
Quite smart, sensitive, and relatively sophisticated.

70
Variety
Joe Leydon
A smart and sassy comedy with a playful sensibility and subtle sensitivity.

65
TNT RoughCut
Daysun Chang
A perfect date movie for boys and girls, boys and boys, and boys just pretending to like boys.
63
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
A thin, by-the-numbers romantic comedy that nevertheless features one saving grace: Matthew Perry.

63
USA Today
Andy Seiler
Best to wait until the movie makes it to TV - where its missteps will loom less large.

63
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
A cute, often very funny romantic comedy and an effective vehicle for Matthew Perry.

50
Baltimore Sun
Milton Kent
So much of Three to Tango is calculated to push the proper emotional buttons that it's ultimately unsatisfying.

50
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Perry and Campbell are charming despite this straitjacket plot.

50
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
Dismayingly predictable and rote, a simple premise played out in the most obvious way possible.
50
Chicago Tribune
Barbara Shulgasser
Television sitcom-style directing and writing.

42
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.

40
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.

40
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
The movie's half over before it really starts to whack at the funny bone.

40
Newsweek
Kevin Stuart
Relax and enjoy the brain candy.

40
Film.com
Robert Horton
Does have its share of bona fide chuckles, but it falls shy of its possibilities.

40
Austin Chronicle
Sarah Hepola
For each prejudice the film tries to shatter, it furthers a different stereotype.

38
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
Trips early and never gets up off the floor.

38
Charlotte Observer
Lawrence Toppman
Puts more miles on plot that was worn out long ago.

30
Los Angeles Times
Eric Harrison
Typical of this movie's cluelessness is the way it cavalierly traffics in stereotypes.

30
The New York Times
Stephen Holden
In trying to be both bold and nonthreatening, the movie ends up seeming tame and mildly offensive.

30
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
The kind of movie that TV stars do when they're on hiatus and trying to squeeze one in.
30
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.

25
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Mired in a plot of such stupidity.

6
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.

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