Critic Reviews

  • Bruce Fretts, Entertainment Weekly

    McDermott's natural earnestness serves him well as attorney Bobby Donnell on The Practice, but he shows zero flair for comedy.

  • Tom Keogh, Film.com

    Smart, sensitive, and relatively sophisticated.

  • Robert Horton, Film.com

    Three to Tango is too careful, too proper in its approach, to shift into high gear.

  • Jay Carr, Boston Globe

    Three to Tango trips early and never gets up off the floor.

  • Susan Stark, Detroit News

    An essentially subversive comedy with a bubbly, immensely entertaining face.

    I liked this one and I thought the cast was great. Oliver Platt was awesome in this role and he played off well with the others. It was a simple story but the actors made you care about what was going to happen.

    Three's a crowd! Rom com love triangle.

  • Stuart B


    A very funny and like-able rom-com

  • Dean M


    Matthew Perry does good performance by pretending as a gay man behind his bastard boss and boss' beautiful mistress in this great sexy, funny and irresistable comedy.
