Audience Reviews for Three to Tango

Jul 20, 2020

Three to Tango was suppose to be the launching pad for the films cast but sadly it's a missed opportunity and only offers mild laughs. Matthew Perry are likable in the lead roles but the story doesn't support him and he is often left with silly comedic moments to propel them. The film isn't without its charm but it has little to recommend it outside the central performance of Perry who throws everything into the role. The film has strong support but they are unable to offer anything outside of their one dimensional roles. 20/07/2020

Underwhelming. I did LOL a few times in the middle & near the end. But the whole first 1/2 of the movie was flat, unfunny & far too drawn out.
