Who would pretend to be gay for a $90
million architectural contract? In the film
Three To Tango, a man named Oscar Novak
(Perry) goes along with the assumption that
he is gay to secure the job of his dreams.
But the real question is, what would a
straight male do to become the “gay” fly on
the wall in a world of beautiful women?
Oscar is presented with this opportunity
when his new boss Charles Newman (Dylan
McDermott) asks him (he is gay remember)
to “babysit” his^mTutress, Amy (Campbell) - .
Need anyone say more about this plot?
Urifofltmately, many films like this are noth
ing short of predictable.
However, predictability aside, the film is
funny. With Perry adding his Chandler-esque
sarcasm to many lines, some may wonder if
sarcastic remarks have become the staple for
comedies. Not necessarily — the laughs from
this film come from many slap-stick, “kick you
in the crotch” fantastic moments.
Perry and Campbell have a definite chem
istry, but the television feel and acting is
prevalent. Sure, Campbell leaves the drama
of “Party Of Five” for comedy, and Perry
leaves what he calls “the friendship show”
for a bit of seriousness, but Oscar buzz will
not be surrounding this film.
First-time feature director Santostefano at
tempts to break gay stereotypes with Perry’s
role but successfully feeds stereotypes with
the role of Oscar’s work partner, Peter Stein
berg (Oliver Platt).
In a post-viewing question and answer
session of the premiere, Perry said he and
Campbell took the cheesy and not-funny
lines, improved them and made them funny.
This definitely worked, but not well
enough to elevate this movie above typical
and average. So gay twist aside, this was
nothing more than a romantic comedy with a
third party in the way. (Grade: C)

The rest of the film is toldoverams^iantsf
three days, and in that time, Piercetatei

Pierce’s three days are spent with three
partners, and each partner represents a a
