Three to Tango

Three to Tango (1999) is an American romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Damon Santostefano cast Matthew Perry, Neve Campbell, and Dylan McDermott in a Chicago-set farce about a small lie that refuses to stay small.

Architects Oscar and Peter need a powerful client to land the cultural center commission of their careers. Chicago tycoon Charles Newman gives them their shot — and promptly hears from a rival that Oscar is gay. Oscar decides not to correct the impression. Newman, who wants a trustworthy confidant to keep an eye on his mistress Amy while he travels, assigns the job to Oscar. The logic is airtight. The problem is that Oscar is not gay, Amy has no idea, and the two of them are spending a lot of time together.

Perry brings his sitcom timing to a 98-minute format, which mostly works — the film is lighter than a feather and honest about it. Campbell is sharp enough to make Amy more than a plot function, and the eventual unraveling arrives exactly when the audience wants it to. Stream Three to Tango online on iFILM.
