Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Three to Tango is a 1999 American romantic comedy film starring Matthew Perry, Neve Campbell, Dylan McDermott and Oliver Platt.Architects Oscar Novak (Perry) and Peter Steinberg (Platt) have just landed a career-making opportunity to design of a multimillion dollar cultural center for wealthy businessman Charles Newman (McDermott). When Newman meets Oscar and Peter, some of their antics make him assume that they are lovers, even though Oscar is straight. (Peter is in fact gay, but his relationship with Oscar is strictly platonic.) Under the mistaken impression that Oscar is gay, he asks Oscar to keep an eye on his mistress Amy (Campbell) and make sure that she doesn't talk to his wife. Oscar falls for Amy virtually on sight, but she thinks he's gay. He is forced to maintain the charade to avoid getting into trouble with Newman, and losing the commission. Matters become complicated when news about Oscar and Peter's supposed relationship become public.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Coming Straight Story: Oscar is initially Mistaken for Gay, then keeps up the façade for a number of reasons until the film's climax, where the trope comes into play.

Gag Penis: Apparently, there's a huge reason why Kevin's nickname is "The Ponderosa."

I Have Just One Thing to Say: scar has spent the entire film pretending to be gay, while actually in love with Amy. When she finds out, she yells at him for daring to lie to her, and ends with "I have just one thing to say to you... I take the left side of the bed." Cue coy smirks and Ironic Echo inundation.

Hooked Up Afterwards: At the end of the film, Peter, the gay partner of straight-but-people-thought-he-was-gay Oscar, ends up trading innuendo with Kevin, the newbie-gay football player whose nickname is "The Ponderosa", after Oscar has finally gotten the girl.
