The “really bad” 1999 movie Neve Campbell wants to delete from history: “That bombed, which it should have”
Neve Campbell says the 1999 romantic comedy *Three to Tango* was a poor career choice and that she did not believe in the film. Its failure mattered to her because it made her resolve to trust her own judgement rather than follow other people’s advice.
Campbell starred alongside Matthew Perry and Dylan McDermott in the film, whose plot relied on stereotypes about gay men. She said she knew the script and her character were not ready, but her agents urged her to pursue a glamorous, mainstream image. After the film flopped, she returned to the *Scream* series as Sidney Prescott.
