In this comedy film, Matthew Perry plays office clerk Alex Whitman, who works as an architect. A chance encounter with a passionate Mexican woman, Isabel (Salma Hayek), changes his life once and for all. When it becomes known that the girl is pregnant, Alex offers her his hand and heart without hesitation. But the difference in mentality creates serious obstacles for young people...

In modern realities, “If you hurry, you make people laugh” may seem too condescending towards Mexicans. However, the chemical cocktail of true love is acutely felt in this movie.

In the romantic comedy “Tango for Three,” Matthew again plays the role of an architect. Together with his friend and colleague Peter, he is trying to approve his first working project. The sponsor is supposed to be millionaire Charles Newman. Business negotiations lead to friends being mistaken for gays. Oscar gets a job, but not quite the one he wanted: now he must look after Newman's mistress, Emmy. Charles completely trusts his subordinate, because, as he thinks, women do not interest him at all. But while looking after Oscar manages to fall in love with Emmy.

The “blue friend” feature is now considered obsolete. But why not get into the '90s spirit with a good actor like Perry?

"Nine Yards" (2000)



"Nine Yards" (2000)

Here, the Friends star plays nervous dentist Nicholas Ozeransky, who lives under the thumb of his feisty wife. One day, Nicholas realizes with horror that his new neighbor is none other than the killer Jimmy Tulip. The wife persuades Nicholas to hand over Tulip to the thugs, from whom he is hiding. In exchange for information, Ozeransky is promised a lot of money.

A twisting plot, an unexpected ending, and, of course, Matthew Perry are what make this crime-comedy film worth watching.

"Helpless" (2007)



"Helpless" (2007)

“Helpless” is a good comedy drama that talks about ways to combat the blues. The main character, Hudson Milbank, is an accomplished screenwriter who has forgotten how to enjoy life. He lives alone and watches TV all day long. Trying to feel alive again, he turns to pornography, sports and uncontrolled medication use. But it turns out that only love can help him.

“Ready” is one of the most serious films in Matthew Perry’s filmography. In it, he played the role of sports commentator Ryan King, who lost his beloved wife. For a while he hides from his mental pain at work, but then decides to go to group psychotherapy.

Director of “Ready!” they accused that the series stars overly cheerful actors who are unable to convey the full range of feelings of a person who has just suffered a loss. The project was closed after the 1st season. However, after the release of Perry's confessional book, these accusations seem groundless.
