...Three to Tango, Perry plays Oscar Novak, a slightly neurotic architect who, along with his flamboyant partner Peter (Oliver Platt), is on the cusp of landing a major restoration project that could ignite his professional career. First though, he must win the confidence of self-absorbed millionaire Charles Newman (Dylan McDermott--all GQ cover, no personality), a powerful tycoon with the face of an underwear model and the disposition of a shark. Charles has a wife. He also has a mistress named Amy (Campbell), an energetic, free-spirited artist who specializes in glass sculptures. Charles is the jealous type...

What may save Popular is not its pandering to hipness but its willingness to skewer social haves and have-nots and its satiric, Heathers-ish flourishes (the popular girls, e.g., hang out in a velvety school powder room called "the Novak," as in Kim).
