Wonderful character development!

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

good back-story, and good acting

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

"Three men and a baby" is very much a product of its time. The power dressing,the "cool" wall painting in the boys' apartment,the outdated attitudes towards women,the presumption that men will have no idea of how to look after children - a proposition completely demolished within a few years with the growth of the Househusband and the fragmentation of family life in much of the Western world. And,frankly,if I never see another baby peeing I will still get through my life ok,thanks. We have three ridiculously attractive bachelors living what might have been called in more innocent days "the gay life". All this fun and games is brought to a standstill when the eponymous baby turns up on their doorstep. Of course they are all "Creatives" which makes it even more unlikely that they should have been left on the shelf - as it were - for so long. One of theses carefree chaps is the unknowing father of the baby,but being good types they all chip in when they can and actually begin to enjoy the experience. Bless! Every new baby cliché is dusted off and given new life. There is a sublimely unlikely twist when they become involved with a gang of drug dealers(very much a hazard of American life in the eighties,apparently) but otherwise the film rides smoothly on it's pre - ordained path. It's all so last century - and not in a good way. Tom Selleck has gone on to become a significant actor,his moustache unchanging through 30 years. If you want to catch up on his earlier career watch "High Road to China",far better than this in every respect.

Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg, Ted Danson, Nancy Travis and Margaret Colin star in this 1987 comedy. This tells about New York architect, Peter (Selleck) and his 2 roommates, Michael (Guttenberg), an artist and Jack (Danson), an actor who are all bachelors. Soon, a baby girl, Mary arrives on their doorstep while Jack is away shooting a film. Peter and Michael tend to her and when Jack gets back, he learns that's he's her father. Their lives instantly change and they grow close to her. Travis (Greedy) plays Mary's mother, Sylvia and Colin (Independence Day) plays Peter's girlfriend, Rebecca. This is a good 80's comedy with humorous and a bit of heartfelt moments featuring a great cast. I recommend this.

Three bachelors have their lives flipped upside down when little baby Mary is left on their doorstep.A remake of successful 1985 French film Three Men And A Cradle, this Hollywood version took the box office by storm to make a domestic profit of over $155,000,000. It's not hard to see why really. Yes it looks a touch twee now, and the irritating drug-smuggling sub-plot (also in the original) grows more tiresome with subsequent revisits. Yet it has a frothy cleanness so lacking in many more similar big budgeted movies that came after it. Starring Tom Selleck, Ted Danson and Steve Guttenberg as the "no parenting skills" bachelors, Leonard Nimoy's film , (yes, Spock) sees quality interplay between the guys and some bona fide funny sequences as they in turn attempt to do right by Mary. Yep it's all telegraphed comedy, and the ending holds no surprises for anyone once Nancy Travis as Mary's mother comes back to claim the child. But come on folks, three beefy bachelors trying to change diapers and entertain a wailing baby has to be charming; surely? 7/10

In the late 80's this was the family comedy by excellence. I mean, it aired regularly on many channels and to be honest, it's a funny but naive movie that had a premise that was very popular at the time; making a baby or infant being the center of the plot.Tom Selleck is great as always and delivers a fine comedic performance. The situations are funny mainly because it demonstrates how a bunch of macho men are able to take care of a baby. Well, that's all you have to know about the plot.The dark urban myth is well known by everybody and I won't get into details about it, or I won't even discuss if it's real or a hoax. The truth is that the "moment" is creepy as hell and makes this family movie a creepy experience for a moment.
