Advantages: Very funny most of the time Disadvantages: Too much time spent dealing with the criminals
THREE MEN AND A BABY is a comedy set in New York city, in the mid-1980s. It stars Steve Guttenberg, Ted Danson and Tom Selleck as three thirty-something friends who live together in New York City. Jack (Ted Danson) is an actor, Peter (Tom Selleck) a successful architect and Michael (Steve Guttenberg) is an artist. The three of them have been enjoying the single life in Manhattan, boasting a very busy social life, and have recently moved in to their ... ...of course centered on the three men's apparent unsuitability and unpreparedness for the parental role they are suddenly forced to play. They are all single men who have been embracing rather enthusiastically the bachelor lifestyle, their personal lives featuring an ever changing cast of women. Of the three, Jack is the biggest womaniser, closely followed by Peter. Michael, on the other hand, is a more sensitive, romantic type, whose time is often ...

Advantages: Steve Guttenberg and baby Mary are adorable Disadvantages: silly drug subplot, a bit clichéd
...flat with pictures of the three roommates, the Rockettes, etc., all in cheesy '80s colours. Peter is an architect and has designed the whole place, along with several skyscrapers. Jack is an irresponsible actor who gets the rest of the guys in trouble. He considers himself a serious thespian, but his biggest roles have been in television adverts. However, he takes himself very seriously, asking an agent at a party, ‘Do you think I'm overexposed?’ ... ...a package delivered to the three men's place. ‘It's a delicate matter, so don't tell anyone about it,’ he says. Jack leaves New York to shoot a film in Turkey and informs his flatmates about the package. On the appointed day, Peter returns from jogging (horrendously short shorts abound in this film, and it's not a pretty sight even on otherwise attractive men) and finds something that couldn't have been delivered by post-- a baby. Conveniently, ...

Who's Your Daddy?? In Three Men and a Baby, Mary (the baby) has a choice of three fathers. Well, that's not entirely true, we know that Mary's father is Jack (Ted Danson), the actor and not so sensible father. He likes the women and generally the women like him and this is how he firstly finds himself in the predicament of bringing up a love child he did not know existed until it turns up on his doorstep. Three Men and a Baby in one of my favourite ... ...to an article I read, Three Men and a Baby was the biggest box office hit of that year, surpassing Fatal Attraction and eventually grossing US$167 million in the United States alone. The movie won the 1988 ASCAP award and the 1988 People's Choice Award for Favorite Comedy Motion Picture. Something I never knew, it was directed by Leonard Nimoy who was Spock in Star Trek!! Jack lives with two other bachelors, Peter (Selleck) and Michael (Guttenberg). ...

Advantages: Good clean comedy Disadvantages: A bit too schmaltzy
...and a Cradle) in which three single men are presented with the fruits of the loins of one of them. The Hollywood version was directed by none other than Leonard Nimoy who boldly goes about his task of bringing the film alive.
The essence of the film is the same as the original and as it is a simple idea stretched to an hour and a half you do get the overall impression of gilding the lily or more accurately labouring the point. Much of the action ... ...context of it with the three confirmed bachelors.
The bachelors are played by Tom Selleck who is a successful architect who retains his cool manly charm before melting at the thought of the baby Mary. Former Cheers star Ted Danson shows a nice turn in his personality for self obsessed and charmless womaniser to sensible and responsible parent. Steve Guttenberg, who always seems the support rather than the star, plays the wacky slightly mad flatmate ...

Advantages: Funny, cute, and it has a baby in!!! Disadvantages: Perhaps some of the jokes are a little obvious
...stuff: The story opens on three comfortably confirmed bachelors living the high life in their trendy apartment in NYC. We have the serious architect (complete with outdated moustache) The frivolous actor, and the cartoon designer (apparently this was a really 'cool' job at the time) Whilst 'the actor' is out of town, on a job which for some reason involves coconuts and drag, the other two guys are having the time of their lives with women, parties, ... ...a church doorstep' style, a baby girl is left on their front doorstep with a note attached outlining that she is the daughter of the actor and that her name is Mary. This is where the really fun stuff begins! Can you imagine giving a baby to two men who have never seen one up close before and asking them to look after it? Exagerate this twofold for comic effect, and you have what happens next in the story. They don't know how to feed her, her nappy ...
