And unnecessary sequel to a great 80s family movie. It was inevitable that following the success of a "Three Men And A Baby" that a sequel would follow. It was also inevitable that the sequel would be of inferior quality. Plot In A Paragraph: The three men (Peter, Michael, and Jack) are back and are still living with Mary, who is now five, and her mother, Sylvia. The group is split up when Sylvia announces that she is marrying an Englishman and that they intend to move to England after the wedding, taking Mary with them. The first movie had plenty of laughs and charm, this one is almost laugh free, and is vastly inferior.Tom Selleck has a certain charm but he will always be a poor mans version of Burt Reynolds. Ted Danson plays Sam Malone (from Cheers) just with a different name, which is no bad thing as he brings the movies one funny line. When Peter (Selleck) is shooting down every potential husband for Sylvia, Jack snaps "Jesus Peter!! We're not asking you to marry him!!" And every time I see Steve Guttenberg I can't help but wonder what happened to him and his career.
... View MoreThis movie is the sequel to 3 Men and a Baby which is based on a French Film. Unfortunately I have not seen the French film so I cannot comment on it, though I would like to. This movie is the sequel to the American version so I doubt that I can compare it with the original anyway. The baby girl has now grown up and they are looking to take her to a school. At this time she is having fun with three dads but when she gets to school she learns that this is not normal. It seems that this is going to be the plot, with her trying to adapt to the social norm when she does not fall into it, but this is not the case. Rather her mother decides that she needs to marry and they guy, Tom Sellick, whom she wants to marry seems to be more interested in the girl than her so she goes after a wealthy director who lives in England. At first the director seems to be a nice guy but we learn that he is really a creep and this comes to revelation when he secretly sends the girl to a harsh boarding school. Thus the three men but prove to the woman that he really is a creep. This movie is not really a thematic movie but it is still enjoyable. There are two quite funny characters, the butler and the substitute vicar that makes a joke out of senility. Yet a theme does exist in the movie and that is that a child needs a mother and a father. Sending children to a private school is not really appropriate if it is simply to get them out of the way. Sometimes it is not possible to have the children attend school, especially if the child lives in the country and finds it difficult to attend school every day, so a boarding school is appropriate. Unfortunately people use such schools as a way to get their children out of their hair, which is what I feel is quite inappropriate. Marriage implies that the partners take upon each other's burdens. If one partner has a child then when you marry the woman you take the child as your own. It is not appropriate to marry then send the child away, especially without informing the mother. This is why Sellick was the much better father, but he focused on the girl and not the mother, which is what upset the mother. Yet it is revealed later that he did love the mother but was too shy to reveal this. Instead he hid behind the child so that he did not need to expose himself. I did not find the movie all that bad, though the critics scathed it. I disagree. Though it was clichéd in a lot of places, it was still quite a good movie.
... View MoreI really liked Three Men and a Baby and I really liked this film. To be honest, while there are those who will think it is better and those it is inferior, I actually put these two films equally. It could have been a tad shorter though, and there are one or two predictable parts, then again the first one did too. What I did like about Three Men and a Little Lady was its cuteness and charm. This is not the best movie I have ever seen, but it never tried to be, neither did it attempt to be better than the first. It was just an enjoyable movie, with one or two minor problems along the way. The scenery and cinematography was actually pretty lovely, and I liked the soundtrack too. The script was decent, the pacing was snappy, the story while predictable was entertaining and there were some funny sight gags and situations. The direction was neat, and the acting was fine. Robin Weisman is quite appealing as Mary, and Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg and Ted Danson were great together and individually. Also seeing Shiela Hancock is always a plus. Overall, cute and entertaining. 8/10 Bethany Cox
... View Morei have seen this movie many times and it does not ever get boring. This is one of my favourite movies of all time, with comedy and romance and lots more emotions. Sylvia's work increasingly takes her away from the three men who help bring up Mary, her daughter. When she decides to move to England and take Mary with her, the three men are heartbroken at losing the two most important females in their lives. Mary(played by Robin W)is very cute to watch. Also the three main guy actors Micheal(Steve Guttenberg), Peter (Tom selleck)and Jack (Ted Danson) are great viewing, especially at the end, with the wedding scenes. Really is worth watching.
