Mary is now 5. She and her mother Sylvia Bennington (Nancy Travis) have ingrained themselves into the lives of Peter Mitchell (Tom Selleck), Michael Kellam (Steve Guttenberg), and Jack Holden (Ted Danson). The five of them have become an unique family. Baby daddy Jack continues to be irresponsible while Peter is falling for Sylvia. Then she announces that she's marrying Edward Hargreave and moving to England.The comedy is not that funny. It feels especially sitcomy. It isn't fresh anymore. There is a compelling romance rising out of the ashes. The guys remain likable. Sylvia has a central role this time around along with little girl Mary. It's a secondary sequel and not quite that good.

Three Men And A Little Lady picks up where its predecessor Three Men And A Baby left off with bachelors Tom Selleck, Ted Danson, and Steve Guttenberg all setting up house with Nancy Travis and their daughter Robin Weisman who's now about seven. Travis back in her swinging youth was involved with all these guys and all stepped up to the plate. They've created a most unusual household.But Travis hasn't heard marriage from any of them and indeed why would she in this situation. So she's accepting the proposal of director Christopher Cazenove and is ready to move across the pond and do her acting career in the United Kingdom. That doesn't sit well with any of the guys, particularly the one that Travis was really waiting for a proposal from. Time to bust this situation up since Cazenove hasn't been truthful about a few things especially where the little lady is concerned.This film more than any other gives credence to Hillary Clinton's quoted African maxim that it takes a village to raise a child. Any more in that household you'd have a small village. If you liked the first film and the characters created you'll like this one.The man hungry Fiona Shaw, headmistress of a most strict boarding school in England has the best supporting performance. What she does to Tom Selleck almost makes it to rape.Three Men And A Little Lady should be pleasant viewing fare for fans of the three stars and Nancy Travis.

I haven't seen all of the first one but I thought the second one was great. It's filled with charm, innocence, drama, comedy, and romance and I thought it was a pretty nice mixture of them. 3 men and a little lady is about a little girl, Mary who is all grown up now and is still babysitted by three men. Once she discovers about going to England, it starts making her a little moved and isolated as well as her three most crucial companions but soon recalls her supernatural-ness to see her friends with closed eyes. I know that the first film seems a little like Baby Boom but both this and that were good films. I thought this one was cute and wasn't bad at all. Three men and a little lady is an emotionally uplifting movie that will raise your moral and spirited levels.

I wasn't paying the fullest attention to the entirety of this sequel to the great original, from director Emile Ardolino (Dirty Dancing, Sister Act), but I certainly noticed it enough to realise it deserves the two star rating (out of five) from the critics. Basically Peter 'Pete' Mitchell (Tom Selleck), Michael 'Mike' Kellam (Steve Guttenberg) and Jack Holden (Ted Danson) are still living with Sylvia Bennington (Nancy Travis, with a little more believable English accent) and the daughter she and Jack had, now grown-up Mary (Robin Weisman). This story sees Sylvia's work making her move back to England, while Pete and Mike follow Jack is filming. The boys, especially Pete who eventually realises he loves Sylvia, are trying to make sure not only Mary has a good school, not boarding, and towards the end stop Sylvia's wedding to some bozo. Also starring Christopher Cazenove as Edward Hargreave, Sheila Hancock as Vera Bennington, Harry Potter's Fiona Shaw as Miss Elspeth Lomax, John Boswall as Barrow, Edward's Butler and Jonathan Lynn as Vicar Hewitt. To be honest, only the opening montage and music, and the only funny moment of the film when Jack is disguised with great make-up as a vicar, these are the only worthwhile parts. If you liked the first film, I would insist you don't bother with this nonsense, a terrible comedy sequel. Pretty poor!
