Never mind the retreaded drug subplot or the pat ending--this film still has some
incredibly tender and humorous moments. Three confirmed bachelors find a baby on their
doorstep, and they have to cope with providing the little girl's basic necessities.
Watching these professional men become entirely discombobulated by the child provides the
most humorous moments, but as they warm to her presence and their foster paternal
instincts, the film takes to a level of sincerity not often encountered. This is easily
Tom Selleck's best film (that goes for Guttenberg and Danson, too), and he provides a
fierce protective sense that's nearly palpable. Pretty much a must for any new parents or
anyone who just wants to relive the trials, tribulations, and darn-near panic of learning
just which way the diaper tape should face. --Keith Simanton
From Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide Order this Item
Enjoyable remake of France's big hit THREE MEN AND A CRADLE, about a trio of swinging
bachelor roommates who suddenly find themselves custodians of an infant. Winning
performances all around help keep this buoyant comedy on-track from start to finish.
Followed by 3 MEN AND A LITTLE LADY.

Synopsis Order this Item
A remake of the hit French comedy "Trois Hommes et un Couffin" ("Three
Men and a Cradle") about a trio of confirmed bachelors who unexpectedly discover the
joys of fatherhood when a baby is left on their doorstep. The three men -- an actor, an
architect and a cartoonist -- share a swanky pad where they entertain a steady succession
of one-night stands. This all changes when a woman appears at their apartment one day with
the actor's illegitimate infant. Dad happens to be out of town at the time, so it's up to
his two woefully inexperienced roommates to deal with the baby that has been abandoned to
their care.
