Three Men and a Baby Funny Moments
Easy watch
THREE MEN AND A BABY is one of the big beasts of Hollywood cinema of the 1980s. It's a simple story, one that's well executed by Leonard Nimoy in one of his forays behind the camera, and truth be told there's little to dislike about it as a film. It's basically Steve Guttenberg, Ted Danson, and Tom Selleck in an apartment looking after a baby.
You can guess the easy, laid back nature of the film in this film and it really is an easy viewing experience. Even a mildly suspenseful crime style sub-plot added to the proceedings never endangers the characters much or adds much in the way of real danger to the story. The three main actors are all charismatic and you can easily see why women would fall in love with them, although it's worth noting that the baby is the real scene stealer here.
THREE MEN AND A BABY frequently threatens to veer into cheesy sentimentality, particularly at the climax, but that it never becomes too overwhelming is testament to its success as a film.

Fun comedy about three confirmed bachelor dads
This is a really cute, light hearted comedy. The plot may be pretty unrealistic, the ending kooky & unbelievable, and don't get your morals from it, but all in all...it's great fun to watch.
The story revolves around three carefree bachelors (Peter, Michael, and Jack) who share a New York City apartment. All are busy with their jobs, girlfriends, and social lives and have no intention of settling down anytime soon. While actor Jack is away shooting a movie, a baby is left outside their apartment door with a note indicating that this is Jack's child from an affair with his co star (though he's previously been unaware of this offspring's existence). His two room mates mistakenly believe that they are to deliver the baby to a couple of men who appear at the door asking for 'a package'. Right before they are about to hand the baby over, they realize these men are drug dealers. Then the bachelors have to contend with the baby's care as well as the drug dealers' demands for payment.
The three bachelors are played by famous name stars...Tom Sellick (Peter, the architect), Steve Guttenberg (Michael, the artist), and Ted Danson (Jack, the actor). Their considerable talents and playboyish charisma have a lot to do with this movie's success. The unlikely trio must learn to juggle the demands of baby care with their careers and social lives. It's really fun to watch them in all the stereotypical hilarious circumstances of diapering and baby tending. The men's paternal instincts come into play and the bachelors grow quite attached to the little tyke.
Directed by Leonard Nimoy (Spock, my favourite), this is a generally light, mindless, and entertaining movie that shows how these three 'hunks' & confirmed bachelors are won over by little baby Mary. Switch your brain into neutral and enjoy the ride.

Bad bad bad bad boys, make us feel so good.
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

Cute comedy
"3 Men and a Baby" is a comedy that's cute and funny. Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg, and Ted Danson star as three bachelors who live together, and who's lives are changed forever when on one particular day a baby infant is left on their doorstep. The three bachelors are now forced unexpectedly to become fathers to the baby. Plenty of wonderful comedy scenes throughout as the three stars go through the frustrations of having to deal with this infant girl in the early stages, then the baby eventually starts to win them over. If only the filmmakers threw out the subplot involving drugs, then this film would've been a great comedy.

Thoroughly enjoyable and funny
I was actually surprised at how much I liked 3 Men and a Baby. I agree there are some hit-and-miss moments, and it does start off slowly, but a vast majority of it is very funny and enjoyable. The story is simple, three bachelors find a baby on the doorstep and before long they are knee-deep in bottles, nappies and goo. No matter how simple this story is it is effective too.
Leonard Nimoy's direction adeptly keeps the entertainment and comedy afloat and it comes thick and fast, while the script has plenty of funny and engaging moments. The film is very nice visually, especially loved that apartment, and the music is good enough. The acting I had little problem with either, Ted Danson, Steve Guttenberg and Tom Selleck show great chemistry together and deliver great performances individually as each of their characters get increasingly harassed while adapting to changing, feeding and burping duties, and the baby was very cute.
All in all, very enjoyable and fun. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Not bad! Quite funny!
It turned out to be a good idea after all. I actually liked this movie since I have seen it years ago. I can't remember until now the appeal. It's actually cute and well-done without any real nonsense. It actually makes sense when you watch it. It is actually entertaining without overdoing it. It's a great family movie too. There are hilarious moments between the men and baby Mary. I only wished she had a better name than Mary. The cast is first rate with Tom Selleck, Ted Danson, and Steve Gutenberg as the three fathers and Nancy Travis as British Sylvia. I love seeing Celeste Holm playing grandmother to baby Mary even if it was for only a moment. They have quite a ball with baby Mary in their lives even though she was a surprise beyond belief. Baby Mary usually steals the scene because of her beauty. Babies are beautiful and fun but lots of work for one parent, much less two or three or four parents. I won't give away the ending but I think they should have filmed it in New York City rather in Toronto but that's just my opinion.

"These diapers are too big!" .. "They're 'super absorbent'!"
Popular comedy, a remake of the French farce "Three Men and a Cradle" from 1985, wrings (repeated) easy laughs from the sight of three clueless guys trying to change a dirty diaper. Bachelor roommates in Manhattan--Tom Selleck, Ted Danson and Steve Guttenberg--become temporary caretakers of an infant girl left on their doorstep, fathered by one of the three men. For those still watching--and no doubt hoping for more--there's also a subplot about heroin dealers and cops on the New York City narcotics squad. Leonard Nimoy was chosen as director, and he shows about as much style and humor as would any Vulcan. Followed by a sequel, "Three Men and a Little Lady", in 1990.

three stars with some charms
Architect Peter Mitchell (Tom Selleck) has an ex in Rebecca (Margaret Colin). Michael Kellam (Steve Guttenberg) is a sensitive cartoonist. Jack Holden (Ted Danson) is a playboy actor. The three bachelors happily share a Manhattan penthouse with a long line of women coming in and out. Then somebody leaves a baby at their doorstep. A note indicates that Mary is the result of an union between Jack and Sylvia (Nancy Travis). Jack is away doing a TV movie. Peter and Michael are forced to deal with the baby. Jack has a package of drugs delivered to the apartment which is to be picked up by two men. Peter and Michael mistakenly assume the baby to be the package. Narcotics officer Sgt. Melkowitz (Philip Bosco) come to question the guys.
The combination of the three stars makes this work. Selleck is terrific. This has good comedy and some awkward stuff. I can do without the heroin. It takes the movie down a dark alley. The tone is completely wrong. I would have liked more with Rebecca and Sylvia doesn't need to be British. Overall, it's a mix bag with some laughs.

real good
To be real critic about this film is not so easy. Because it is nice and honest and predictable. Because it is build around three good comedy actors from legendary series and because it propose the high nightmare of many bachelors. So, it is real good. And like the wines, after decades it becomes better and better.

The kid's alright.
'Three Men And A Baby (1987)' tells the story of... well, three men and a baby. One day, a crib rocks up on the doorstep of thee bachelor roommates (though one of them is out of town for quite some time) and the unsuspecting soon-to-be-dads have to figure out how to take care of the baby it carries until someone comes to take her off their hands. They also have to contend with a mysterious package that some unsavoury types - as well as the cops - are looking for. It's a typical sort of 'fish out of water' comedy that focuses on the evolving relationship the three men have with the child, initially finding it a nuisance but eventually coming to love it as their own. Sure, it follows a tried-and-tested formula, but it follows it fairly well. It's enjoyable enough and has a few chuckle-worthy moments. Having said that, the thing isn't all that engaging or, even, memorable. Plus, it rockets past its natural conclusion with a bizarrely extended final movement that really feels as though it should have had more screen-time (it certainly feels more relevant than the almost obligatory drug plotline). When it comes down to it, the movie is perfectly passable entertainment. It's good enough for what it is, I suppose, even if I find myself less aware of its existence with each passing moment. 6/10.

Eighties classic still holds it's own
Warning: Spoilers
Until last night if someone had asked me about Three Men and A Baby, I would have said...oh great movie, classic eighties I loved it! Well, it being one of my wife's all time favourites she insisted we watched it and now I'm convinced that it might have been the first time I've seen it all the way through. It is a fun, madcap adventure that's only problem is that with time it has become a little predictable. However, that doesn't make it any less fun and it certainly presents the best possible of "baby changing bachelor(s) life" and "inept new father's taking care of baby." Its not a new concept, we've seen it time and time again even on Television but this is still an 80's classic thanks to chemistry of the cast, a solid story and simple fun. Only an eighties movie could mix together the new father angle with drug dealers and a thriller type ending in a construction building. A great 80's film in my opinion encompasses and shows off everything we loved about the 80's and this film does that. Success, gluttony (but in a good way), free love, spirit, bright bold and sassy with a touch of gaudiness and you will see all of that in Three Men and a Baby. It also is unique in the fact that it really isn't a family film, it really was geared to adults making it a unique comedy in that way.
I could start with any of the main three guys but I will start with my favourite, the unbeatable Mr. Tom Selleck. He's handsome, he's suave, he's an incredibly versatile actor and he was at his prime in this film. His chemistry is palpable and you can see it at every turn. He is a scene stealer just by being Tom Selleck. You can't hardly make an adult 80's comedy without Steve Guttenberg. You can make fun of him, and you can point out he is always the same character but you can't deny he commands attention in 80's comedies. He has a down to earth style that you really like and he's good in this. I happen to think that he gets downplayed because of Selleck and Ted Danson but he is still a welcome member of the cast and has great comedic timing. Ted Danson basically plays Sam Malone in this film. He is absent for almost half the movie and his character has a much faster story than the other two guys but he is still a necessary part to the three men aspect. You can't deny the three of them have great chemistry and they all have at least one great scene between them that will make you laugh, smile or feel all warm and fuzzy. I can't say a lot for the supporting cast, they are all good but they do nothing more than support the three guys. Even our "villains" are mostly just run of the mill bad guys that don't really shine in their roles but they are completely adequate.
I was nearly bowled over when I saw Leonard Nimoy directed this film. I just had no idea that he did anything like this as a director. He does a very good job. He keeps the script simple and he lets his three stars do what they do best. All three of them were 80's TV and movie heavyweights so you just let them do what they do and it works. The movie is fun and light, cute and weepy at times but it just hits the right chords. No one will ever say its a brilliant feat of film making but the fun and entertainment factor is without a doubt high! If you love 80's then you have to see this of course, and moreso if you want a light fun comedy then look no further because this will fill the void!! 8/10

Star-power highlights this film
Ted Danson, Tom Selleck, and Steve Guttenberg star in this light- hearted comedy about how 3 New York bachelors receive a big change in their lives after finding a baby on their doorstep. With humor that primarily surround the ordeal the 3 men have to contend with, 3 MEN AND A BABY relies on the chemistry the 3 main stars generate with
each other. At first they experience dismay with the infant; I mean, how can three unmarried men take care of a baby?! But soon enough the 3 guys fall in love with her. But with good measure, a drug- smuggling subplot is thrown in (probably to make it not look like your a typical family-oriented comedy). Nevertheless, Danson, Selleck, and Guttenberg shine. The same goes for the cute little baby Mary, and a
good direction from an unlikely director, Leonard "Mr. Spock" Nimoy himself!

Despite the Flaws It's Still Very Funny and Charming
3 Men and a Baby (1987)
*** (out of 4)
Remake of a French movie about three bachelors (Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg, Ted Danson) whose lives are turned upside down when one of their former lovers drops off a baby girl at their door. Soon the three men have to put their lives on hold while they try and figure out the way to take care of a baby. 3 MEN AND A BABY was one of the biggest hits of the decade and it's easy to see why because it just has crowd pleaser written all over it. That's certainly not to say that it's the perfect movie because there are way too many flaws for that but in the end there's no denying that there are plenty of laughs and all sorts of cuteness. I think the weakest part of the film is an entire subplot dealing with some heroin being dropped off at the boy's apartment and them unknowingly getting involved with a bunch of crooks. Revisiting the film after so many years had me rather shocked at how much time is actually spent on this and it simply should have been cut. I know this happened in the original movie but when you're dealing with laughs and charm some of this stuff just goes over-the-top and all the time spent on it just takes away from the men and the baby. The film is at its strongest when the screenplay just lets the men do their thing. Selleck, Guttenberg and Danson all have their own style of comedy and the film greatly benefits when they're allowed to just do their thing. Selleck is certainly the strongest of the group but he is the lead and given the majority of the strong stuff including a hilarious bit inside a store when he's trying to figure out what type of food to get the baby. Guttenberg is also extremely effective with the child and this gives the film a lot of its charm. Twin girls were used for the part of the baby and even though they didn't have to "act", the child is so cute and adorable you can't help but fall in love with her just as the three men are doing in the movie. Again, this film is far from flawless but at the same time it's hard to not get sucked into the story and bowled over with its charm.

Doordash Daughter
Two irresponsible adults had a night of sex. A little over a year later irresponsible adult number one (we'll call her Sylvia (Nancy Travis)) dropped off the results of that night at irresponsible adult number two's house (we'll call him Jack Holden (Ted Danson)). The results of that night just so happen to be a beautiful baby girl named Mary.
Jack wasn't home at the time of the delivery so Jack's roommates, Peter (Tom Selleck) and Michael (Steve Guttenberg) were left holding the bag. Well, in this case, the baby. There were plenty of follies as these two oblivious bachelors stumbled their way through caring for a child. Fortunately for them, Jack arrived back home after a few days and was able to chip in to help care for his daughter.
This was an adorable movie but I don't want to talk about that. I want to talk about Sylvia. She dropped the baby off at the front door. There was nine months of pregnancy and another three months or so of child rearing and not once did she call, write, or send a telegram telling Jack that he's a father. Yet, in a moment of weakness, she drops off her baby at Jack's front door.
Now, me personally, I'm getting medical proof that I'm the father. Not that Mary wasn't a bundle of joy or anything, but because Sylvia's methods of dropping a baby on Jack were so outrageous. I would be thinking that the real father split and I was the next best option.
Jack was too good of a guy (or too gullible) to get a paternity test and his roommates were too head-over-heels to even suggest it. It's not like a woman would lie about such a thing right?
As I said, the movie was adorable and it was a comedy after all. There was no need to darken the mood by going to a doctor or by suggesting that precious little Mary could be anybody's daughter. Nevermind my cynical musing, Three Men and a Baby was awesome.

Three Men and a Baby
Warning: Spoilers
I had heard enough about this film, and I was certainly not going to miss it when the opportunity came along, from director Leonard Nimoy (Spock from Star Trek). Basically bachelors Peter 'Pete' Mitchell (Magnum, P.I.'s Tom Selleck), Michael 'Mike' Kellam (Police Academy's Steve Guttenberg) and Jack Holden (Cheers' Ted Danson) share an apartment in Manhattan. Actor Jack goes away to film in Turkey, and Pete and Mike find a baby, Mary (twins Lisa and Michelle Blair), left on their doorstep, with a note that it's Jack's from a woman named Sylvia. They are convinced it's a package Jack was expecting, and realise they have to look after it, changing diapers, feeding and entertaining it. They eventually realise the package is in fact some drugs, and when Jack gets back Pete and Mike refuse to help him, since it's his kid. After thwarting the gangster bust that Jack is involved in, the three men spend more time with baby Mary (shown in a montage). After a little while, English Sylvia (Nancy Travis) shows up wanting to take the baby back, taking it with her to the airport, which the boys try and stop, but in the end she can't face taking the baby away from them, and needs help, so they all move in together, a happy ending. Also starring Celeste Holm as Mrs. Holden, Philip Bosco as Det. Sgt. Melkowitz, Derek De Lint as Jan Clopatz, Paul Guilfoyle as Vince, Alexandra Amini as Patty, Cynthia Harris as Mrs. Hathaway, Claire Cellucci as Angelyne, Michelle Duquet as Tawnya, Earl Hindman as Satch, Jackie Richardson as Edna, John Gould Rubin as Paul Milner, Camilla Scott as Cherise, Sharolyn Sparrow as Vanessa, Louise Vallance as Sally, Jonathon Whittaker as Adam and A Bug's Life's Dave Foley as Grocery Store Clerk. Selleck, Guttenberg and Danson each get their equal amount of laughs, the baby situations they encounter are all both adorable and funny, the drug dealing plot perhaps slows things, but overall it is a charming and great comedy that may get men thinking twice about having kids. Very good!

Yes, all men are incapable of handling one small child.
Yes, if we are to believe this movie men who do not have a female present have absolutely no idea how to raise a baby are do anything. Not only is this child left in the care of one guy, but three all of which have no clue how to raise a baby and are completely lost, so all three roommates were only children are had no younger siblings to take care of. If this is the case then you can easily title this movie Three women and a baby as they would be just as lost in that scenario as a guy would be, but for some reason people think women just magically know what to do and men are idiots when it comes to children. The three idiots in question here are Tom Selleck and Ted Danson, known mainly for television work and Steve Guttenberg known mainly for being really lucky to have a Hollywood career. This film is also known for starring a cardboard cutout of a boy who was supposedly a ghost of some kid who blew his brains out by accident in the apartment where this film was shot even though all interior shots of the place were on a set. One has to wonder how much of this movie's success came from the story and how much came from idiots who wanted to see this movie cause they thought there was a ghost in it. In the end, this film is like a long list of crappy films that have babies and idiots raising them and for me it was not very good. I like Ted Danson, but he is basically doing his Sam Malone here, in fact in every movie he was in during this era he was usually in Sam Malone character. However, he is the best thing in the movie and has the funniest moments while Selleck and Guttenberg play lame clueless idiots.

Spock makes a good movie
Three men and a baby is a good example of a feel-good comedy/drama. The cast is big named with stars like Steve Guttenburg, Tom Selleck, and Ted Danson as three bachelors living in an apartment (with a ghost) who gets a baby at their doorstep. I think that that's pretty creative. Leonard Nimoy aka Spock directs this and it is good.
Overall the movie is a good feel-good comedy and I enjoyed it. Look for the boy in the window. the ghost. Rating 9 out of 10.

This kid's alright
Not at all surprised that this was the hit of '87. Such star power isn't dismissed easily and neither is the target audience of women that love single dads. I can't imagine this was a hard sell.
And I'm a softie, so I fall right in with that audience. I loved seeing that baby wrap three freewheeling bachelors around her tiny finger and I think it was done well from a writing standpoint. This felt entirely relatable to me (kids tend to do that).
Put it this way: this is a lighthearted romcom that swayed a violent movie devotee. I figure that speaks volumes.

Everyone Loves Babies
Warning: Spoilers
I own this charming film on VHS tape. It's been a while since I've seen it, but I remember it with tender and life-affirming pleasure. Indeed, it is a lightweight, somewhat implausible Hollywood comedy with three impossibly well-off, comely, and well-adjusted bachelors in a cavernous apartment (imagine the rent). But Selleck, Guttenburg, and Danson earn their laughs (although I fould the latter just a tad stiff) and after cherubic baby Mary enters their lives, they earn our hearts. During the middle of the film after the drug dealers have tied up the babysitter, trashed the apartment looking for the heroin, and left the baby in a closet with threats to return, when Selleck finds the baby and says, "Nobody is going to hurt you, nobody is going to hurt you", despite the unsavory drug plot, the movie grabs you in its caring but firm embrace. When Mary's mother returns for the baby after abandoning her on the doorstep, at first you want to condemn her. But when she tearfully explains to the trio why she did it, I think you forgive her. "Three Men and a Baby" demonstrates that the simple love of an adult for an infant is enough for a compelling story and will more than compensate for an awkwardly shoe-horned subplot and even Danson's (Mary's biological father's) negligence.
There's a vital place on this planet for "feel-good" movies like "Three Men and a Baby".

Ughh- Maybe worth seeing once. Maybe...
THREE MEN AND A BABY has bad acting (anything with Guttenburg you know's going to stink to high heaven), bad screenplay, and not so funny humor. Although, it has SOME moments that you laugh at, so maybe you should watch it...just once. I don't highly recommend it at all though. It's a bit of a mixed vote for me. 2/5 stars-

"Three Men and a Baby" is one of those movies like "Ghostbusters" that you enjoy in spite of the fact that you realize that they are only made for money and are otherwise empty. I saw this about three times when it was new and laughed like a loon each time. A couple of days ago, I saw a dubbed version on Czech TV. This time, only a few of the jokes made me laugh such as the drug hiding jokes, the scenes of the three roomies being obviously outside of their element with the baby and that masterpiece of a scene where Tom Selleck tells off the pompous Hungarian celloist (I always loved that one). Otherwise, the only other entertainment value is provided by the "goofball with a heart of gold" appeal of the three lead actors and a cute little baby for the more sentimental viewers. One thing which struck me though was just how garishly the 80s the music and the fashions were ! When people think "good 1980s music", they usually think of new wave and some of the better hard rock stuff. The music here, though, is exactly the kind of sugary drivel that is best left forgotten. And the fashions, of course, make everyone look like either a "Miami Vice" fan or an ultra clean cut Young Republican. "Three Men and a Baby" is a genuine artifact in this sense.

Cute.
Cute title, cute movie, cutepremise-what can I say about it? Well first,this will sound really lame but in reviewing this movie all I can say is:read what its about if you haven't seen it and if it sounds interesting you'll probebly like this and if not, don't bother. Pretty short and sweet but this movie is pretty much what you see is what you get. For me, it had it's cute moments but it got a little tiresome after the beginning.There's nothing hidden here, it's about-well-three men and a baby-As mentioned it's cute-the people who want to see movies about 3 men raising a baby will enjoy this, those who don't won't. Ok-I'll add that some parts are very touching. This is NOT a movie that you can easily dislike or hate, it's to-well-cute! I don't consider it anything special but one's enjoyment of it depends entirely on the types of movies they like.

Three men find their hearts.
Warning: Spoilers
After the delightful opening credits showing how three bachelors turn their Manhattan bachelor pad into a real work of art, this popular comedy takes off as these determinedly single men find another female in their life: a young baby girl. Little baby Mary is adorable, and even a curmudgeon like myself is entranced by her cooing and laughter.
But for father Ted Danson, it's a nightmare when he returns from a movie shoot in Turkey, and finds his very annoyed roommates (Tom Selleck and Steve Guttenberg) having taken care of not only this but the package of illegal drugs left for him to hold onto. These three men must learn to really grow upon a short period of time and start to care about something a little more substantial than their bachelor life.
I could have done without the drug involved subplot, but when they're focusing on the conflicts that occur in trying to raise a child without proper knowledge of how to do it, the film is truly one of the funniest films of the 1980's. Stage and screen icon Celeste Holm has a memorable cameo as Danson's mother. Margaret Colin, Nancy Travis (as the natural mother) and Philip Bosco as the narcotics agent with a secret soft spot for babies are also good. The men's apartment is also one of the most fabulous living spots I've ever seen.

Damn nostalgia
To be completely honest, if we put nostalgia for 80's and childhood aside, together with everything being so sweet and cute, this movie is really a crap. Too shallow for a drama and fails as a comedy too cause I did not laugh once. But nostalgia and cuteness... <3
6/10

3 men. 1 baby. Lots of laughs
This is one of those classic 80's films that are still beloved by millions today.
It takes a while to get going, but one the bombshell is dropped the film starts to be quite funny, with all three of the male leads being given the chance to show off their natural comedic skills.
It's not my favourite 80's comedy, but its likable enough.
