Based on the French film, Three Men and a Cradle, this is acceptable comedy, but cinema it is not.

Reviews for Three Men and a Baby
Top CriticIt is shamelessly sentimental, and could well send the hardboiled home to kick the cat.

Top CriticLet me just put it this way: if you've ever had a baby, spent time with a baby, or been within 20 yards of a baby, you know why this is funny.

Simple-minded situation comedy, but undeniably appealing.
07/10/03
The balance of the film is devoted to milking as much humor as possible out of the situation of three urbane young men trying to play nursemaid with nary a clue of what they're doing.

As long as the script tracks the men's relationship with the baby, the picture is lively froth.
01/01/00
The mix of comedy and melodrama is pretty well done.
07/15/04
The movie never steps wrong as long as it focuses on the developing love between the two big men and the tiny baby.

Funny, dated sexist comedy
10/24/04
Saccharine feel-good mainstream comedy geared to the Lowest Common Denominator.
03/18/03
Director Leonard Nimoy does not use his ears for comedy -- nor his eyes, even. His three leads recite their lines as though they wanted to take their jumbo-sized salaries and run -- which, given this movie, maybe isn't such a dumb idea.
