MovieMail's Review

Although best known for spawning a saccharine, though wildly successful, Hollywood remake with Tom Selleck, the original French film of Three Men and a Baby is by far the better film. It follows Jacques, Michel and Pierre, three bachelors who pledge that they will never let a woman spend more than one night at their apartment. Their irresponsible lifestyle is threatened when they find a baby girl abandoned on their doorstep.
Scenes of beautifully-timed broad comedy and numerous amusing misunderstandings unfold in a drug-related sub-plot which adds piquancy to what could have been a formulaic
narrative.
Although the film is a comedy first and foremost, it is nevertheless thoughtful and sensitive with some sharply-observed moments that capture the quirks of human nature succinctly.
It could almost be read as a female fantasy, in which every bachelor can change his attitude when a baby appears. The film deservedly won three French Césars, including
Best Film.

Film Description

AKA 3 Men and a Cradle. Three apartment-sharing Parisian bachelors - Pierre the architect, Michel the cartoonist, and Jacques the air steward - suddenly have their lives turned upside-down when an unknown infant child is left on their doorstep. This is the original film on which the American remake with Tom Selleck was based.
