Drei Männer und ein Baby

I was in my first wedding anniversary when we decided to watch this movie and remember our honeymoon in Paris. The french atmosphere is perfect, and the actors very good. The way of acting is different from the american way.

The movie is almost happened in the interior of an apartment. Very intimate. The same directrix was invited to direct the american remake. It wasn't the same as the original.

I saw the American version of this movie a long time ago, but as I remember it, I prefer this original French version.

The acting is good, especially Roland Giraud. The first half of the movie is simply hilarious. It's even better when you know french, because some of the fun always get lost during translation.

Still good today.

Out of 100, I gave it 77. That's **½ on a **** stars rating system.

Seen at home in Welland. June 23th, 2001. Marko Roy.

The movie has aged. It was funnier when it came out in 1985.

Michel Boujenah and especially Roland Giraud were very entertaining.

Unfortunately, Andre Dussollier's acting was a total disappointment. The entire time I watched the movie, I kept telling myself how horrible his acting was.

Overall, the story does not make a lot of sense (mother abandoning baby at the door step, Jacques' mother refusing to care for her grandchild, Air France's stewart dealing heroine, but returning from Thailand with no drugs in his possession, etc.) but most viewers will look past this nonsense and enjoy the movie for what it is.

A baby is left on the doorstep by its mother, three sceptical men grow to love the infant, but which is the real father?

A gentle touching comedy, quieter than the American version. Worth a viewing, although because of the language barrier if for no other reason, this film will be deprived a truly mass audience.

The 3 men's lives in this story have no real meaning or depth.

They seem to be living the ideal care-free life from a man's point of view. The baby will reveal their emptiness,and fill their lives in a way they never dreamed possible. Hats off to Coline Serreau for this fine film. I saw it when it first came out and it has aged well. Upon viewing it now that I have become a father of six,I have to say it seems better then ever to me ! I now understand it on a very different level,one can easily say it is a critique of our modern western "bourgeois" societies that have become allergic to children, especially babies. And it does so without sacrificing it's excellent humour. Note: This is a french movie,in order to really savor it to the full you must ideally understand french culture, and see it in french. From this perspective this genuinely funny comedy is worth a solid 10.
