Drei Weihnachtsmänner und ein Baby

Why does this have such glowing reviews?

Three reasons:

It's very, very funny. It's well written. And the cast, for the most part, are all equally superb.

Paul Campbell and Kimberly Sustad have hopefully already signed long-term contracts w/Hallmark as they clearly know what they're doing. They're both not only excellent actors with great comic timing, but they KNOW HOW TO WRITE comedy -- and drama as well.

They create empathetic characters with believable relationships right from the start. No line is wasted, no line is unnecessary. A few reviewers have mentioned how horrible and unfunny it is that someone left a baby alone right before Christmas, but IMO these people must've gotten up on the wrong side of the bed and are really angry about something else in their lives.

It's a MOVIE, not a documentary, and again, the way it's set up is credible, as is the resolution.

And while all three leads are great -- both funny and at times very touching -- special kudos go out to Tyler Hynes, who's dry, sarcastic delivery is spot-on, and to Margaret Collins, who matches him line for line. She's completely believable as the mother of these three misfits.

Bravo Hallmark. (Something I never thought I'd say.)

Luke (Andrew Walker) is a fireman and one day someone drops a baby and a note specifically asking him to take care of baby Thomas. Just another day dropping babies with strangers. So, he is determined to take care of him for a few days just as the note says. Stephan (Paul Campell) and Taylor (Tyler Hynes), his brothers help him do so.

It is known this was one of the most awaited Hallmark movies of the Christmas season due to our three leads. But the fact that it was written by Paul and Kimberley Sustad improved this by a 100%.

It is funny. It is very funny. There are funny moments, there are great one liners specially by Taylor. I have never been a Tyler fan but he's been my favorite in his last two movies. (Maybe it's the beard and the short hair, who knows?)

Other than funny, it's real. You see three men taking care of a baby but you also see three boys whose father left them and all of them have insecurities or anxieties because of that. Other than that, their relationship broke as well. Funny that a unknown baby is the one to put it back together. I really liked that the romance is minimum. You blink and you missed it.

When I saw that Kimberley co-wrote this, of course I was expecting her appearance. I was not disappointed. It's a shame she wasn't Stephan's love interest. She and Paul make a great duo. You know who is also in this movie? Ali Liebert. Another favorite. This was great.

Anyway, do yourself a favor and watch this. I will definitely watch it again.

Almost every Hallmark movie uses the same formula, a single woman with some stereotypical job who wants to make it in business meets an attractive single male... It's really, really, really BORING ! This movie isn't.

So what if this was a rip off of "Three Men and a Baby", plenty of Hallmark films are rip offs of previous ones. And Hollywood is full of rip offs and remakes, there isn't a lot that is new. I really liked Paul Campbell, Andrew Walker and Tyler Hynes together in this film, we know them from other rom-coms. They are flexible and can do romance and comedy.

Kudos to Paul Campbell and Kimberly Sustad for their script. I really liked them together in "A Wedding Every Weekend".

This was better than I expected. It was nice to see men as a lead in a Hallmark movie. It's always a female. It was kind of like the 80s version three men and a baby. Three brothers ( Paul walker, Tyler Hines, Paul Campbell) are forced to work together to care for a baby and you can tell the brothers did not really get along. .This will bring them closer together and they will be able to rebuild their relationships. It was their first time being all together in a Hallmark movie and you can tell they had a lot of fun with it. Not sure what else I have to say but, my review is too short so give it a try if you like Hallmark movies. Also, the movie. Was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia.

I really enjoy this movie, the humour, family connection of not being perfect as we all see within these Christmas movies. I really like all three male actors. That "LOVE" between a man and woman wasn't the focus of this movie. It was more about family and the brotherly love. I have already watched it twice and will watch it again next year I am sure. How we see all three brothers so different in their personalities but in the end all come together. The other cast members all played great and interesting parts to the movies which just added to a great movie. I could also see another movie with the same characters next year.
