3 hommes et un couffin

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.

First, this movie is a beautiful example why there's am more European kind of humour and a more American kind of it. I once read an American critic who honestly complained that all the funny things happening in this movie were so previsible. Wow, he even must have thought that was smart to realize. In fact, that's what this movie is all about: You know what's going to happen and you enjoy to see HOW it will happen. That's why this movie was remade in the US with Tom Selleck and stripped of all it's original charme, only to be found "better" by some people. Second, this movie is kind of a test whether you should become a dad/mum in your life - or better leave that to others. It worked with me ..two kids... If you vote this movie "9" or above, you should get kids. Below "5" ? Think again! ;-)

I saw this French version with English subtitles. It's so hilarious from the start to end. When three bachelors get a baby girl, first they hesitate about how to live with the baby. Then they start loving her.

There is a subplot of smuggling thrown into it. Nevertheless, the movie falls into a comedy genre.

Well, what can i say, it has to be seen to feel the essence of the movie. Even though, it's in french, i could understand the 99 percent of the movie.

The highlight of the movie is the baby. Her little expressions and movements are the central point of the movie. She makes you feel that absolute innocence. That is where the film succeeds.

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.

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.
