"Babies. All they do is eat, sleep and poop.. "
Peter Mitchell
Three Men and a Baby
1987
If it hasn't been mentioned before... Children change everything!!! Of course they change the world for the best, how could they not with their adorable grins, pudgy little cheeks, all the layers and crevices, the soft skin, the little laugh and cries...
Yes.. I remember it fondly. I still tell everyone that I completely had it wrong when babies are born.
Hollywood makes it appear so glamorous. A clean baby, not crying, just wrapped up warm and snug in a blanket, resting on mommy's chest. Ah yes.. Hollywood. What they don't tell you... well, Three Men and a Baby captured everything in between.
This film was great! Demonstrating that life is definitely about patience, and creativity.
Three Men and A Baby expressed that babies as cute, and charming and fun, are a lot of work. That work is well paid off throughout the years. My daughter is 3 and amazes me each day. The off the wall witty humor, the will and desire to jump and scream and show everyone who she is. I think about children and their free will spirits. I think about how they don't have a care in the world, accept when to eat, sleep and poop.
Children make the humble more humble. Babies make the impatient more patient. I commend parents and siblings for embracing babies and loving the little moments that define who one is when pressed up against not so charming situations.
When friends in Three Men and A Baby are left to take care of their roommate's child, we see the men go on a roller coaster of emotions from singing to the screaming cries, to changing diapers up to 10 times a day, to enjoying the peacefulness of each breath taken in.
I still love this film for its humor, yet, I owe true to the concept that babies are challenging, but, it is a pride driven equation when you see a child smile or laugh.
Bachelor or not, these guys did a great job. I will always think about them singing and of course them cleaning up the doo doo!
Goodnight Sweetheart it's time to go... sha na na na na.. Goodnight sweetheart...

Great Review!
Thanks for your comment. I wish my memory will keep reminding me of my precious little angel. She's my little sweetie pie. (Yes, don't ask me when she's a teenager ;-)
I'm impressed that you teased significance out of what was a cute but slight movie (a movie, not a film). Well done!
