(aka 'Three Men and a Cradle' or 'Trois hommes et un couffin')
directed by
Coline Serreau
France 1985
Spirited role-reversal comedy in which three bachelor boys (Giraud, Boujenah, Dussollier) are left in charge of a baby by a former girlfriend (Beaulieu), with amusing - if entirely predictable - results. Much superior to the ironed-out American version, if only for foreign audiences who might find it funnier to see a trio of stereotypical womanizing Frenchmen attending to the needs of a mewling baby (especially as there was something irremediably queeny about Selleck, Gutenberg and Danson). The director, Serreau, was wise to turn down Touchstone's invitation to oversee the English-language remake. Although it's no masterpiece, this original doesn't resort to crude sentimental blackmail to achieve.

I expect that
this film looks as good as the theatrical presentation. Perhaps a shade
dull but no artificial digital manipulations could be detected.
Progressive and anamorphic, the image looks fine although I question the
ratio (supposed to be 1.66:1?) and it could very well be slightly
cropped. Subtitles are excellent.
Extras are quite unique
with the video lullaby filler, but the Serreau interview is top notch,
if short. This is a
great family film for those in the circumstance of baby rearing times
and certainly miles ahead of the Hollywood pandering remake.
