The title says it all – bachelors Ted Danson, Steve Guttenberg and Tom Selleck are left holding the baby abandoned on their doorstep, and it’s not long before they are knee-deep in bottles, nappies and gooey moments.
The three leads look suitably harassed as they adapt to changing, feeding and burping duties, and director Leonard Nimoy (Mr Spock himself) keeps the comedy and entertainment coming thick and fast.
Based on the French film 3 Men and a Cradle, it’s thoroughly enjoyable family fare.
