Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Smoreni Zmaj Sequels usually just try to milk more money on old fame, not trying too much about quality. Sometimes it happens that sequel is on a level with original, but to be better is really rare. This is one of those exceptions. Although it is far from being masterpiece, it is far better than 3 Men and a Baby. Humor is this time actually funny and emotional scenes good enough to cause tear or two. Nancy Travis has very little screen time in first movie, but here she got a chance to show off. Instead of baby from first movie who was just cute, now we have Robin Weisman who's cute too, but also great in playing well written role. Story is more complex, intelligent and strong, and movie is overall much faster and more entertaining. This one is going to my collection.7/10
studioAT While not ever likely to be one of those rare sequels that's better than the original this film is likable enough fun, with the three male leads from the first one all returning for more comedic fare, only this time the baby's a bit older, and they're in jolly old England.It has it's moments, but in my opinion lacks a bit of the charm that made the original such a joy.I would be interested to see a third in the series if it ever got made.
Robert W. If there is anything we know its that perfect 80's comedies deserve at least one sequel. 3 Men and a Little Lady is the perfect epilogue to the original film. We get to see where everyone from the first film is and how their life ends up and it was well written and worthy. It didn't feel just like a cash in which it probably was. The first film was more of a comedy than this sequel. Certainly there are still some funny moments but this one has much more drama and romance than the first and that's okay. It works very well and we needed more character development from the three Dad's and from Sylvia who gets a full character in this one. I felt like with the first movie it was just full of 80's clichés and popular culture and I couldn't help but notice that this movie didn't have that vibe. Granted the movie was made in 1990 which is outside of the 80's window but somehow I didn't feel like it had quite the style the first one had. I suppose, they made the movie under the pretense that everyone already knew the characters and they didn't need to rehash who they were and what they did for a living and that is probably a wise choice on their part.Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg, and Ted Danson are back and in full swing in their old roles. The three of them still have great chemistry and are a little older, a little wiser and a little more mature this time around. Their personalities aren't quite as vibrant as the first film but they are who they were the first time around and that is a compliment. They don't outdo each other and they are great together. Nancy Travis returns as Sylvia but as a main character. I can't figure out why they chose to make her "English." Travis' accent is okay at best and its distracting. There is really no reason to make her British other than her return to England which they could have done easily in another way. Still she is good and has good chemistry with everyone. Robin Weisman, who never did much of anything else, is downright terrific as Mary. She's appropriately adorable and does a great job. Christopher Cazenove is our pseudo-villain looking to break up the beloved foursome. Cazenove is the perfect 80's comedy villain and he carries out his role very well.Taking over from Leonard Nimoy at the directing duties is the amazing Emile Ardolino. I say amazing in particular because of his duties directing the classic (one of my favourites) Dirty Dancing but also classic comedy Sister Act. He tells a great story and you can tell he wanted this to be much more than just a run of the mill sequel. It is fun and worthy and lives up the popularity of the first one. The two movies together make up a classic little series that must be seen. I for one would be thrilled to see them do a third part even more than twenty years later as long as they put as much work into it as they did the first two films. 7.5/10
MARVMOOCOW This is one of the rare instances when the sequel stands up or is better than the first film,most sequels are rehashed or pale in comparison to the original,this one will not disappoint!This film and the original are two of my favourites and I think perhaps its time for a third entry in the series I'd love to see Guttenberg,Danson and Sellick back to see how the characters lives have progressed.It'd be great if done properly and let's face it the stars careers could probably do with a boost.The storyline is pretty good and the humour is very good,I don't want to give too much away,so I won't just get the movie and the original and watch them both,make a night of it.
