3 Men and a Little Lady (1990)

Fantastic!

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

This is a feel good movie and gives us some closure from the first film. This is a great movie with three great actors.

Three Men And A Little Lady picks up where its predecessor Three Men And A Baby left off with bachelors Tom Selleck, Ted Danson, and Steve Guttenberg all setting up house with Nancy Travis and their daughter Robin Weisman who's now about seven. Travis back in her swinging youth was involved with all these guys and all stepped up to the plate. They've created a most unusual household.But Travis hasn't heard marriage from any of them and indeed why would she in this situation. So she's accepting the proposal of director Christopher Cazenove and is ready to move across the pond and do her acting career in the United Kingdom. That doesn't sit well with any of the guys, particularly the one that Travis was really waiting for a proposal from. Time to bust this situation up since Cazenove hasn't been truthful about a few things especially where the little lady is concerned.This film more than any other gives credence to Hillary Clinton's quoted African maxim that it takes a village to raise a child. Any more in that household you'd have a small village. If you liked the first film and the characters created you'll like this one.The man hungry Fiona Shaw, headmistress of a most strict boarding school in England has the best supporting performance. What she does to Tom Selleck almost makes it to rape.Three Men And A Little Lady should be pleasant viewing fare for fans of the three stars and Nancy Travis.

I really liked Three Men and a Baby and I really liked this film. To be honest, while there are those who will think it is better and those it is inferior, I actually put these two films equally. It could have been a tad shorter though, and there are one or two predictable parts, then again the first one did too. What I did like about Three Men and a Little Lady was its cuteness and charm. This is not the best movie I have ever seen, but it never tried to be, neither did it attempt to be better than the first. It was just an enjoyable movie, with one or two minor problems along the way. The scenery and cinematography was actually pretty lovely, and I liked the soundtrack too. The script was decent, the pacing was snappy, the story while predictable was entertaining and there were some funny sight gags and situations. The direction was neat, and the acting was fine. Robin Weisman is quite appealing as Mary, and Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg and Ted Danson were great together and individually. Also seeing Shiela Hancock is always a plus. Overall, cute and entertaining. 8/10 Bethany Cox

This expected sequel is a change in comic direction from the first film, although its not enough to bring "Little Lady" up to the standard of '87's big hit.Baby 'Mary' has grown up now, and at five years old she's about to start school. However the story revolves this time around her mom, who is looking for the ideal husband and father to marry. 'Peter' (Tom Selleck) hopes it will be him, but he can't bring himself to tell her so.The new format, romantic comedy, brings fewer laughs and fast becomes quite predictable. None of the lead players do much, and if not for Fiona Shaw, who delivers some hilarious scenes as headmistress Elspeth Lomax, "Three Men and a Little Lady" would not have been much at all.Sunday, February 21, 1993 - T.V.
