Movie Review: ****Three Men and a Baby (1987)

 This movie is a brilliant in which three bachelors are put to the task, over night of fathering a baby.  Tom Selleck plays the architect, Peter Mitchell, Ted Danson the actor, Jack Holden and Steve Guttenberg the cartoonist, Michael Kellam.  The baby was left on the door of their high rise condo.  At the same time, Mitchell's sponsor in commercial informed him a package would arrive at his house the next day.  There is confusion between the baby and the package, which happens to be heroine.  When the drug runners come to pick it up the give them the baby with a can of formula.  When they find the package of drugs they realize their mistake and run to rescue the baby, which leads to police intervention.  They are then suspected of being drug runners.

They are able to trick the drug runners, and inform the police all at the same time.  The use a high-rise Mitchell has helped design and supervise the construction and trap the criminals in the elevator with the power off.  They get to the point where they are enjoying parenting; but then the baby's mother shows up and wants her back.  This film has a novel solution.  This movie is fun and won an award for comedy. Tom Selleck portrays a different type of character.  It is directed by Leonard Nimoy.
