Four friends on a bachelor trip wake up after a night of drinking to find one of them missing, one of them married and a baby in the stowed away in the closet.

Review:

The flashy lights in the background is wholly unnecessary and utterly idiotic. It doesn't make a lick of sense when compared to the film's premise. Then again, perhaps they are attempting to distract from the idiocy of the plot. Then again, the three main characters on the poster certainly keep that concept in the forefront of the mind.

• Trailer: C-

Review:

It's fairly obvious the film is trying to be a broad comedy in the vein of Three Men and a Baby, but there's little to support it actually being a funny movie as there are no truly funny scenes in the trailer. What's more unusual is that the studio has already commissioned a sequel without truly testing the film in the marketplace.

Oscar Prospects:

The original French film Three Men and a Baby got an Oscar nomination, the '80s American remake didn't even come close. This film isn't even in the ballpark.

Release Date:
