Lack of good storyline.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
After the massive worldwide success of Three Men and a Baby in 1984, a sequel was launched 7 years later with Ted Danson, Tom Selleck and Steve Guttenberg all reprising their roles as Jack, Peter and Michael and a slightly grown up Mary tagging along for the ride.In this sequel, Mary's biological English mother, Sylvia- played by American actress Nancy Travis decide to move to 'merry old England' and start a new life. Her London/English accent sounded a bit bizarre ; when I first saw this film, I'd thought she was English. However, I think it would have made much more sense if the casting directors had opted to hire an 'English' born actress for the role of Silvia instead.On the way, Sylvia's charm and beauty attracts the attention of fellow Englishman, Christopher Casonove (Note: I use the term English as opposed to British here, in an attempt to dispel any confusion and to say that 'Britain' is made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). Later on, Peter suddenly develops feelings for Sylvia and when he finds out she is going to marry her English boyfriend, he, alongside Jack and Michael fly to England to stop Sylvia from proposing to him.The film is set within the English countryside backdrop (according to this site, it says it was filmed in Oxfordshire), and so rather you only get a glimpse of one part of English culture and not the rest, which is unfortunate. Many American and overseas films and TV shows in their portrayal of British/English culture and the people, have a habit in depicting British people as either upper- class snobs speaking with posh accents or the Queen's English for instance, or with Dick-Van Dyke, 'Oliver' Cockney London accents.I think this is partly because people outside the UK view the nation as being nothing more than London itself- which is a problem and many of them are unaware of the different accents and regions that exist in and around the UK, such as Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Cardiff etc. Also people confuse England with Britain, which coincidently, is not the same thing. The lack of Media representation of these cities and its people to the wider world in both TV and film needs to addressed, if we are to get beyond the 'geezer' and 'maa'm' stereotypes.Apart from the much stereotypical portrayal of us Brits, Three Men and a Little Lady, is in itself, a lacklustre sequel to what was, in my view, a very good movie, first time round. It is very sickly sweet in most places, some of the jokes are quite flat as well and it is a bit too 'hammy' for my liking. For a so-called light- hearted movie, there are less laughs to be found and the plot and narrative is all-too predictable that you'd be able to figure out what is going to happen in the end.The soundtrack is great though; Boy Meets Girl's worldwide smash- hit of 89','Waiting for a Star to fall' is still one of the most infectious-yet equally memorable movie songs of all-time.Overall, Three Men and a Little Lady is a disappointment; well I didn't really like it that much, but if you liked the first movie so much, then give this one a spin. Otherwise, there are better family films on the market, which whilst a lot of them aren't as similar to 'Three Men and a Little Lady'- plot-wise, they offer a lot more for your money, in contrast.
OK IMDb probably won't let you see this review but, it is bulls**t this movie has such a low score. OK so it's not an Oscar winner nor would it ever be but for every single person who loves this sort of film, it is everything we needed and my hats off to Ted Danson because he should of been nominated just for his role as the vicar.Listen shot but sweet critics most of there time do not know what they are on about that is why this website is for the real film fan.This film is excellent, the cast are excellent please view it and give it the mark it deserves.9/10 from me.Also isn't it about time we had three men and a lady, come on like the godfather or the rocky series this film would complete the series and we would have seen mary go from baby to child to fully grown lady, lets campaign to get this film made.
The original was brilliant and I am delighted that they made a sequel. OK, Mary is now six years old and Sylvia is acting on New York Stage with Edward being her director. When he proposes to her and she accepts once again she is confronted with the same dilemma she had 5 years ago, to move with Mary to London marry Edward or stay in New York with Marys' family Jack, Peter and Micheal. She goes and the bachelors follow for the wedding but when one of them realises that he is in love with Sylvia he rushes to get some dirt on Edward to stop her from Edward. In a race against time will he get to the church to stop the wedding or will he have lost his chance once and for all?
I would refer this movie as a family movie, because in this movie, it is more romantic and more easy going. However 3 Man and a Little Lady couldn't be as funny compare to 3 man and a little baby. For the characters inside, I would especially recall that the little lady, Mary. She is a very very sophisticated young actress. She plays the roll in a very naturally without what we usually see from other young actors/actresses. For the adults, the three special man did great job too! Especially when it came to the part where they were putting Mary into sleep. Slyvia, act very well too. In overall, this movie is worth watching, especially for family humors.
