1.5*/5.0*

A classic blockbuster comedy. It's been ages since I last watched this film. I didn't like it much when I was younger, didn't like much this time around either. Between the cliché characters, the predictable plot and the mushy intermittent drama there's simply very little of worth here.

Three bachelors are living a good life, until someone drops a baby on their doorstep. They're not used to taking care of kids, let alone babies, but as much as they hate it at first, they start to grow attached to the little bugger. Add some nonsensical drug plot to fill the time and you should have a good idea of what to expect.

The lead performances are pretty dim, the comedy is overly sanitized, the punchline is lame and even though the runtime isn't excessive, the film does start to drag after a while. It's one of those films that is so unoffensive that it effectively becomes offensive. Not what I call fun and relaxing entertainment.
