3 Men and a Cradle (1985)
Director: Coline Serreau
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
In this comedy, three Parisian swingers find their bachelor pad invaded by the fruit of a night of forgotten passion. Horizons narrow to three-hourly feeds and nappy changes, during which the gesticulation rate rises into the paint cards. The father (Dussollier) gets off light, being on vacation in the Orient, but the other two not only learn to cope with parenthood, but also have to contend with a subplot dealing with drugs, drug-dealers and the police, in which the nappy features as a stash. When the mother reclaims the baby, the trio discover that their old ways no longer appeal, and begin to question the meaning of life itself. Only itchy-koo will do. Noisy, and not short of unison waddling walks.Author: BC
