The joys of fatherhood
29 December 2019
This is an absolute classic family comedy about three bachelor's Peter (Tom Selleck) Michael (Steve Gutenburg) and Jack (Ted Danson) who live together in a new york apartment there lives are filled with party's, women and work all the fun with none of the responsibilities until one day Peter comes home from his morning run to find a baby on the doorstep with a note explaining who the father is and why the baby girl named Mary has been left in his care in an instant there lives change from being carefree to becoming full time dads with no experience of how to take care of a baby they band together to take care of Mary as dad and Co dads but overtime all the things they hated the late nights the crying and diaper changes no dates or free time aren't work anymore and they can't imagine there lives without Mary there are many ups and downs along the way and a subplot involving gangsters and the police but altogether this movie is very heartwarming and really tugs at the heartstrings showing the joys of being a dedicated and loving father or father's rather.

Tom Selleck, Steve Gutenburg and Ted Danson are a great comedy trio together and use there charm and charisma to sing lullabys, charm the ladies and be great dads it's nice to see a movie where the dad's save the day and are the role models for being good parent's there's not a lot of movies that focus on fatherhood in a genuinely light hearted and fun way while also being serious and grounded.

The soundtrack is one of the best parts of the movie in my opinion it follows the journey of the characters carefree bachelor lifestyle to them becoming parents and co-parents with a perfect mix of light hearted songs that stick in your head even days later.

I recommend this movie to any parent or soon to be parent it perfectly captures the highs and lows of new parenthood and the changes that happen in your life but overall how being a parent is a wonderful and unique experience that can change your whole life and put all the little stresses in life into perspective when there's a whole person new to the world who's counting on you for everything and guide them along the way.
