What happens

Three Men and a Baby is a 1987 American comedy film directed by Leonard Nimoy. It stars Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg, and Ted Danson as three bachelors as they attempt to adapt their lives to de facto fatherhood with the arrival of the love child of one of the men. The film was based on a 1913 short story, "The Three Godfathers", by Peter B. Kyne, which was later adapted to the 1985 French film Three Men and a Cradle. The film was the biggest American box-office hit of 1987, surpassing Fatal Attraction and eventually grossing $167 million in the United States and Canada and $240 million worldwide. The film won the 1988 People's Choice Award for Favorite Comedy Motion Picture. A sequel, Three Men and a Little Lady (1990), also featured Selleck, Guttenberg and Danson. A remake was announced in 2020 for Disney+ with Zac Efron among the cast, though the film has yet to be made. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
