Classic Sequel

As you may have guessed, "Three Men and a Little Lady" is the followup to 1987's "Three Men and a Baby." Although the sequel was made only 3 years after the original, and therefore Mary should only be 4 years old, time was sped up just a bit, and we see that Mary is now a precocious 5 year-old, living in a new house with Peter, Jack, Michael, and her mother, Sylvia. The four have new challenges to face in raising their little lady, and as Mary begins school and starts to make friends, it becomes apparent that her unorthodox family situation is raising eyebrows among teachers and other parents. Sylvia soon realizes that Mary needs a more stable family life, and starts dating a pompous British director, who promptly proposes and moves Sylvia and Mary to London. As they did in the end of the first film, the guys realize that life without their little lady is unbearable, and they race off to England to do whatever they can to get her back!
If you can look past the obvious continuity problem, you can see that this isn't a bad movie, its relatively decent sequel, and it has many of the same charm that the original had.
