The classic movie, originally based on a 1985 French film, had an all-star cast consisting of "Magnum, P.I." star Tom Selleck, "Cheers" star Ted Danson and "Police Academy" star Steve Guttenberg. The three characters had to hilariously adapt their bachelor lifestyles to care for a baby who appears on their doorstep.
