    Good

    I thought this was cute and not bad at all. Filled with charm, innocence, drama and romance. I thought it was a nice mix. From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them. It is an emotionally uplifting movie that will raise your morale. Unfairly dismissed by some as confusing, this kind of sentimental character piece needs a tight focus so all of the nuances of the characters shine through. Oh, and the colors are amazing and seem to follow the mood of the story.

    not as fun with an added romance

    Mary is now 5. She and her mother Sylvia Bennington (Nancy Travis) have ingrained themselves into the lives of Peter Mitchell (Tom Selleck), Michael Kellam (Steve Guttenberg), and Jack Holden (Ted Danson). The five of them have become an unique family. Baby daddy Jack continues to be irresponsible while Peter is falling for Sylvia. Then she announces that she's marrying Edward Hargreave and moving to England.

    The comedy is not that funny. It feels especially sitcomy. It isn't fresh anymore. There is a compelling romance rising out of the ashes. The guys remain likable. Sylvia has a central role this time around along with little girl Mary. It's a secondary sequel and not quite that good.

    England is NOT like this

    Possibly the worst ever portrayl of "Merrie England" by Hollywood. What do those guys think we do here in the UK all day, bumble about in wooden cars around country lanes?

    This film is just utter tripe and a serious insult to the English. If you've never been to the UK it is NOTHING like this film shows it. OK, so film makers have a certain amount of artistic license, but this is really too bad altogether. It would be the same as showing the US populated wholly by overweight burger chomping rednecks. But it isn't, is it.

    Watch something else and do yourself a favour.

    Great follow up to Great original...

    I don't honestly understand why this film was panned so severely! It may not be a masterpiece as such but it certainly was worth the time of day.

    And for the people that are getting so serious about the England v. America thing: I'm English too and happen to find the stereotypes displayed in this film hilarious. It isn't meant as a direct offence, but merely light hearted fun.

    Also the "3 men" are fantastic again in their roles. Nancy Travis does a great job and has more chance in this film to show what she's got! Christopher Cazenove does a great job of being completely unlikeable and Fiona Shaw is AMAZING!

    A great film and to anyone who hasen't watched it already - please do! You won't regret it.

    Classic Family Film

    Why does this film have such a low rating?. OK i know most sequels never live up to the original but this film was different it was much better than 3 men and a little baby. Better storyline that kept you interested mainly the fact that half of the film is set in South England which gave the film a different angle and made it more interesting. Now on to the actors definitely Ted Danson was the best actor as Jack Holden closely followed by Tom Selleck as Peter Mitchell. I have seen this film since i was 3 years old when it first came out and it remains as a classic comedy alongside Uncle Buck, Planes, Trains and Automobiles etc its classed alongside those kind of films i think and overall it gets a 7/10

    • Trivia

      At the wedding cocktail party, Peter Mitchell removes a large wad of caviar from Miss Lomax's nose and noticeably deposits the wad on her canapé dish. The large wad of food on her plate alternately appears and disappears as they talk.
    • Quotes

      Peter Mitchell: [Mary is upset about leaving New York for England] Close your eyes. Can you see us?

      Mary: [she has her eyes closed] No.

      Peter Mitchell: Well, you're not looking hard enough. Look harder. Way in the back. Can you see us now?

      Mary: Yeah.

      Peter Mitchell: Ok what are we doing?

      Mary: Michael's drawing, Jack's looking in the mirror, and you're watching basketball on TV yelling at Jack for not cleaning up the kitchen!

      Peter Mitchell: Well, that sounds about right to me!
