    A return to comic form with Jackie, as he and his three partners, played by veteran Michael Hui and the young and charismatic Louis Koo take on the biggest challenge in their criminal career... babysitting.

    When the last job turns into a kidnapping, Jackie and Louis are focred t...( read more)o become the surrogate parents of the baby.... to which they develop a strong affection for him and forced to protect him from the Triad gang intent on recovering the child for a sinister purpose.


    Some good action scenes, especially involving the baby... its good to see Jackie hasn't slowed down that much with age!! The comedy is a cross slap stick and stand up between the cast and they pull it off so well.


    An interesting turn for Jackie... especially since his last movie before this was New Police Story... watch it for the cutey baby which steals the show and everyone's hearts.

    A return to form for Jackie, more in the spirit of some of his 80s HK stuff. The film is thankfully not as corny or cheesy with the whole baby thing. Some very good action sequences also. So, don't expect Jackie to make another Drunken Master 2, or another Police Story, but this ...( read more)is way better than most of the junk he has made recently, both in HK and america.

    "This September! Crawl Baby crawl!"

    For ne'er-do-well compulsive gambler Slipper (Jackie Chan), there's only one thing more fearsome than debtors at his doorstep - having to coax a crying baby. But what if the baby becomes his golden goose to fend off his debtors? Can he ...( read more)overcome his phobia of diapers, milk bottles, and cloying lullabies?
    Brought up in an impoverished family and kicked out of school in his teens, Slipper found himself on the wrong side of the tracks despite being nimble-footed and neat-fingered. Spurned by his family and hounded by debtors, he is goaded by his greedy landlord (Michael Hui) to collaborate in harebrained heists. Together with the agile and opportunistic Octopus (Louis Koo), the trio kidnaps BB, the grandson of a tycoon. However, due to some unexpected glitches, they fail to hand him over to the triad as planned.
    With the assistance of an angelic nurse Melody (Gao Yuanyuan), the landlord's baby-crazy wife (Teresa Carpio) and Octopus' teenage fan Pak Yin (Charlene Choi), the macho men discover the joys of Rob-B-Hood. When they realize that the triad is after both the ransom and BB's life, they decide to make their hostage their protégée. Cornered by cops and threatened by ferocious gangsters, this trio of incorrigible merry men embarks on a hair-raisingly dangerous and deliriously funny escapade to put BB safely back in his cradle.

    All I can say is, this is definitely a Jackie Chan movie and fans will definitely not be disappointed at all. Even with his advancing age and toning down of action scenes, Jackie still has it in him and never fails to entertain. For those fans wondering about action scenes, sure Jackie isn't what he used to be back in the heyday of 80's Hong Kong cinema, but his top notch action choreography is still inventive and fun to watch, and there are many fun set pieces. The comedy is also very well done and there are many endearing scenes with the real star of the show, baby Matthew Medvedev, who will melt any viewer's heart. Jackie and his co-stars' characters are very sympathetic and the acting for the most part is spot on. Benny Chan does an excellent job directing his stars and shows that he is not only able to direct a serious action crime drama like Chan's previous New Police Story but is also adept at the family action comedy as well. There are many cameos from well known HK stars, so be sure to watch out for them. Chan fans will appreciate a special extended cameo. Overall an enjoyable quality Chan family movie.

    Jackie Chan does "Three Men and a Baby". Another silly comedy.

    A Excellent Jackie Chan Movie, I rented it from Blockbuster under the name of Robin B Hood. Copy I had had english audio, but like other films from Japan, Korea, China, the English Dubbed in voices are stupid and don't even match subtitles, So it was better for me to listen to it...( read more) in Native Language and read subtitles, been doing that for years in Greece. The action is great as always jackie is the best out there for stunts. If you like babies then this little guy here steals the camera. Its enjoyable.

    It had a nice and solid script. I liked the baby in this, i thought his performance was good ( considering he's a baby ). Jackie Chan's performance was terrible, but his action scenes were well edited and fun to watch.

    Star-studded enjoyable Jackie Chan movie with an excellent combination of action and comedy, and adorable baby! This have been touched upon in movies like Three Men and a Baby, or even Raising Arizona. TWO THUMBS UP!
