Carefree bachelors Peter, Michael and Jack are living it up in New York City when they get a major surprise.

This movie, a remake of the French film Three Men and a Cradle, was directed by the one and only Leonard Nimoy. It was the biggest American box office smash of the year, earning $167,000,000.
