The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam Lacey
The movie is sentimental and reliant on bodily-function humour, but it also has a generous spirit, a multicultural rainbow of characters, and a social message about approaching fatherhood responsibly. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyScott Brown
A fairly harmless fertility rite with a skewed if not downright ugly view of women. Read full review

VarietyDennis Harvey
Isn't an embarrassment. Rather, it's an acceptably executed, thoroughly routine time-killer. Read full review

Village VoiceDavid Ng
Homies can make good hubbies, goes the moral of this January dump job, a tired send-up of hip-hop-isms that also aspires to be a Waiting to Exhale for men. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJack Mathews
There's no story to speak of - three cohabiting bachelors are dragged into adulthood by the simultaneous pregnancies of their girlfriends - but Anderson, Imperioli and Eddie Griffin are amiable company and there's an earned laugh here and there. Read full review

The New York TimesDana Stevens
Having established its premise and set in motion an overloaded plot, the picture lurches this way and that, evoking more restlessness than laughter and more boredom than pathos. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonagh
As to the dream sequence featuring Lonnie's and Brandy's trash-talking babies, it's just creepy. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKevin Thomas
A tedious comedy... It's not the worst premise for humor dashed with a little wisdom, but the script, written by the film's star Eddie Griffin and others, is less than inspired and tends to blur the line between immaturity and just plain stupidity. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyChuck Wilson
Strictly Urban Comedy 101, as if the filmmakers had neither the inclination nor the chops to move the genre past timeworn stereotypes. Read full review

Rolling StonePeter Travers
Diapers, even from three babies, can't stink worse than this. Read full review

New York PostMegan Lehmann
The finished product looks like it was thrown together during a lunch break -- by a drunk person. The level of ineptitude on display in this urban version of "Three Men and a Baby" is simply gobsmacking. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleCarla Meyer
probably less painful than actual childbirth, but it's still a very long 86 minutes. Read full review

Dallas ObserverLuke Y. Thompson
Every bit as pathetic and unfunny as it looks. Read full review

Austin ChronicleKimberley Jones
Though the three leads are all likable performers, their lunkheaded characters are as thinly drawn as their cartoon counterparts, and the supporting cast is littered with one racial stereotype after another. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNathan Rabin
Reflects poorly on everyone, particularly its makers, its stars, and the studio laboring under the delusion that this stuff was worthy of release. Read full review
