There are cynics out there who believe this film borrows without shame from Three Men and a Baby. Nonsense. This movie has three men and three babies. The men are Lonnie (Eddie Griffin), G (Anthony Anderson) and Dominic (Michael Imperioli) — bachelor buddies from Philly who learn that their girlfriends are pregnant at the same time. Director Cheryl Dunye jacks up the suspense by making us wonder what kind of jokes are coming: Will the women scream in labor? Will one baby pee in his daddy's eye? Will another baby open his mouth and talk like the kid with the voice of Bruce Willis in Look Who's Talking? Yes to all of them; no to the movie. Griffin and Anderson can do this stuff in their sleep, and maybe they are. If this is the direction Imperioli is going in after The Sopranos ends, let's pray the HBO series sticks forever. Diapers, even from three babies, can't stink worse than this.

    “More Than a Feeling”

    Boston | 1976

    Boston mastermind Tom Scholz was as surprised by anyone when he sent his unsolicited demo to record labels and got back a positive response. Scholz said, “I couldn’t believe it. Nobody knew who we were, so I wouldn’t even say we were struggling. It was groveling.” Part of the credit for the interest must go to the anthemic rock number "More Than a Feeling." Inspired by the Left Banke's 1966 hit "Walk Away Renee," Scholz worked on the song for five years in his basement studio before it was released on this album.
