It's a sweet and funny movie that most of us have seen. Three hunky men find themselves knee deep in diapers and life changes when a beautiful baby girl is suddenly bestowed upon them by a harried mother. But is this light and poignant family movie actually an inadvertant ghost story? Is there a ghost lurking behind the curtains in one of the final scenes of the movie?
According to the cast and crew, no. Although the details vary a bit, depending on the source, the "ghostly figure" is apparently a cut-out of either Ted Danson or some other unidentified person and that it was left there, either by accident or as a practical joke. So that should be the end of the story, right?
Apparently not. There are still plenty of people who swear that the figure in the movie is really a ghost and that the tale of the cut-out is merely a cover story. If interested, you can check out some of their accounts here and here. As for me, since it has been forever since I've seen this movie and I like it very much, I'm going to buy a copy and check it out myself. The goodnight trio sung by Ted Danson, Tom Selleck, and Steve Guttenberg makes it a worthy addition to my DVD collection.
