Storyline: For various reasons, all three of the adult Brenner brothers currently live with their single mother Barbara in the family home. Stephan lives in the granny suite in her back yard as a place to hide out. He's an animal therapist and believes that animals are more reliable than people; he is anxious around humans, especially in crowds. Taylor, a video game engineer, lives in the basement as the irresponsible, disruptive one who always manages to sabotage good things in his life. And firefighter Luke, who lives in the main part of the house, is only there temporarily while he builds his own house; so far "temporarily" has lasted 10 months, as he is easily distracted and works on projects for other people. Barbara's goal is for them and their Aunt Louise to spend Christmas together, despite the brothers having pulled away from each other ever since their father abandoned them when they were children; they don't usually help her decorate the house. Five days before Christmas, someone leaves a baby named Thomas at the firehouse specifically for Luke, probably the mother: the note pinned to Thomas only implores Luke to look after Thomas until Christmas, when she promises to come back for him. Luke, certain that Thomas is not his son, doesn't know who the mother could be or why she chose him as Thomas' temporary caregiver. He decides to look after Thomas with Barbara's help until Christmas, and if the mother doesn't return by then, he will take Thomas to Family Services. As Barbara is called away shortly thereafter on an emergency, the three brothers need to care for Thomas on their own, something they are ill-equipped to do. But with Thomas in their lives, they are forced to examine their inter-relationships, including the underlying issues of why they have never really appreciated self-sacrificing Barbara.

Featured review 10/10

Fun Hallmark All-Star movie with clever writing & the best 3 brothers dance routine ever filmed
I just watched this a second time and I laughed out loud all over again. This is a very funny movie. These guys really work well with each other .

This was a highly anticipated all-star movie for pretty much all of us devoted Hallmark movie fans. With 3.6 million viewers on its first night, this was the most watched TV movie on cable in 2022. But that just measures how many people wanted to see it. They were not disappointed. It was great. The three wise men (Paul Campbell, Andrew Walker and Tyler Hynes) represent three of Hallmark's most likable and popular male movie stars, but there was so much more to like. Margaret Colin, who starred in the original Three Men and a Baby, was great as always. As was Ali Liebert, who has starred in AND directed other Hallmark movies. I also liked Fiona Vroom as Susie even better during the second viewing. There's a sadness below that bubbly personality that actually moved me.

Paul Campbell, who wrote this with fellow Hallmark all-star Kimberley Sustad, is also becoming one of Hallmark's best writers. And they have a real feel for comedy. But it has also been revealed that, presumably because of the great camaraderie, there was a lot of ad-libbing. Whatever the formula, it worked. There are a lot of great lines, and a few "wink winks" to those familiar with the writers. At one point, Campbell's character Stephan says:

"Well, this is an unexpected Christmas".

"Unexpected Christmas" was a great Hallmark movie from last year that Paul Campbell also wrote and which, coincidentally, also starred Tyler Hynes as a somewhat unlikeable character. People often joke about incel adult gamers living in their mom's basement, and yet this movie bravely features such a character. The one other depiction of that kind of person which comes to mind is Kevin Smith in Live Free or Die Hard. It's a testament to the charisma of Tyler Hynes that he can humanize unlikeable flawed characters.

And Campbell's anxiety ridden character had plenty of problems too (effectively depicted by the actor). Walker's Nate was the most well adjusted, but he also carried the lifelong effects of being abandoned by a deadbeat dad. I'll never understand how a father can do that. Although this is a mostly fun and upbeat movie, there is an undercurrent of sadness that these 3 brothers and their mother were left to fend for themselves. And that results in some touching scenes amidst all the laughs.

There are 2 classic moments that fans will talk about as being their favorites: the elves and Santa photo op and the 3 brothers' artistic dance routine. Both were truly wonderful.

There's also an uncredited cameo by a big Hallmark star who also has a "wink wink" line that only a true Hallmark fan will catch.

And the rest of the movie was filled with other fun lines:

"The noblest of firs, fir sure"

"Nice truck, did it come with an unearned sense of self-confidence?"

I could go on, but this was such a fun movie to watch. I hope they do a sequel. Perhaps they can do a better job of detailing the baby's mother's dire straits and desperation in Part 2.
