I recently watched two movies with Tom Selleck, Three Men and a Baby and Meet the Robinsons, in which he did a voice over for that movie. They were both very funny, charming movies in different formats.
In Three Men and a Baby, Selleck plays Peter Mitchell, an architect happy to live the bachelor lifestyle with his two roommates Michael (Steve Guttenberg) and Jack (Ted Danson). Peter's world, as well as the worlds of Michael and Jack, gets turned upside down when Jack's baby is left outside the door, the mother no where to be found and Jack out of the country for an acting job. However when Jack had agreed to accept a package for his director, little did he know he was agreeing to accept a package of cocaine. So needless to say, confusion ensues, with the cops and the drug dealers watching for that all important package. Nancy Travis and Philip Bosco also star in this comedy.
In Meet the Robinsons, Lewis (Daniel Hansen and Jordan Fry) is a boy waiting to be adopted, but inadvertantly turns off potential adoptive parents with his crazy scientific inventions. He meets Wilbur (Wesley Singerman) at a scientific fair that whisks him away to the future in a time machine in order to stop Bowler Hat Guy (Stephen J Anderson) from wrecking havoc on Lewis's in the present time. Tom Selleck has a small, but important role as Cornelius in Lewis' future. (There was a visual pun of Tom Selleck that the adults might find amusing, but will probably go over the kids' heads). I was pleasantly surprised by how much fun this was visually, even if the plot points at timed seemed to not make sense.
This is a toss up for me. I really liked Three Men and a Baby, but because of the nature of drugs in the movie, probably wouldn't recommend young kids to see it. Meet the Robinsons, is more of a fun family movie appropriate for all ages.
