The move is, however, controversial. Looking at the page history, the page has been moved before because the "official title" differs from the name on the poster. Also, IMDb lists it as "3 Men...", not "Three Men". --Stemonitis08:17, 30 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
Oops, thanks for looking into it. I have no strong opinion either way. If Jaldridge86 wants, I guess he can complete the RM request. --Cheers, Komdori09:58, 30 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
The name on posters, soundtrack CDs, and the film itself, is Three Men and a Little Lady. I can show images if you want. But a google search, using both titles will bring up images of the posters, CDs, etc. Hope that helps. (update) Just looked at the article, it has the poster image there, where it is plainy written out as, Three. I would not trust IMDB on this one. They can be wrong and actually ask for corrections, etc. PS: It is also improper form to begin a sentence, or title with a numerical number, the number should be written as a word. (with very few exceptions for titles) - JeenyTalk22:15, 30 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
Also, the first film, Three Men and a Baby, is also spelled out. Again, it is incorrect form not to. It should be changed. IMHO. - JeenyTalk22:36, 30 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
Oh I agree it's terrible form, but such would not be beyond Hollywood :P. It's very clear the poster uses "Three" written out, and the other materials are probably based on the poster. You mentioned the "film itself" uses "Three"--do you mean on the opening credits screen? I had kind of guessed that maybe the source of the numeral version was there (you know how they write things kind of in a strange way during those openings). Regardless, it seems more people are going to see this film sold or advertised by the "poster title," so barring evidence to the contrary, I would Support the move. --Cheers, Komdori12:42, 2 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
As far as Hollywood and naming films, etc. I agree. That's why I added "with very few exceptions for titles". But in this instance there is no creative reason for the incorrect form, unless the reason is. "lets use the incorrect form just for the hell of it, but use the correct form on posters, CDs and other material just to screw with people." lol. :P (I wouldn't put that past them either.) :P. And, yes, it's written out on the credits too. :) - JeenyTalk13:45, 2 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Then, I'd certainly support the move. It seems the numeral version might be nothing more than the figment of an Internet creation (lazy typist?), and certainly we don't want to model ourselves after imdb when there are many sources to the contrary (including the film itself). --Cheers, Komdori17:32, 2 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Support -- the poster certainly says "Three", and as above, my old English teacher would gnash his teeth and pound his fists if he saw the number three being written that way in such a context. Not sure what reference is being used to establish the "official title", but I hope it's not IMDb. --DeLarge15:01, 31 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

During a radio interview on 26th November 2008, Steve Guttenberg confirmed that a script is written for "Three Men and a Bride", which is planned to film in a couple of years with the original cast returning. Should this be included in a "future" section or something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.96.3.142 (talk) 12:32, 26 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
