The movie carries on with the story of the three men - Jack, Michael and Peter. They are living with Mary who is now five, and her mother Sylvia. They continue their fun with the girl, acting as a source of teaching, tickling (including blowing on her stomach), and parenting. The group is split up when Sylvia announces that she is getting married to an Englishman and moves to England. Peter and Michael (joined later by Jack) travel over the England for the wedding where Peter realises that Sylvia's fiance, Edward, intends to package Mary off to a boarding school (Pileforth Academy) as he has no real interest in her. Edward denies everything and Sylvia refuses to believe Peter as she knows he has disliked Edward from the beginning.

During this time the attraction between Peter and Sylvia is growing, something he refuses to acknowledge to her and she is determined to get married and forge a new life for herself and Mary with Edward. Peter eventually breaks into Pileforth in an attempt to get some proof of Edwards scheme to send Mary there. He is discovered by the headteacher, Miss Elspeth Lomax, who mistakenly believes that he is in love with her. Eventually Peter comes clean and he and Miss Lomax head off to stop the wedding, in the mean time in an attempt to cause a delay, Michael has kidnapped the vicar!

Peter and Miss Lomax arrive at the church after numerous delays and he confronts Sylvia with the truth, Miss Lomax herself confirming that Edward has been lying. Sylvia confronts Edward and he admits the truth but it is too late - they are already married. Or so it would seem.... until Jack is revealed to have diguised himself as the vicar. Not only has Jack finally proved his acting skills and fooled his friends, but the marriage is null and void. Sylvia declares her intention to go home and makes to leave until Peter stops her and declares his love, the two marry with Mary as their bridesmaid.

Filmed on location in New York and England. The scenes in England were primarily shot in Banbury, Oxfordshire however the school which was attended by Mary is the Jesuit boarding school Stonyhurst College in the Ribble Valley, Lancashire.

One of the most widely recognised tracks from the movie is Waiting for a Star to Fall by Boy Meets Girl, which featured during the final wedding scene and end credits.

The film is referenced in the Irvine Welsh story Snuff, from the book The Acid House, where the protagonist considers it the worst film ever made.[citation needed] The main character kills himself after watching the film.
