Man Vs Baby
When a job looking after a high-tech mansion in Man vs. Bee ended in disaster, Trevor Bingley (Rowan Atkinson) left the stressful world of house-sitting for the quieter life of a school caretaker — until a lucrative offer to look after a luxury London penthouse over Christmas proves too tempting to resist. But on the last day of the term, when no one comes to collect the baby playing Jesus from the school’s Nativity scene, Trevor finds himself with another undersized and very unexpected companion. With a penthouse to protect and a baby to burp, will Trevor be able to have the calm Christmas he hopes for, or will the festivities descend into chaos?
