Christian Larouche Pierre Lamothe Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge Paul Doucet The 3 L'il Pigs () is a 2007 Canadian French-language comedy film. The directorial debut of comedian and actor Patrick Huard, it was the top-grossing Canadian film of 2007, winning both the Golden Reel Award at the 28th Genie Awards and the Billet d'or at the Jutra Awards.

Plot

Two brothers (Legault, Lemay-Thivierge) discuss the positive and negative aspects of adultery as their mother lies beside them in a coma, while their brother Rémi (Doucet) attempts to discourage them. Their conversations become more explicit as time passes.

A scene in the film reveals that Rémi is bisexual and in the closet, a storyline which is explored in more depth in the sequel.
