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.
In 2010, Huard directed File 13 (Filière 13), which reunited the same three core cast members in different roles.[4]
A true sequel, The 3 L'il Pigs 2 (Les 3 p'tits cochons 2), was released in 2016, from the same writers but directed by Jean-François Pouliot.[5] While Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge, Paul Doucet, Sophie Prégent and Isabel Richer all reprised their roles, Claude Legault did not, so Mathieu was instead played by Patrice Robitaille.
A French remake entitled The Big Bad Wolf (Le Grand Méchant Loup) was released in 2013.[6] The film was written and directed by filmmaking duo Nicolas & Bruno and stars Benoît Poelvoorde, Kad Merad, Fred Testot, Valérie Donzelli, Charlotte Le Bon, Zabou Breitman, Cristiana Reali, Léa Drucker and Linh Dan Pham among others.
