Reader comments: Baby Geniuses
EMILY AKA: JACK | Mar. 20, 2007
This movie was soooooo cheesy and unrealistic. I can't
believe I bought it. I should have rented it before I
wasted my parents money that could have gone to better
movies. Now it's collecting dust, stuffed away in the back
of the shelf on our entertainment center.

This movie is total garbage. These babies aren't funny,
they're merely irritatating. If you want to watch a good,
funny movie, check out Clerks or Pulp Fiction.
Otherwise, if you have any taste whatsoever, skip Baby
Geniuses.

Baby Geniuses was a terrific movie. The babies were so
cute and hilarious. The technology lent a helping hand to
make the "conversations" realistic.
GOOD JOB TO THE CAST !!!!

Although the film has a rather silly premise, Baby Geniuses
is technically quite clever and moderately entertaining.
Unlike the increasingly tiresome Look Who's Talking series,
director Bob Clark (Porky's, etc) takes advantage of the
latest in computer generated animation technology to make
it seem as though the babies are actually talking. Much of
their dialogue and many of their jokes will probably go
right over the head of younger audiences though! Clark
directs the material with his usual lack of subtlety.
Turner and Christopher Lloyd enter into the spirit of
proceedings, and both overact hysterically, while MacNicol
and Cattrall bring more restraint to their performances.
The Fitzgerald triplets play twins Sly and Whit, while
child star Miko Hughes (Mercury Rising, etc) provides their
voices.
Most of the winning charm of this decidedly low brow film
derives from the antics of the two-year olds with attitude.
The tykes effortlessly combine brawn and brain, and they
also perform complex martial arts and dance floor moves
with remarkable ease. Touches of Home Alone-like slapstick
humour and low level violence and some neat sight gags will
entertain the youngsters, while the sly movie parodies and
one-liners will please older audiences.

Baby Geniuses started out in a pretty good way with humor
and plot. But as the movie progresses things slow down the
humor slowly diminishes and you're left with corny comedy
that only an old man can admire from his "3 stooges" days.
Baby Geniuses was a flop!
