Reader comments: Baby Geniuses

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!
