Movie Reviews of Baby Geniuses
Movie Review: This movie rates with teh worst MST3K films
Summary: 2 Stars
This is horrible trash. Baby Geniuses has got to be among the worst films I have ever seen. The "slapstick" comedy is unrealistic and just plain unfunny. The plot is unbelieveable and underdeveloped. It makes you think about whatever the parents who let their childern star in this movie are on. All in all, if MST3K was still on, this movie would be on its hit list in teh next few years.Movie Review: Baby Geniuses cost me some brain cells
Summary: 2 Stars
I can't believe that this movie had such a great cast, what were they all thinking when they decided to appear in this unintelligent, stupid film. Nothing about this film was good. I don't even think little kids would enjoy this crap. It's a bad rip-off of "Look Who's Talking."Movie Review: So horrible, it is embarrassing for all involved.

Friends left this for me when I was babysitting their small children. We mutually agreed (they were 5 and 7) to shut it the hell down and go make s'mores.When "Body Heat" debuted in 1981, first time director (yes, it WAS 22 years ago) Lawrence Kasden sealed his career success by debuting a stylish, 40's film noir and coaxing great performances from bad boys William Hurt, Mickey Rourke and Ted Danson (OK,OK, Ted's not a bad boy, but you get my drift). Bursting on the scene like a cat on the prowl was amazing actress and bodyKathleen Turner. Let's face it, the ice cubes in the bathtub scene and the Lauren Bacall voice- channeling made Kathleen one of Hollywood's hottest prospects.
It's sad to thing that, 18 years later and a few good films later, Hollywood has so few roles for older women that Kathleen was reduced to this dreck.
Turner gets dragged through the scenes with some actors of comic note: Christopher Lloyd, Peter MacNichol, Dom Deluise (at least he looks comedic, I don't pass judgement on his normal schtick. ).
The visual effects suck, the tone is histrionic, and director Bob Clark III (How could he give us "A Christmas Story" with Peter Billingsley, and actually allow this film to air? Wasn't he afraid? Was he out of his mind?....maybe, he's also the man behind the "Porky's" flicks). somehow brings this bomb to a conclusion. I don't know what it was, we couldn't watch anymore.
Movie Review: Like shooting babies in a barrel.
Summary: 1 Stars
Most of the time, one star reviews are saved for movies that haven't gotten many, to enlighten the public that the views of my peers are inflated. This one, however, has been nearly universally panned, so the need to write a one star review for it is different. I simply need to reiterate that no matter how cute you may think it is, no matter how much you think your kids might like it, you can't condone behavior like making Baby Geniuses. The basic premise is that baby talk is actually intellectual conversation, and that babies lose this ability when they learn how to speak in their native tongue. For actors, there's a mad scientist played by Psycho Mom Kathleen Turner, Peter MacNicol as a father, who was in Ghostbusters II as the Eastern European guy, and Kim Catrall, currently being easy on Sex in the City, previously making me queasy in the Police Academy series. They more or less start out with a one star movie, but it actually goes down from there.
It's basically a mix of Home Alone shenanagans and babies talking about quantam physics in their diapers. What? Exactly. This goes past "nauseating cute" into "throwing fecal matter at the screen and hiding under the couch cute." If you can stomach this movie, you're probably a cow and have six to work with.
Movie Review: Baby idiots
Summary: 1 Stars
I'll cut to the chase on this review. This is the worst attempt at comedy that I've ever seen. The whole story involves Dr.Kinder(played by Kathleen Turner) believes that babies hold the key to life's mysteries through their gibberish. So the quack kidnaps kids and holds them in a facility to test her inane theory. One of the babies named Sylvester escapes, they go looking for Sylvester and kidnap the wrong baby and Sylvester comes to the baby's rescue. The jokes fall flat and they have a bad tendency to repeat a lame joke about poop several times. Diaper gravy is not funny and it will never be! All the crummy jokes and gags are not the only flaw of this movie. Kathleen Turner is at her worst here and the rest of the cast is just awful. If you like jokes that wouldnt even appeal to the most simple-minded kid then you're the type of jello-brained idiot...ooops I meant to say this movie was made for you. Here's more movies you'll love if liked this one: Freddy Got Fingered, Look Who's Talking Now, Home Alone 4: Taking Back The House, Honey We Shrunk Ourselves, The Garbage Pail Kids, Howard The Duck, Problem Child 2, 3 Ninjas: High Noon At Mega Mountain, Scooby Doo(2002), Dude, Where's My Car and Superbabies: Baby Genuises 2.
