Movie Review: Kids Say the Darndest Things!
Summary: 3 Stars

Mollie, a New York City accountant, becomes pregnant, thanks to her boyfriend, Albert. They aren't married, so Mollie claims it was artificial insemination. One day, Mollie finds Albert cheating on her so it was over between them. But then, her water broke and she had to be rushed to the hospital. Who should happen along but cab driver James Ubriacco. The midtown traffic was a disaster but James drove as fast as possible. Mollie's baby was soon born. He was named Mikey. He began to comment in his mind about everything he saw. James dropped in on Mollie one afternoon to return her purse which she had left in the cab. James even took Mikey out while Mollie took a nap. They went to go visit James' grandfather in a rest home and to the air field because aside from being a cab driver, James was a pilot. Mollie expressed her distaste of James unexpectedly taking Mikey out by hitting him; Mollie was looking for a suitable father figure for Mikey and James looked like a sure winner, but she won't even consider James. She dates several other guys while James babysits Mikey. He teaches him to dance and we all know John "Saturday Night Fever" Travolta is a heck of a dancer. But as luck would have it, Mollie and James begin to get close. Albert comes by one day and meets James, who interrogates Albert on what Mikey's favorite cereal was, how many diapers he goes through a day, favorite rock star, standard stuff a father should know. Albert also proved dull when Mollie and Mikey go to visit him. So that was it for him. James takes Mollie flying one afternoon. They go to visit James' grandfather and the events of the day are as follows: Mikey experiences what driving a car is like and Mollie and James finally fall in love; It's a pretty good movie. John Travolta and Kirstie Alley are good. Olympia Dukakis, Abe Vigoda and George Segal are here too! That is Bruce Willis doing the voice of Mikey! The original cast would return to do Look Who's Talking Too! Then they did Look Who's Talking Now where Mikey has grown up to the stage where he can talk on his own but it's the dogs that talk in that one. So in conclusion, I recommend all three of these films. You're looking for a good comedy or like any of the above actors, this one's for you!

Movie Review: "Yeah, lunch!"
Summary: 3 Stars

I've loved this movie since I was young, and didn't get half the jokes. A lot of the jokes are aimed at the adult audience, rather than teaching kids how they came into the world - it wasn't by a stork!

With all the recent bad press about Kirstie Alley's weight gain, it's good to watch her, when she was still reasonably slim. And she looks great in this film. Especially when she does the little dance, while feeding Mikey, and John Travolta walks in.

Although John Travolta will never be as good as he was in Grease, this is one of those movies, where he provides the laughs, and genuinely looks quite nice - especially when he has the bruise, after Mikey's real dad hits him with a phone! (You just wanna kiss him all better!) His love of beer and fast food is beginning to show in this, as he has a little stomach, which then becomes a big stomach for Pulp Fiction!

I'm never quite sure as Bruce Willis as the voice of Mikey. When I was younger, I probably didn't see a lot of Bruce Willis in movies, and still to this day, I don't really recognise his voice. He's trying too hard to have a high voice, and sure, on certain words, he lets slip, and you can hear its him. But it just doesn't sound like him.

This is a terrific film, to watch as a youngster, and as an adult, and be able to appreciate the sexual chemistry between John & Kirstie. It's funny, and although, the sequels aren't as good, when are they? I just have to get the second one on DVD now!

Movie Review: Awesome movie, limited format.
Summary: 3 Stars

My 3-star ranking would have been higher if the movie FORMAT were better... the movie itself is one of my all-time favorites. Travolta and Alley have excellent chemistry on the screen and Willis' commentary through little Mikey is hilarious. The MOVIE gets five stars. This PRODUCT, however, does not because it is FULL SCREEN. Instead of this more recent incarnation, try to get the original DVD release which is double-sided, with Widescreen on one side and Full Screen on the other.

Movie Review: Really should be Zero stars
Summary: 1 Stars

This movie fails on every account when it comes to traditional family values, and to me what was supposed to be comical was just plain silly and stupid. The whole movie revolves around a baby produced by a man's adulterous affair with an unmarried woman, and the resulting baby's attempts to find a father. Don't waste your time on this one. Haven't they heard of sanctity of marriage?
