Summary: You have to be a real sourpuss not to laugh at this movie
Review: A very very funny movie that kids LOVE! I don't get the carping about how derivative it is of Home Alone--it's a riot, so who cares? Certainly not a 7-year-old. There are some cleverly-written bits for grown-ups to appreciate, and some--like all the crotch-centered mishaps--that I could live without, but the kids think they're hilarious. I hate a lot of the bland "family fare" films, but this one truly is fun for the whole family. We've watched it dozens of times by now, and there are certain scenes that just never get old.

Summary: Family Favourite
Review: I bought this video when my son was 3 (8 years ago), my kids and I watch it a few times every year. It's so worn that I just bought the DVD. It's our family all-time classic next to the Lion King. The humour reaches both adults and kids (all ages), we laugh like crazy!A definite recommendation for all...

Summary: It's all fun and games until you see the un-cut version
Review: I recently bought this video for my 6 year old daughter. We rented this video from a video store about 2 months ago and she loved it. So when we were at a garage sale a week ago I saw it for 2 dollars and got it for her. Little did I know that this was not the same version I had seen before. From what I understand this is how it works. Some sick person goes in and finds a kids movie, he finds people who look similar to the actors, he then takes the script to the movie and alters it to make a very disturbing movie. Here are just some of the changes for one in this version "bink" has a twin brother "blink" who gets kidnapped by the smae people that bink did. They take both babies and demand a ransom for them just like in the original movie. But then it all changes, they decide that they don't get the money fast enough so the brutally decapitate one of the babies and bathe naked in it's blood. After that they leave the corpse of the baby in a trash bag on the parents front steps. Did I forget to mention they brutally execute the real baby photographers. I do not know how this version ends and frankly I do not want to know. I immeadiately burned this version and started to look for the sick people who would do somthing like this. So far i have had no luck. You can tell the differenc between the real and the child snuff film beacuse most likely you will not find the real one for they are very hidden and probably have to be specially ordered. I tried to contacted the people at the garage sale and they said they had no idea it was any different. The "child-snuff" films will have a black lining on the inside and a rating of "none given".
I do not dislike Baby's Day Out I just think it should be known that movies like this exsist.

Review: I remember seeing this movie in the theater when it came out and I finally managed to get it on tape this Thanksgiving. It's as funny now as it was back then. Why these three ditzes are holding a baby for ransom in the first place isn't really explained; it's pretty obvious that they don't know thing number one about taking care of a baby. But the scenes which make this movie one of my favorites include the incident involving the cigarette lighter, Joe Mantegna doing battle with the gorilla, and Nordby's completely off the wall rendition of "Mary Had a Little Lamb". (It followed her to work one DAY!!...and Mary lost her job!)

Review: If I were in the shoes of the three thugs who kidnapped Baby Bink, I wouldn't want anyone to know how I was foiled by a nine-month-old, especially one who helped put me behind bars.
This is a hilariously funny movie about a wealthy couple(Lara Flynn Boyle, Matthew Glave), whose precious baby is kidnapped all because Mrs. Cotwell wanted her son's photo in the newspapers. The thugs disguise themselves as photographers and trick her into leaving them alone with her son. But in the hilarity that follows, Baby Bink proves that he is not so helpless as he leads his captors on a wild goose chase around Chicago.
The whole family can watch this movie together,with great scenes of Chicago, and a wonderfully acted morality tale showcased in one of the best ways possible.-- Through the eyes of a child.

Summary: Leonard Maltin didn't get it! But you could...
Review: Ok, then, let's start with the fact that Leonard Maltin thought this is a bomb. He didn't like the cartoonish aspect of it, which John Hughes originally used in his "Home Alone" series, or the fact that John Hughes repeated himself. I view it differently. I see it as John Hughes creating a Kubrick-esque final statement on live cartoons. The film is hilarious at moments, even after watching it several times. The most amazing thing is the performance of the two young principals, the Worton twins. The director, by whatever magic, manages to infuse the "Baby Bink" performances with wit, and a significant tongue-in-cheek aspect. Yes, the gonads on fire joke is a bit on the nose, but the way John Hughes takes it to the extreme of this movie, who would dare to try and top that? And how could you even accomplish such a feat? In any event, this movie is a delight. And if you are curious about the process of making it, including some of the most incredible stunts performed by none other than Vern "Mini-Me" Troyer (uncredited as an actor, but mentioned on several occasions by the director in the commentary), listen to the commentary and laugh about the process, too!

Summary: Two grown up and two kid thumbs up!
Review: Really a good family movie--our 6 and 3 1/2 year olds love to watch again and again--and we don't mind not having to listen to Pokemon and Barney, either (at least for a few hours!)
