Summary: Unrealistic and not funny
Review: "Baby Geniuses" is one of the biggest disappointments ever. From the previews, I thought "Baby Geniuses" was gonna be hilarious. But I was wrong. Only a couple of parts in the movie even made me grin.

A relentless scientist (Kathleen Turner) keeps babies in order to do research on them. She wants to make it to where every baby from that point on will be a genius. Trouble arises when her smartest baby, Sly, gets away. Sly has a twin named Whit. Some of Kathleen Turner's employees kidnap Whit because they think it's Sly. Whit's father (Peter MacNicol) must try to understand what his daughter and Sly are trying to tell him in order to get Whit back.

"Baby Geniuses" was a big disappointment. I was expecting it to be funny and entertaining. You would expect a movie that has talking babies and even a baby that can do karate to be hilarious, but not in this case. The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one is because it halfway kept me entertained. It's not the worst movie ever made, but it's one of the worst of the year. If you want to see a funny movie that features talking babies, I would recommend sticking with the "Look Who's Talking" series.

Summary: The worst film of 1999, if not the century.....
Review: As a person who never gets offended at anything, I must admit that this film offended me. Rude, crude, dull, and unfunny, it also borders on child pornography in several scenes. The acting is over the top at every turn, especially Kathleen Turner who clearly needs to fire her agent for this one. More than the film however, I am frightened by the fact that I live in a world in which this pile of waste made $20 million and people have claimed to laugh! If this is humorous, what isn't? Not for adults, not for children.....not even for those so desperate for distraction on a dull Saturday night that they would consider deliberate pain and suffering.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: How I hate this stupid movie
Review: Babies can talk? give me a break. You see the DVD's cover? Tell you the truth, if you watch this stupid movie you will have to see this ugly-looking kid throughout the film.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Must-See Comedy For ALL Adults!
Review: Baby Geniuses is a wonderful comedy that all adults will get a real kick out of! If you have ever watched and listened to an infant prior to the age that they begin speaking, then you will find this film a delightful twist to the norm.

The film is about Dr. Elena Kinder's (Kathleen Turner) attempt to map and exploit the extra senses that a baby has to communicate; to figure out how, from the moment they enter this world, they are able to speak and understand other babies. She believes that if her scientist, Dr. Heep (Christopher Lloyd), can discover the hidden secrets, by studying the babies that they keep captive in their laboratory, that she will be rich beyond her dreams. But, unbeknownst to her, one of her babies has an identical twin brother that was adopted by her competitor, and the two get switched by accident. The remainder of the film is the babies' fight against the adults of the world, to get the twins back together again and to free the other babies that are in the lab. It becomes a Home Alone style battle, that ends leaving you laughing at the adults who got all that they deserved!

The language of the film is fairly clean, but does contain some words and phrases that may not be suitable for young children. Besides bare baby bottoms the film has no nudity, and all of the violence within is clean, and humorous. The picture quality is of very good quality as well as the sound. Excellent directing, lighting, and camera effects enhance the film greatly.

Summary: More of a car accident than a movie
Review: Both can result in Post Tramadic Stress Syndrom and both make you not want to repeat the experience. The actors are bad(and trust me I have seen many "bad movies)the plot is invisable(there isn't one) and my time was wasted. I realize that this is a kid's movie for a specific audience but happened to making a movie enjoyable for adults? Or kids over 5 for that matter

Overall-I know you are not thinking about wasting your time with this movie but just in case you've blown a circut and feel compleaded to rent do not bother.

Summary: Like the Exorcist on acid.
Review: Don't be fooled by the apparent innocence of the infant in glasses that graces this video's cover. The cover in no way describes the movie you're about to watch...a dark, violent film noir piece set in the early 1940's.

The film verison, like Lord of the Rings, had to be changed a bit for the big screen, and you'll find a few things differ from the original French novel "Le Genius Babie."

These changes, as you'll find, are mostly aesthetic. For example: since this film version takes place in the '90s instead of the novel's 19th century setting, the babies use the internet to find their pornography as opposed to looking thru grandpa's lithographs.

But rest assured, the central figure of the film is still Baby John Bastardo. His quest is intact from the novel, too: kill all other living babies (by beheading, of course) to claim his birthright: immortality.

Unfortunately, there's another very smart, very resourceful tot standing in the way of John's plans: Baby George the Beautiful.

I won't give away too much of the plot, as I'm sure you're all familiar with it (after all, Le Genius Babie is required reading in most high schools), but I will relate one of the most chilling scenes I've ever witnessed in cinema: when Baby John takes the beautiful Baby Jean de los Underpants hostage, and subsequently pulls out her right eye with a shrimp fork, I was riveted...RIVETED to my seat.

In short, "Baby Geniuses" is definitely not for kids. It's dark, twisted, and a guilty pleasure not to be missed.

Summary: ***WARNING*** May be hazordous to your health..
Review: Dont waste your time, just dont! This movie totally sucked. Not at all what I expected. Why anyone would want to put themselves through this torture is beyond me. I learned my lesson the hard way a few years ago when I picked this garbage up from the "bargain bin" at a local video store. Please..at this point I think Id pay someone to get this movie off of my hands. Thats how bad it is!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I must protest with all that I have......
Review: Either Johnny8Ball is at the height of his sarcastic powers or he has contributed the single worst review ever to appear on Amazon.com. Not only is the movie he selected one of the most incompetent and offensive ever made, it is perverse, dull, slapdash, and horribly unfunny. The alleged "humor" never hits (NOT ONCE!) and the performances by the "legendary cast" range from embarrassing to downright shameful. Hopefully, potential viewers will avoid the obviously jaded rambling of Mr. Eight Ball and stay far, far away from a film that would not appeal to anyone, adults or children.
