Summary: So horrible, it is embarrassing for all involved.
Review: 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.

Summary: Kids need to be kids..
Review: Funny I was reading a lot of reviews most seem to reflect a negative response to this movie based on an it's appeal to adults and not the children which it was made for..

I own the sequel and my daughter loves it and so do the other children her age. These critics should realize this is no major budget film geared towards gaining Oscars recognition, but a film based on kids fantasy..

But for those critics of these type films... grow up and let the kids have some fun, but do call Dr. Phil he can help with those pent up frustrations from your childhood...

Summary: Babies attack.
Review: I disagree with the former reviews.... I thought that the movie was entertaining, and had a good soundtrack..... The movie made use of all the characters in-depth. Im not saying it is perfect, but lets be realistic, not many are. I think that it is entertaining enough def. to watch and buy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny, adorable, thought-provoking.....
Review: I found this movie totally funny and adorable! Very tastefully done, especially concerning the well-being of the children.

Thought-provoking? YES! Afterall, as a mother of one, I often find myself wondering what my 14-month-old son is babbling about. After seeing this movie, I TRULY wonder about it! The old turkish theory that all children are born with the knowledge of the universe, but forget when they "cross over" into the contemporary speaking world is truly mind-boggling. This movie took that theory to the extreme, and did it tastefully! Something many film makers fail to do!

BRAVO!!!!!

Summary: Am I the only one who thinks this movie is bad?
Review: I hope not. The sheer and utter stupidity of this film cannot even be measured, not even with one star. Unbelievably directed by Porky's creator and director Bob Clark, this was a stupid but inevitable mistake. In this [junk]-fest, baby "geniuses" are planning to take over the world, and even adults can't stop them. Staring at these ugly kids all through out the movie is enough to make one sick, especially with it's incredibly corny dialogue and annoying voices. I don't hate this movie because it's made for kids, I hate it because it [stinks]!

Summary: baby genius
Review: I rented this DVD a few years back, hoping for a little light entertainment, perhaps even a few chuckles. I got that, and a lot more. Based on the hilarious premise that babies have their own secret language, the script by Bob Clark and Greg Michael wastes no time in getting to the funny, featuring plenty of talking baby footage along the way (how did they do that?). I actually had to turn my closed caption option on, just to understand the dialogue that I had drowned out with my chuckles.

Since that time, it's been a sort of a personal quest of mine to overrule the movie snobs who trash this movie. I tell everyone I can about it, and have had to repurchase the DVD three times when I've loaned it out and the person has kept it. Rent it today - believe me, you won't be sorry. And go see that sequel - it looks pretty good, too!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Horrible, Horrible movie!!
Review: If you like to see adults get beat up then you should definatly buy this movie. That was supposed to be the funniest part of the movie I'm guessing. If a baby was supposed to be smarter than Albert Einstein I don't think they would be saying things like "Diaper Gravy". All in all this was the worst movie I've ever seen. You'll have to pay me at least $100 to ever see it again.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: AWFUL!!!
Review: It's the worst movie for children I've ever seen!. Was it supposed to entertain the kids?. My 6 and 7-year old children kept yawning all the time... The idea behind the "scientific project" is scary as it is having those poor children confined in an underground lab. The family running the child care is out of this world and K.Turner overacts. What else?. Find a better way to entertain your children: read, play a board-game, draw, talk,... if you share time with them YOU'll always know what they're talking about!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: AAHHH!!! (as in suprise and/or alarm)
Review: me and my fellow cohorts thought we'd find a new way to torture ourselves via the medium of motion picture, or "talkies" as i perfer to call them. i started it all with "head" starring the monkeys, and thought it best i end the torture 3 or so weeks later, after such masterpieces as "battlefield earth", "kazaam", and "santa with muscles", by renting "da hip hop witch"(check the reviews on that, and i think his grudge against me is still in effect). but the pain was far from over after we found this "doozy".

why was this movie even made? here's all i have to say about the movie.
1-Gene Siskel called it one of the worst movies of the year... and then died later that year(possibly from the movie, we can't be sure...more tests)
2-maximum of 1,000 words, hrmm, i could have done it in two: Diaper Gravy.


Rating: 3 stars
