Summary: Like shooting babies in a barrel.
Review: 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.

Summary: Wretched beyond comprehension
Review: One truly wonders how movies such as this get made, and how respectable actresses like Kathleen Turner somehow convince themselves that taking roles such as this are actually good career moves. This is truly dreadful stuff. If someone you love suggests renting this movie to watch at home, I would say it is high time to give your relationship a serious re-evaluation. This garbage is angling for a spot on my list of the 10 worst movies I have ever had this misfortune to see. Burning every copy of this film would be doing humanity a favor.

Summary: Light years ahead of it's time
Review: Technologically superb and metaphorically complex story of corporate greed and how the tools of our Information Age labor can serve to topple the evil and manipulative powers that be. "Baby Geniuses" tells the story of how baby products magnate BABYCO plans to manipulate their new technology to decode "baby talk" for their own evil agenda. They don't plan on how advanced the human baby really is, in mind and in body. Ironic that the untapped resource they so desire is their ultimate downfall. Somewhat akin to Shelley's "Frankenstein" in this respect, and no less the classic. Attempting to play God is tempting, but challenging nature has it's own Hell to pay. Director Bob Clark is again in top form and has a blockbuster cast with whom to work. Kathleen Turner is stellar as Dr. Elena Kinder, the scientist who spearheads the plan to harness the mental energy of the toddler nation and eventually meets her doom to the blade of the guillotine. Her wildly misdirected maternal instincts will undoubtedly be discussed in film school classrooms as well as psychoanalytical roundtables for generations to come. She is aptly supported by Christopher Lloyd and Peter MacNicol, and the viewer is even treated to the morosely comic stylings of none other than legendary stage actor Dom DeLuise. Unfortunately, this is yet another one of those technologies that the U.S. Government is widely rumored to already possess. Hopefully for the good of society, someone with executive decision making power has seen this work and realizes just how dangerous this can be. We must learn from the sins of our past if we are to right this ship as we sail into the next millenium. This is one of those movies where ten, twenty, even fifty years from now, people will look back and say that it was one of those landmark movies that not only defined it's time, but also defined our future.

Summary: Choose another movie to entertain yourself...
Review: The previews of this movie made it look halarious. It was anything but. Actually it was just a bunch of mumbo jumbo about nothing. I thought the kid was cute when he was trying on different outfits and dancing around...especially when he put on the white polyester suit and did his "Saturday Night Fever" dance. But even then, the computer generated like moves cut it down. This movie was hardly entertaining.

Summary: The worst family movie I've ever seen
Review: The story was week and stupid and the effects were bad. I felt cheated out of my money after I saw this movie in the theater with my kids. My kids couldn't even wait for it to end. Two thumbs way down.

Summary: Kids will love the adorable babies and dumb adults.
Review: The theme of this movie is a universal truth. The baby actors have a special magic that is captured beautifully in this story. The lip animations are sometimes amazing. The slapstick humor borderlines on violent and the adult dialog is not enough to keep parents entertained. Director Bob Clark's great sense of humor is fantastic fun for kids, but parents will be bored if not confused by the gapping holes in the plot. Kathleen Turner plays a great Evil Witch but whats her story? Why are the characters doing what they are doing? And another thing, can someone please get Christopher Lloyd a cab out of town, I will gladly pay the fare.

Summary: The biggest piece of "diaper gravy" of 1999.
Review: There is so much wrong with this movie. For one thing, the babies' mouths DO NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT move in sync with what they are saying. A couple of times, the adult actors' voices do not go with what they are saying, either. This was a major annoyance in the movie. It would not have been so bad if they just had the babies do their actions and have voice-overs without their lips moving (like Homeward Bound, a 5-star movie). But no, the movie is ruined. Buy and be sorry.

Summary: Oh my God!
Review: These babies are real geniuses. They can talk and dance and beat people up. Christopher Lloyd is the ultimate genius and the big fat old lady is comedy too. The special effects are just breathtaking. Simply irresistible! If there's one movie your kids have to see in their lifetime, it's "Baby Geniuses". You'll watch it and then watch it over and over. You'll ask yourself to go back in time just to experience it for the first time.

Summary: Funny Film!
Review: This is a funny film, with a funny cast: Kathleen Turner, Christopher Lloyd, Kim Catrall, Peter MacNicol, Leo Fitzgerald, Myles Fitzgerald, Gerry Fitzgerald, and Ruby Dee. I heard that there's a "Baby Geniuses 2: Superbabies" coming in 2003, I hope it's great as the first movie.
