Summary: Out Of The Mouths Of Babes
Review: The woman behind the 80's teen comedy classic, Fast Times At Ridgemont High and the 90's trend setter comedy Clueless, hit it real big with the irresistible Look Who's Talking. The film presents the world through the wide eyed view of an infant.

Mollie (Kirstie Alley) is a single mother in her mid-30's who sets out to find a proper father for her son. Baby Mikey (whose inner thoughts are expressed by Bruce Wilis) is determined to make his opinion on the subject known through his actions--he favors James Ubriacco (John Travolta), a cab driver, his frequent baby-sitter, who's lots of fun. His real dad Albert (George Segal), by contrast is a slimey womanizer, with little redeeming qualities. But by the time he learns to talk, it may be too late.

Written and directed by Amy Heckerling, the movie is light and fun, allowing for commentary about life that we can all relate to. Travolta uses his turn as James for his umteenth "comeback" and has great sparkle opposite Alley, who at the time was on a roll herself, thanks to her gig on TV's Cheers. As the voice of Mikey, Willis is pitch perfect, capturing the spirit of child like wonderment (with just a twinge of sarcasm as well). The gimmick never gets over used and its really no different than what John Hughes did with Ferris Bueller The film also has wonderful performances from Olympia Dukakis as Mollie's mom Rosie and the great Abe Vigoda as James's Grandpa. The scenes at the retirement home are the best part of the movie.

The DVD allows viewers to watch the film in either the widesceen or full frame formats. It's somewhat disappointing that the only extra on the disc is the theatrical trailer---an audio commentary might be interesting.

Look Who's Talking is good fun. It's a shame that the idea had to be taken too far in two lesser films. Still you can't beat the one that started it all.

Summary: If We Could Only Hear What Babies Are Thinking!
Review: This film explores a wonderful idea: Let's see the world through the eyes of an infant. What could we learn about ourselves? John Travolta and Kirsty Alley are wonderful as two thirty-something people who, despite many differences end up loving each other and "bringing up Baby". We "hear" what the little tyke is thinking and how the "grown up world" is confusing the heck out of him. Some of our modern society's pros & cons are a bit exaggerated, i. e. new moms, no matter how long their biological clock had already been ticking, don't get hysterical about EVERYTHING like the Kirsty Alley character does here, most folks are more layed back and take life a lot easier. Also, between an accountant and a flight instructor, I actually thought the flight instructor was the bigger bread winner. In this film the John Travolta character was needlessly belittled and cut down for supposedly being a "poor provider". Still this is an enjoyable film, with the little kiddo coming up the biggest winner. Watch this movie, you'll like it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great comedy!
Review: This is a very funny movie! Much better than the sequel. Alley and Travolta are a great couple!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent movie
Review: This is just the first one. Pretty well-done. Just buy it and look at someone else's reviews for stuff like this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love it!
Review: This is one of my childhood favorites! My cousin and I used to watch this one all of the time. Kirstie Alley and John Travolta give great performances, and so does the rest of the cast. Bruce Willis is the voice of Mickey.

This is a great family film, but the PG-13 rating is there for a reason. It contains scenes of sensuality, and some adult language. Oh, and, if you do decide to let your kids watch this one, be ready to answer their questions about the sperm/egg opening sequence. My little sis sure did have lots of 'em!

Highly Recommended!

Summary: Wonderfully smurfy!
Review: This is one of the smurfiest films that I have ever seen. Mickey is absolutley the smurfiest little smurf that I have ever smurfed! You must smurf to the video store and smurf this video. Your whole family can watch this smurfalicious video.

They need to make a Look Who's Talking about Baby Smurf. Since he is unable to speak (and never will, as Smurfs stay the way that they are forever, and never grow up, mind you...) I would love to hear his thoughts on the happenings around the Smurf Village. That would absolutly be a riot! I can't wait for someone in Hollywood to greenlight that little "smurfiest-of-all that-is-smurfy" project!

Have the smurfiest of smurfs!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Funny Movie
Review: This is the only Kirstie Alley movie I have ever really enjoyed it is so interesting to see how people think a baby thinks. Everything about it is so realistic because a baby would be thinking similar things because they don't know better. The premise is that Mikey a hip baby is born out of wedlock to Kirstie Alley who at the hospital meets John Travolta a cab driver and he becomes Mikey's babysitter throughout the entire movie Mikey provides sarcastic commentary on what happens around him. This movie is good for people 11 and older because it does have some sexual dialouge and language but other than that it is okay. I hope that this review has helped you in making a decision about this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Two thumbs up indeed!
Review: THIS movie is a classic! Mollie (Kirstie Alley) accidentally becomes pregnant by the wrong man. Seeing that a relationship with the real father just won't work out, she goes on a search to find a suitable father for her new son, Mikey. While she's going out searching for the right one, her babysitter, James (John Travolta), has the time of his life watching over Mikey. Could James possibly be more than a babysitter, or is there a better man?

That's one of the best things about "Look Who's Talking". Kirstie Alley and John Travolta have great chemistry together, and they, along with the baby, make this movie a classic that I'll never forget. The movie takes turns following Mollie around as she meets a bunch of Mr. Wrongs while she tries to find Mr. Right, and Mikey, who has Bruce Willis telling us all what Mikey's thinking throughout the movie.

"Look Who's Talking" has several parts that you'll probably remember for the rest of your life once you see them, such as the opening sequence that shows hundreds of creatures inside the body talking to each other as they race for the endzone, and my favorite, the part where the song "Walking on Sunshine" plays as James shows Mikey how to dance.

That brings me to another point. "Look Who's Talking" has a GREAT soundtrack. From the upbeat "Walking on Sunshine", to the overly catchy "Let My Love Open the Door", you might find yourself jamming along to some of the tunes while both hemispheres of your brain work together to form your overall opinion of the movie itself.

If you ask me, I say that "Look Who's Talking" is one of the best movies of the late 80's, and I'd even go so far as saying it's one of the best in its genre. It's funny, it has good drama and acting, and it's entertaining from start to finish. What more can you ask for? Get it now!
