Les petits génies

This was a pretty good movie, in my opinion. There was good humor, kids could watch it and enjoy it, and the plot is easy to understand. I don't know why people here don't like it, but that's their opinions. While I don't hate the movie, it can be a tad bit unbelievable. But if it were believable, then it couldn't exist. A kid might enjoy this and so might some adults. Comparable to Rugrats, it isn't as good as that show, but is the next best thing. What kids might like are the babies in the movie that could be just like them if they were like that. Man, I am running out of things to say. But I am almost at ten lines! The point is watch the movie. Phew! I made it.

This is up there with Chairman Of The Board(1998) starring none-other than Carrot-Top! This is the funniest movie of 1999. I love this movie. When a weak 20lb baby can beat up a fully grown adult, you know it's going to be a great show. I'm so glad this movie was made that I saw it four times in the theater, and as soon it came out, got it on DVD. Greatest show ever.

This is a comedy about a group of really smart babies who band together to rescue the twin brother of one and also thwart the evil baby mind control schemes of a duo of scientists (Kathleen Turner, Christopher Lloyd). Most of the time it's hilarious and the computerized special effects that cause the babies to do their dialogue and action movements on screen are great. If it weren't filled with some rude dialogue and suggestive humor though, it could've been a perfect G rated (instead of PG rated) family oriented film.

I think everyone here is just being a little too critical. It wasn't claiming to be greatest movie made since Gone With the Wind. It was just a cute movie, plain and simple. My daughter's and I laughed throughout the whole movie. It's not that serious-Lighten up people!

I completely disagree with all of the comments about this movie!

A friend and I were at the video store and bought this on a whim from the budget bin... I thought it looked bad enough that it would be a good laugh to watch it and make fun of it. No one was more surprised than me to discover that it was actually decent! It's a dark comedy not at all aimed at kids... I think it will become a great cult film like "Return to Oz." Admittedly it could have done without the numerous scenes depicting someone getting kicked, punched, or whacked in the family jewels, but other than that I had no major qualms with it at all. At times I laughed out loud, and I at least don't remember being bored at any point. What astonishes me most about the reviews of this films is that everyone seems to be taking it seriously! The same people who say that the plot is ridiculous probably loved movies like "Star Wars" and "Pulp Fiction." This movie didn't claim to be based in fact, and in fairness it can't be evaluated as such. Like any fiction film, it requires some suspension of disbelief. The dialogue isn't any worse than any of the action movies it so clearly mocks, and as for the acting, well, Peter MacNichol plays himself as usual (not a bad thing!), Christopher Lloyd turns in a appropriately cartoonish performance, and I was actually pretty impressed with the toddlers' physical acting, considering their age.

So, in summary, this isn't a 10 out of 10 but it isn't bad. You won't enjoy it if you take it too seriously, and you certainly won't enjoy it if you only look for its faults (which too many people seem to be doing). I give it thumbs up!
