Look Who's Talking

This is certainly not my sort of film, but after my girlfriend began complaining we always watch my movies, I prepared myself for 90 minutes of fake laughter and smiling to keep her happy, after all who else was I gonna take to see the new 'Clint' movie out.

However the opening scene with the tadpoles set the way for 90 minutes of top notch comedy, not exactly a laugh a second sort of comedy like Scary Movie or The Naked Gun, but a more all round sort of comedy where most gags hit the mark, certainly a major difference to Scary Movie! The casting is spot on, one of the major differences to the sequel. Bruce Willis is a great choice to play the voice of Mikey, and John Travolta is fantastic. But for me it was George Segal who stole the show for me, playing Mikey's real father, who in his words is going through a 'selfish phase'.

Sadly the sequels are simply terrible, but this movie is one of the best comedies I've seen in a long time, and I gave it 8/10.

Good scenario isn't it: baby observes the world as an adult would with sarcastic quips and anecdotes. And the movie itself is also quite good. Although it has the neccessary light touch, it's also rather adulty. Films of this calibre wouldn't usually have quite so much innuendo and sex-talk in them. This doesn't take away from the overall enjoyment of the movie, but it certainly is surprising.

There's a good cast to back this up. Kirstie Alley is ideal as the sexy single mother. John Travolta repeats his character in Saturday Night Fever to a certain degree, which isn't a bad thing. Bruce Willis steals the show as the voice of the baby though.

The result is a pleasing and enjoyable little comedy so I recommend "Look Who's Talking". My IMDb rating: 6.7/10.

If genial is what you're after, then look no further. "Look Who's Talking" adds a maternity twist to the rom-com that, along with Heckerling's wit, makes this an altogether pleasing movie, even if you're not always keen on the subgenre.

This was clearly written from experience and it made a pile of money, so it's doing something right. But the movie's best feature, its ace-in-the-hole, is Bruce Willis, using his persona to lend adult humor to an infant. On paper, it's nuts, but it totally works.

"Look Who's Talking" is fluff, but it's well made, no question.

And while we're on the subject, picture this: you just made the king of action movies, you've got 5 mil in the bank, what's your next move?

Voicing a baby.

'80s Bruce was really somethin' I yell ya.

I haven't seen this movie since my childhood and couldn't remember anything. Decided to check it out now as adult and ended up being pleasantly surprised. The movie is really good! The story is a pretty good idea, the kid's thoughts make it more original. Having Bruce Willis be the voice of the baby made it fun as well.

The rest of the cast is also great. John Travolta and Kirstie Alley have an exceptional chemistry. They were so sweet together. John Travolta's character James is also such a nice guy! John Travolta performs him in a way that makes all viewer fall in love. There is humor and romance and it is an absolutely refreshing movie to watch even though it is 30 years old.

Oh who doesn't like this movie? Kirstie Alley is charming, and John Travolta is a babe! Bruce Willis is hilarious as the voice of Mikey. "You must be thing that same thing I am" "Yeah, lunch!" A sweet light comedy that everyone should see. I guarantee that Mikey will cheer you up.
