Look Who's Talking

The concept of woman-with-child-meets-man-and-falls-in-love has been done to death in the movie industry. The only thing that can save a movie from being lost in the existing hash is a gimmick that makes it unique. Fortunately, "Look Who's Talking" gives a fresh perspective on an otherwise trite situation by demonstrating it from the baby's point of view. Even this could become annoying were it not for the fact that, rather than having a child actor flesh out the character, the clever, snappy dialogue is delivered by Bruce Willis in his most likeable role since "Moonlighting". Had they used a child's voice, lines such as "Let's get some apple juice down here!" would be merely cute; with Willis' smoky growl, they are hysterically funny.

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.

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.

Smart little comedy that expresses what a young baby is thinking (voiced by Bruce Willis) throughout its running time. Likeable performances from Kirstie Alley, John Travolta, George Segal and Olympia Dukakis add to the sometimes mediocre screenplay and unsteady direction. The clever idea though, which is very original, carries the film and makes it a funny and entertaining experience. 3.5 out of 5 stars.

John Travolta is very charming in this film.The chemistry between John and Kristie is fabulous. They both look great together. The director captures the best expressions of the baby.. Bruce Willis does well with the voice over. A nice feel good film
