Baby Geniuses

I saw this movie on the big screen and had no opinion one way or another about it. After 3 years, while searching for the work of "Seth Adkins" I came across this movie, and the many negative comments about it! So, I rented and watched the video to see what I missed that so many found to give it such a bad rating and review. My findings are as follows:

This movie is exactly what it is presented as!

Please note the following:

It was presented as a comedy. (Is is not?). It was presented as a silly, slap-stick comedy (Is it not?). It was NEVER presented to be an academy award winner!

I personally do not care for slap-stick humor, but I have to admit that this movie was somewhat enjoyable to me.

I respect Leonard Maltin's opinion about movies, as most of the time he is right on the money. However, this is one of the few times I have to disagree with him! Why did Leonard Maltin give the movie "Fire Down Below" 2 stars and this one BOMB status?? "Fire Down Below" is supposed to be a "serious" action/drama and Leonard Maltin himself admits that it is "Laughably bad"! However, here is a move that is supposed to be funny, silly, stupid (whatever way you put it), and he dumps all over it for being exactly what it was promoted to be!!!!!!!!!

No, I do not believe this is one of my favorite movies, but I believe that it has been given a very poor review, based upon many people who desire a more mature script. It is as entertaining as just about any Slap-stick comedy I have ever seen!

(Please note: There is some language and (very little (almost un-noticeable)) sexual suggestion that you might find objectionable or object to allowing young children to witness)!

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.

I love this movie. It's so adorable. I don't know why people hate it so much I mean it's just adorable little babie running around ruling the world. What are all of you people scared of them? lol. I can't wait until the sequel. Yes they're making a 2nd one wether u want 2 c it or not.

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!

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.
