Baby Geniuses

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!

Just what I always wanted: to hear babies recycle stale catch-phrases from other movies (if you just can't get enough of the words "show me the money", this is the movie for you).

It would be a waste of time for me to describe what is bad about this movie, because EVERYTHING is bad - the writing, the directing, the acting... This is the only film I know that causes actual physical pain. Don't be surprised if viewing of this film is followed by repeated fits of vomiting. By the time the phrase 'diaper gravy' was used for the third time, I realized that that's exactly what this movie consists of. The worst film I have seen in my life. And yet... as the worst movie ever made, it holds an undeniable fascination.

I give Baby Geniuses a 1, only because zero isn't an option

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 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.

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.
