Featured reviews
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.

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
