P'tits génies 2

I've heard a lot of fuss that this movie is "bad" and even "not good". I understand its not exactly "the godfather" or the original "baby geniuses", however I think that the cinematography and the acting prowess of John Voight set this film apart as one that all children should see. Beneath the plot lie morals and lessons that can apply to all. I don't want to give away any spoilers but it should be noted that the ending is not to be missed!

I bought the DVD to watch with my son not expecting much and I was blown away. The cinematography is such that it actually appears that the babies are talking! As if that were not enough, the special effects put you right in the action as if you were one of the baby geniuses fighting the evil forces of Kane (Voight)!

This is surely not to be missed and I expect we will be hearing more about this film when the Oscars roll around!

Too much negativity folks. I took my kids to see it and along with a lot of the other children present in the theater, they enjoyed it.So what if the jokes were corny, it made the kids laugh. So what if the plot was corny, it made the kids laugh.So what if it was predictable, it made the kids laugh. Also, here's Jon Voight one of the greatest actors of our time playing a character the made the kids laugh which he probably enjoyed. I think it's great that Mr. Voight took on a role that is totally different then any role he has done just to make children laugh. OK, so maybe it's not a masterpiece but what the heck, the most important thing is hearing children laugh especially the way the world is today, a childs laughter will always put a smile on any adults face.

Here are my hastily-prepared excuses:

I promised my daughter I'd baby-sit for her son from 11 AM to 4 PM. It was cool and overcast and rain was predicted. I didn't want to go to a park... and after lunch, when I mentioned "Superbabies," the deal was struck!

Background: My grandson fell in love with superheroes this year, and he has been alternately garbed as Spiderman and Superman, as well as a pirate complete with eye patch and skull-and-crossbones hat. His favorite possession is his plastic sword! Yesterday, going to the movie, he asked me if I could get him a parrot to sit on his shoulder!

He loved the movie and gave it two "thumbs up" (both his)! So, if you have an almost four-year-old, it might work for you. Otherwise, forget it. I paid $10.50 for both of us (one senior and one child) and slept through this movie.

OK, so the plot Is a little silly and the effects aren't exactly top- notch, but come on all you detractors - this movie Is aimed at 6-YEAR- OLDS, for goodness sake! It's meant to make the young ones laugh and the adults cringe In embarrassment! I find It rather sad that so many adults have so many bad things to say about a film so obviously not Intended for them! Why would a story about super-toddlers be aimed at a target audience above 13 anyway? This movie Is a laugh and a bit of imagination fun for the little-ones and It does It's job - the sets and effects are poor because they don't need to be any better and after all the whole thing Is pretty tongue-In-cheek! Super-hero kids take on the bad guys - what more can pre-teens ask for? The kids liked It and that's what counts!

I took two kids (nine and four) to see this movie. I knew it wouldn't be good, because the first one wasn't, and this one is a sequel starring Scott Baio. Now I volunteer to watch bad movies, and I'm easily amused, but I had no idea it would be like this. Never have I wanted so badly to dig my eyes out with a spoon. Everyone in the cast could benefit from a lobotomy. I don't count the actual babies because I'm not convinced they were real. The teen romance is on par with the touching love story in "Young Lust in the Leper Colony". And there was... a moral? Somewhere? Yeah, the moral is children are idiots, parents are suckers, and you'll watch our brain-damaging movies and like them. This movie makes me nostalgic for "Glitter", "From Justin To Kelly" and "Manos: The Hands of Fate". And I would rather be nailed to a chair and forced to watch those three films back to back for a week, than sit through this piece of s**t movie, ever again.

For the record, I had a blinding headache after the first 20 minutes, the four year old threw up, and the nine year old fell asleep. So nobody wins.
