 Baby Geniuses (DVD)
 Baby Geniuses (DVD) ... DVD released 13 October, 2003 at Uca Catalogue / Features of the DVD: PAL / When babies babble or draw, adults jokingly say they know what the baby is trying to communicate. What if a clinic found that these babblings and doodles were actually very intelligent responses or scribbling of an ancient form of communication? Well, it seems that all it would create is this tepid comedy. Kathleen Turner runs the clinic that believes babies have "universal knowledge" before they learn to speak (and dumb down). What she plans to do with this knowledge is never really understood, but know this: the plans are evil. The secret lives of babies have been pretty adorably filmed previously with Look Who's Talking, but here the babies talk and move via visual effects like the animals in Babe. They also karate chop adults and talk about such adorable things as "diaper gravy". By the time the story (a variation of The Parent Trap) heats up (relatively speaking), there is not much left to engage us except some cute babies that just look odd as effects take over their mouths and movements. --Doug ThomasNewest Review: ... was separated from his twin Wit at birth.

From the get-go Baby Geniuses lays it's cards on the table. An escapee baby is chased down by SAS style armed guards. The baby uses it's martial arts skills to kick one adult in his most delicate place, then being captured and marched back to 'the secret lab'. The mood is of total fantasy and comic book villains, aimed squarely at an undemanding audience of course including young kids. The direction is simple, in part bec...more |

67. Baby Geniuses (1999) [film only review] There has been a great deal of hatred thrown at this movie. People claiming it the worst ever made, and ready to divorce their wife for renting it. In contrast to my last review I was expecting this to be a truly awful experience, especially as someone who has yet to find babies cute. So I was as surprised as anyone that Baby Geniuses isn't all that bad. I can't see what all the fuss is about. In many ways it's just another middle of the road, goofy and unoriginal family film. Although by virtue of it's bizarre subject matter alone it was more engaging than many of it's contemporaries. Elena Kinder ... Read the complete review

Adults beware, if after Look Who's Talking you still find babies who can talk hilarious, then this is the film for you. If however you have more mature tastes then I suggest that this film is for viewing by very young children only. Baby Geniuses, will appeal to the kids simply due to the fact it has talking children in it. However with a poor plot, miscast characters, and a very weak ending, Baby Geniuses, is hardly worth renting from your local video store, let alone buying. Working on the simple premise that babies are geniuses, and posess all the knowledge of the universe until they reach a certain age, where they forget everything, we have ... Read the complete review

Most of the time, one star reviews are saved for movies that haven't gotten many, to enlighten the public that the views of my peers are inflated. This one, however, has been nearly universally panned, so the need to write a one star review for it is different. I simply need to reiterate that no matter how cute you may think it is, no matter how much you think your kids might like it, you can't condone behavior like making Baby Geniuses. The basic premise is that baby talk is actually intellectual conversation, and that babies lose this ability when they learn how to speak in their native tongue. For actors, there's a mad scientist played by Psycho ... Read the complete review
