Look Who's Talking (1989)

Really should be Zero stars

This movie fails on every account when it comes to traditional family values, and to me what was supposed to be comical was just plain silly and stupid. The whole movie revolves around a baby produced by a man's adulterous affair with an unmarried woman, and the resulting baby's attempts to find a father. Don't waste your time on this one. Haven't they heard of sanctity of marriage? December 9, 2007

"Look Who's Talking." Not For This Family

If you're looking for a movie about a baby who talks, then this movie is for you. "Look Who's Talking" is a very bad movie to view, not to mention Mikey, (voiced by Bruce Willis), who is an annoying character. I felt like I wanted to smack the mother, also, there is a fight in the movie between John Travolta and Mikey's real father. Horrible.
This movie is an insult to a family. Somebody needs to fry for this one. September 1, 2007

A Very Happy Movie!

This is really cute.

A girl has an affair and gets pregnant. But she meets her future husband in a taxi on her way to the hospital on the day of the Mikey's birth.

I wouldn't say it was one of John Travolta's best, but this movie will make you laugh so hard your face turns red! February 18, 2007

Look whos talking

This is a very funny movie Starring Kirsty Alley & John Travolta . The story of how Kirsty Alley gets pregnant while having an affair with a married guy who has all kind of excuses of why they cant be together. She gives birth to Mikey (woman can relate to all the birthing parts of this movie :) ) and she hires a babysitter(John Travolta) who is great with Mikey. Kirsty tries to decide who would be a better father to Mikey and the rest is a very funny romantic story with a scarey but happy ending. Mikey talks thru the whole movie(or what we percieve that hes saying) and is an adorable charactor. This is the best in the sequel of
Look Whos Talking movies but I rate them all very highly. January 19, 2007

A Film That Speaks To You?

"Look Who's Talking" is probably my favorite film with Kirstie Alley, my favorite film with John Travolta (though "Grease" comes close) and my favorite film with Bruce Willis (though I'm not exactly a fan of his). It's funny, it's romantic, it's got some innovative special effects, a couple of car chases, and John Travolta even gets to fly a plane (which he must have really enjoyed at the time!).

Kirstie Alley plays Mollie, an accountant who has an office affair with one of her clients (George Segal), and ends up getting pregnant. It wasn't planned, and she's a little ashamed of the source, but Mollie soon warms to the idea of having a baby. After a traumatic day late in the preganacy, Mollie goes into labor in the middle of the bustling streets of New York, and takes a cab driven by the easy going James (John Travolta). Though it's not really what he wants to do (he wants to be a pilot) he's very good at driving a cab, and gets Mollie there very quickly. She has the baby, Mikey, and he's something of a thinker (voice/thoughts spoken by Bruce Willis), wondering to himself what this strange world around him is, and who these strange people around him are. He starts to grow up as time goes on, and Mollie decides to look for a father. She made a mistake, and she owes it to Mikey to find him a Dad. She dates here, she dates there, but could the right Dad be staring her in the face this whole time?

Everyone plays their part well, and the plot flows really nicely, bit of action, bit of a thoughtful moment, bit of a laugh. It's a romatic comedy of sorts, and it's a funny look at early motherhood, it's interesting seeing both happening at the same time. It's one of those films I can watch again and again, and have done over the years. The soundtrack is great too, a mixture of some older pop hits and contemporary 1980s tunes (including "Dumb Things" by Australian musician Paul Kelly during the taxi labor scene, a song I really like).

Overall, it's a sweet and funny little film, a definitely worth a look for fans of anyone in it. Recommended. October 12, 2006
