I absolutely love this movie it's totally geniuse absolutely brilliant and Sly, Whit, and Carrie are my favorite character's their awesome like in the movie Carrie was thinking of saying her first words to the grown-ups and all and before she does she say's to whit when I start talking in their language I'm just going to quote the gettysburgh address and whit says nah you gotta say da-da or ma-ma they go nuts do it. I love this movie I gave it 5 stars becuase the movie is awesome I just wish they would have came out with a movie soundtrack or a video game for this movie if they would have came out with either or I would defently get both the soundtrack and the game if they would come out with either one.

I'll cut to the chase on this review. This is the worst attempt at comedy that I've ever seen. The whole story involves Dr.Kinder(played by Kathleen Turner) believes that babies hold the key to life's mysteries through their gibberish. So the quack kidnaps kids and holds them in a facility to test her inane theory. One of the babies named Sylvester escapes, they go looking for Sylvester and kidnap the wrong baby and Sylvester comes to the baby's rescue. The jokes fall flat and they have a bad tendency to repeat a lame joke about poop several times. Diaper gravy is not funny and it will never be! All the crummy jokes and gags are not the only flaw of this movie. Kathleen Turner is at her worst here and the rest of the cast is just awful. If you like jokes that wouldnt even appeal to the most simple-minded kid then you're the type of jello-brained idiot...ooops I meant to say this movie was made for you. Here's more movies you'll love if liked this one: Freddy Got Fingered, Look Who's Talking Now, Home Alone 4: Taking Back The House, Honey We Shrunk Ourselves, The Garbage Pail Kids, Howard The Duck, Problem Child 2, 3 Ninjas: High Noon At Mega Mountain, Scooby Doo(2002), Dude, Where's My Car and Superbabies: Baby Genuises 2.

Kathleen Turner, star of Romancing the Stone (1986), Body Heat (1981), is the star of Baby Geniuses and plays the same character as she did in Body Heat...as a sexy seductress with her own evil lust and plans for meanness in a PG kind of way. One thing, little babies is what this movie is geared towards. Not kids, not adults, babies.

Christopher Lloyd is there, and it doesn't help the pain. Basically, all babies are geniuses, and Kathleen Turner is the antagonist. I didn't buy this movie, but, afterwards, I had to, because it is soooo stupid. If you are feeling the need to laugh at something, this too, is a movie for you. March 1, 2007

If you ever wondered what a look who's taking meets james bond movie would be like shame on you. It's ideas like that make crappy movies. Don't see this movie it'll be the worst movie you'll ever see. And if you kid keeps on bugging you to watch with them tell them you have a head ache because by the end you will by the stupity of this film. July 22, 2005

In my unending quest to add the next big "trash classic" to my DVD collection, "Baby Geniuses" was highly recommended by many of my fellow schlock-cinema mavens. Sadly, I found nothing "classic" about the flick... but the "trash" part definitely was showing through with each excruciating frame. I found myself overwhelmed with chagrin and disgust at every turn of this low-rent "Home Alone" wannabe. This sad waste of celluloid depicts some of the most UN-witty "witty" dialogue and the most UN-snappy "snaps", insults, rejoinders, and comebacks I've ever forced myself to sit through. And the dialogue between the "babies" (actually, more like young toddlers) ain't no picnic, either! I DID get a kick outta seein' Dom DeLuise get hit in the "forbidden zone" with a monkey wrench, though. I've always felt he needed to have that done to him... in real life... at least once a day. What can I say: I'm a sensitive, empathetic humanitarian type...

Bottom line: I'd have had a better time striking myself in the head with a ball-peen hammer for an hour-and-a-half than I did watching this sad loss of precious quality time. Show this bad-boy to yer young'un only if you want to frighten him/her into never, ever watching kiddie flicks ever again. However, if you're a sick eff who takes sadistic delight in seeing Christopher Lloyd, Kathleen Turner, and Kim Cattrall working some of the worst roles in their spotty acting careers, "Baby Geniuses" might just be what you've been lookin' for..
