Just perfect...

Admirable film.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

My daughter is 11 and loved the movie we all have watched together...These actors have chemistry and we can feel it strongly...we all think the first movie is the best...Travolta's entertaining the kids makes all remember ours fathers and ourselves. Great movie, I just bought the DVD on eBay too bad no Blu-ray...always cry and laugh with this movie. Thanks to everyone that gave his best to it happen!

One wonders if Amy Heckerling has a thing about sex: not a positive thing but a negative thing, though this movie is not as anti-sex as Fast Times at Ridgemont High. The only two sexual encounters in this movie result in pregnancies, the first unwanted though the second is wanted. The first pregnancy is also very much a result from a sleazy guy married to a new age woman and uses all of his charm to get what he wants, and though he is a wonderful guy at the beginning, one quickly begins to see right through him.This movie is about a woman who has a baby and the father is not really all that interested so she decides to search for another father. The cab driver that took her too the hospital ended up being in the operating theatre when the baby was born and ends up being the babysitter. The twist in this movie is that we hear the babies' thoughts, and Bruce Willis seems to be a natural at this. I can just picture Willis having a lot of fun doing Mikey's voice-over.I guess this movie is working with an unusual concept, that of the baby's thoughts being heard, to drive the point of the fact that a baby needs a father. We have a couple of times when the baby wonders who the guy is that takes other babies away. Unfortunately the success of this movie meant that two sequels and a series were spawned from it which I don't think pushes the theme that this movie does.Personally I find that this movie is not as funny as I remembered it to be. There are a few really good lines though I did not think that having the baby talk added that much to it. It is interesting to see how people misinterpret the baby's actions, such as Mikey pulling out a photo of Jack saying that he wants Jack as his father while the others think he wants to see photos.Look Who's Talking was in its own way different when it hit the screens, but it was not that impacting that it sticks in the minds of people now. If mentioned we know what they are talking about but generally it has not gone away forgotten.

Who was this film made for? Can't be the kids, as much as they might enjoy all of the, albeit not really visually graphic, gross-out comedy, seeing as how there are some fairly intimidating sequences throughout(and the language isn't exactly child-proof, either, though it could be worse). The focus is entirely on the single mother and her child, so few men will(willingly) watch. No, this seems to have been made explicitly for the group that the main character belongs to, 30-something single mothers who, in spite of being smart, make stupid decisions(which will annoy women not in that group, I would guess). I watched this for the first time in years, and it's really almost sad how little of it I remembered or recognized. The plot, I suppose, isn't awful, and realistic enough(disregarding the entire premise of the child "talking"), but it does seem like they merely made up just enough to bring it to 90 minutes, and to tie together the various scenes of the toddler in situations that such would find themselves in, with Bruce Willis doing a voice of what the kid might be thinking/trying to say(well, at least it's not as bad as Garfield, where sometimes, Jon seems to understand the Tabby perfectly, whereas others, he isn't picking up anything but the fact that his lazy pet is trying to communicate), so that the whole movie wasn't just of that(that would have been unbearable, even Hollywood couldn't have asked that of human beings). The humor usually doesn't work. There was maybe one brief point I found amusing, and that was it. The joke of every bit that has Willis doing the voice is that as far back as the womb(which we get a visual of... because that's what we movie-goers are just *dying* to see), our offspring are intelligent, well-spoken... really, the only thing Mikey isn't shown to have, for obvious reasons, is experience. The instances of him talking will amuse some, but once that wears off, you'll find that it's really not funny. At all. The film plods along, at a pace that at times almost seems like a psychological experiment... "how much will the viewers take, before they stop watching", with the occasional nightmare. Good pieces of music are used in the movie, where the choice of that particular song is downright frighteningly obvious. And this got two sequels and a TV show. I recommend this to those who find themselves in the group for which this film was intended... whatever it is. 5/10

Look Who's Talking has guilty pleasure written all over it- a romantic comedy with the one twist being that you can hear the baby's inner-dialog (which is really the sarcasm of adult-hood represented wonderfully by Bruce Willis). It's a gimmick that actually does a service to a movie that otherwise would've been just another soapy rom-com about a woman looking for a father for her baby. Mollie (Kirstie Alley, in one of her most memorable performances, chiefly because she's believable and sympathetic most the way), gets knocked up by her boss (George Segal, also quite good as a smug a-hole), and decides to have the baby thinking he might act as the father. He doesn't, and she gets taken to the hospital thanks to cab-driver James (John Travolta, his kinda-sorta mini-comeback in the tail end of the 80s), and he soon befriends Mollie after returning her purse to her after her delivery. Soon a relationship unfolds, but not at first with him as Mollie tries to find someone who will be a *father* to her baby. All the while, the plucky little tyke just wants the guy who makes him laugh the most- and doesn't annoy him by changing the channel when Snuggles the Bear is on.So yeah, a lot of Look Who's Talking, when I think back on it, is pretty cute and almost leans threateningly to the schmaltzy. But what saves it is its fantastic sensibility, mainly in the screenplay where the humor is genuine (however here and there of a sitcom side), and dealing through all of the goofy baby jokes a story and characters that shouldn't be un-sympathetic or even un-empathetic to some viewers. And more often than not, the jokes connect so well that I still grin thinking back to more than a few scenes and lines, like when Mollie- trying one last time- takes Mikey to see his real father, and then as a fight almost breaks out, Mollie breaks a statue, and Mikey follows along ("Take that, Tonto!") A terrific piece of casting is done on the supporting side for Abe Vigoda, who is pretty much hysterically funny in any scene he's in. Travolta, too, is surprisingly funny and amiable here, with his charm meter the highest it's been since. Although the ending is probably way too 'uh-oh', and the final little scene in the credits is a cheap set-up for lesser sequel(s) time, this is a movie that works best on its merits of working cleverly in a conventional format, but also with a good, bright soul to it too. I mean, what do you expect from a talking baby movie? Whatever it is, this is probably the best of the bunch.
