adonis98-743-186503 After a single, career-minded woman is left on her own to give birth to the child of a married man, she finds a new romantic chance in a cab driver. Meanwhile, the point-of-view of the newborn boy is narrated through voice-over. Charming, cute and adorable 'Look Who's Talking' is a terrific little comedy with a baby overshadowing the main stars with being adorable and just hilarious smart. The 5.8 is really low and it's definitely an underrated film. (A+)

areatw I seem to be in a small minority of people who hated 'Look Who's Talking'. That's fine, but I really can't understand what people see in this film. It has a plot that goes nowhere, jokes that appear to have been written by 5 year olds, and of course, highly annoying talking babies.What irritates me most about dumb films like this is how some people try to make out that they're 'classics'. This movie is barely watchable it's so annoying, why on earth does it deserve to be held in the same regard as some of the best films of all time? 'Look Who's Talking' is exactly the sort of film I usually avoid, and I wish I had.

TheLittleSongbird Sure there may be some predictabilities in the story and one or two rushed scenes, but Look Who's Talking is a very charming and funny film and significantly better than its sequels. It looks very nice, has a good soundtrack and has some likable characters too. The script also has a lot of funny and somewhat quotable parts too.The direction is fine, as is the acting. Bruce Willis is perfect as the voice of Mikey, while John Travolta is equally wonderful with a great smile. And George Seagal comes very close to stealing the show as his character goes through a selfish phase.Overall, charming and funny. Nothing outstanding, but it was great to watch and I enjoyed it very much. 8/10 Bethany Cox

MisterWhiplash 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.
