Reviews for Baby Geniuses
The film is short -- so short that they tacked a sentimental little music video on the end and still it finishes in plenty of time for you to go find a real baby and appreciate the far more entertaining and exciting reality of babyhood.

Baby Geniuses is the best argument for stronger child labor laws since the Olsen twins.
01/01/00
Baby Geniuses' ramshackle plot serves merely as a launching pad for nearly two hours of jokes revolving around the idea of babies who talk and behave like bad stand-up comedians.
01/05/07
The target audience of Baby Geniuses is a mystery: the film is too inane for adults, too advanced for kids.
01/01/00
With the recent popularity of baby-themed shows, this film has perfect timing. Younger patrons will be drawn into the fantasy, while the humor is sufficient to keep adults interested.
06/05/02
The hokey dialogue and witless physical gags keep everything painful and hectoring.

Top CriticBad films are easy to make, but a film as unpleasant as Baby Geniuses achieves a kind of grandeur.

Top Critic..absolute cinematic torture; a maniacal insult to the foundation that humanity is made upon...
01/01/00
This is a film so completely bankrupt of ideas that the last few minutes are composed entirely of short clips from elsewhere in the film...as if anyone would want to relive this travesty, even in the form of bite-sized none sequiturs.

Story? Who cares. Character development? That's for show-offs. Funny dialogue? Too hard to write. These babies can talk!!

Bob Clark's direction has no zing. And for a frantic comedy, there's surprising lack of energy.
01/01/00
By the time the tiresome, surprisingly violent climax began, the last nail had already been hammered in this unfortunate film's coffin.

Sometimes it truly is shocking to witness how bad a movie can be. (And the sequel is even WORSE! How!?!)

You can feel your brain rotting as you watch this.

Thanks to computers, we have seen some dazzling special effects in films lately, but even the best medicines can have unwanted side effects.

You know, usually I expect the studios to dump all their cinematic turds in January but, man, it's March already and I'm still sitting through this stuff.
