There are ticklish moments, but no real laughs. Full Review |

|
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. Full Review |

Formulaic and deeply unfunny. Full Review |

|
The hokey dialogue and witless physical gags keep everything painful and hectoring. Full Review |

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. Full Review |
