Heckerling directs this dippy but delightful film with a light, zany touch and a reasonably low yuck-factor (dribbles notwithstanding).

Reviews for Look Who's Talking
Cute is the operative word for the movie, which stars some good actors doing material that is not super.
05/20/03
Top CriticThis fairly unlikely idea for a movie turns into a warm and lovable comedy, although I still don't think it needed the voiceovers from the baby.
01/01/00
Top CriticThe audience around me found it funnier than I did; for me, Look Who's Talking is a one-joke movie that wears out its welcome rather quickly.
01/01/00
This is a great idea for a sketch, not a feature, and if Heckerling had resisted padding it out, it might have made a brilliant short. A comedy can ride only so far on high concept. It has to deliver the jokes, and this one doesn't.
01/01/00
Top CriticTravolta, you should know, has a dance scene. But it's not what you think.
01/01/00
Top CriticLike a standup comic pouring 'flopsweat', this ill-conceived comedy about an infant whose thoughts are given voice by actor Bruce Willis palpitates with desperation.
03/26/09
Top CriticThis flabby comedy ... deserves only one thing: to fall on its fat one.
05/12/01
Top CriticWith his sarcastic delivery, Willis has the ideal voice for the part. Alley and Travolta are affable enough, but the story itself is ordinary and merely passes time.
09/18/09
Hollywood movie-making at its most contrived and shallow.
09/18/09
surprisingly funny
04/18/05
Grating but surprisingly popular
10/19/04
Better than its sequels -- that's not saying much.
02/03/05
It's a gimmick, but it works.
12/27/03
Travolta merges into middle age in this surprisingly winning family comedy.
08/02/02
A cute movie that heralded the return of Travolta and unfortunately also spawned a franchise that would not die.
