Ghastly.
Top CriticExcruciating.
No worry about brainwashing kids through this movie, though. They probably won't be that entertained.
The action sequences are phony-looking; the dialogue sounds largely improvised on the fly; the laughs are few and far between; and the acting ... is, to put it kindly, wooden.
Whatever wit could be mined from the idea of breaking the code to baby talk was exhausted in the original Baby Geniuses five years ago.
The shtick is as stale and over-processed as expired Froot Loops, with references that were dated even when the original was released.
These babies need a time out.
Apart from Jon Voight, slumming and turning in a rather droll, if lonely, performance as the German-accented villain, the movie amounts to cynical, cutesy claptrap.
Why? Seriously, why?
Camp primer for the Huggies Pull-Ups crowd.
[It's] the sort of intellectually offensive children's movie one would make if one knew nothing about children.
Clark's CGI-induced rugrat romp is about as inspiring in its hilarity as a diaper rash. Exceedingly nonsensical and...excuse the intended pun-infantile
Like dadaist art, Baby Geniuses challenge the artist-audience contract: We *hear* the babies talking, but we clearly *see* that they aren't.
To call this immeasurably terrible movie 'stupid and nonsensical' would be an insult to stupid and nonsensical movies.
It is offensive on so many levels. First, let's just call SuperBabies what it is: child abuse.
You're not actually still reading about this stupid, crass, condescending, dreadful movie, are you?
Is there really a market of children out there that will find this funny or entertaining?
Best parental advice: if you had to take the kids to Garfield, you've already suffered enough this summer.
So many things about this movie are so, so wrong that it's almost right.
director Bob Clark and screenwriter Gregory Poppen don't shoehorn in nearly as much innuendo or smarminess this time around; they're equally stingy with charm and imagination.
Whoever gave this the green light should be spanked.
This is a film so thunderingly unfunny that it makes 'White Chicks' look like 'Blazing Saddles.'
What uncaring parent would waste their children's time taking them to see this nonsense? ... And what incriminating photos do the producers have of Jon Voight?
