Critics Consensus: Flat direction and actors who look embarrassed to be onscreen make Baby Geniuses worse than the premise suggests.

A thoroughly misguided, unfunny film.
There are ticklish moments, but no real laughs.
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.
The hokey dialogue and witless physical gags keep everything painful and hectoring.
If the remainder of this century will bring a lamer film than Baby Geniuses, may I please be in Estonia when it comes.
The movie is about as endearing as unanesthetized gum surgery.
A bad sit-com of a movie.
One completely unwatchable piece of bottom-feeding dreck.
Formulaic and deeply unfunny.
You can feel your brain rotting as you watch this.
A kiddie comedy that's about as entertaining as treating diaper rash
I'm still clawing out my eyes.
Terrible! The worst of could be in the filmography of Bob Clark. A low point in Christopher Lloyd carrer.
Super Reviewer
Without a doubt, this is one of the worst movies to have ever been made. To see Bob Clark's sanity decline over the years has been tragic to say the least, but this really puts him in a irreparable spot. When you take into account that he started with Black Christmas, this is even worse. There is nothing more annoying and overdone than talking babies. This has that and a plot revolving around intelligent talking babies. There is nothing, nothing redeeming about this movie. You can't even bask in the terrible nature of it because it is so alienating and humiliating.
I think I am the person in the world who may like this more than anyone, because every single person I ask despises this film, but I look at all the good things that could have been changed to make it good! In the end I laughed a few times, but never hated it!
"Baby Geniuses" is one of the biggest disappointments ever. From the previews, I thought "Baby Geniuses" was gonna be hilarious. But I was wrong. Only a couple of parts in the movie even made me grin. A relentless scientist (Kathleen Turner) keeps babies in order to do research on them. She wants to make it to where every baby from that point on will be a genius. Trouble arises when her smartest baby, Sly, gets away. Sly has a twin named Whit. Some of Kathleen Turner's employees kidnap Whit because they think it's Sly. Whit's father (Peter MacNicol) must try to understand what his daughter and Sly are trying to tell him in order to get Whit back. "Baby Geniuses" was a big disappointment. I was expecting it to be funny and entertaining. You would expect a movie that has talking babies and even a baby that can do karate to be hilarious, but not in this case. The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one is because it halfway kept me entertained. It's not the worst movie ever made, but it's one of the worst of the year. If you want to see a funny movie that features talking babies, I would recommend sticking with the "Look Who's Talking" series. NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2000. Can't believe they actually made a sequel to this terrible clunker...why would they?
