Good Movie, for it's genre

Hey everybody, Christopher Aydon here, i played Mikey in the movie Look Who's Talkign years ago, i'd just like to give my feedback now that i'm old enough to appreciate this movie. Although I did not particularly like the movie, i believe that it was quite good compared to other movies of the same genre. Let's face it, movies about trying to raise a baby have been attempted time and time again and they're always a little disappointing. Although my opinion may be slightly biased towards this movie, as I acted in it, i do believe that there have been both better, and worse movies of the same basic principle. Thats about it for me, hope everyone enjoys my little movie.
