Storyline

Dr. Elena Kinder and Dr. Heap work for BABYCO, the world's leading manufacturer in baby products. What the public doesn't know, however, is that Dr. Kinder and Dr. Heap are secretly working on cracking the code to "baby talk" which is actually a highly sophisticated language which allows babies to communicate the knowledge of the secrets of the universe with which they are born. Problems arise when Sly, the smartest of the babies, escapes from the lab and unites the babies of the outside world to help free the babies trapped in the lab. Kinder and Heap must find Sly before it is too late. Written by Anonymous

#1 Turkey of 1999
13 July 2004 | by (USA) – See all my reviews

I must admit that I don't like 'talking baby' movies. They're innately weird. This stupefying mess is the nadir of this tiny genre. Kathleen Turner has given some fine performances particularly in the 80's in very good films like "Body Heat", "Prizzi's Honor", "The Accidental Tourist" and "The War of the Roses". Christopher Lloyd has done well in films and on TV's 'Taxi'. So what they're doing in this moronic junk is anyone's guess. This was the worst film of 1999 and a top contender for the worst films of the decade. At least "Look Who's Talking" was good-natured and had a few laughs. "Baby Geniuses" is just two big spoonfuls of idiocy, peppered with ineptitude, on a plate of vapid nothingness. Zero of ****.
