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

This is really bad.
15 March 2005 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I can freely say, without reservation, that this movie is simply dreadful. It is among the worst out there, and I have seen some pretty bad films.

The whole premise is cretinous and it is executed very, very poorly. The acting, along with everything else, is terrible and the "humour," such as it is, is mostly moronic. There are occasional flashes that try to approach slightly entertaining humour, but overall it is all so cretinous and poorly done that that it is not even funny. The result is excruciatingly tedious. Even as a kids' film it is worthless.

I can't imagine why Christopher Lloyd, normally so good, would have done this film. But, even the greatest actors sometimes get involved in utterly terrible films.
