    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      According to Kirstie Alley in her memoir, she fell in love with John Travolta during filming, but she stayed faithful to her husband.
    • Goofs
      In the cab, on the way to the hospital, Mollie shouts that her water just broke and James looks back apparently seeing a mess, but when she gets to the hospital, her overalls are perfectly dry with no evidence of her water breaking.
    • Quotes

      James: Are you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?

      Mikey: Yeah. Lunch!

    • Crazy credits
      After Pete Townshend's "Let My Love Open the Door" finishes playing, the remainder of the end credits have absolutely no other music or audio playing during them.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK cinema version was cut by the BBFC to remove one use of the word 'fuck' during the childbirth scene. This was restored to all later releases.

    High art? No. Charming? Yep.

    If genial is what you're after, then look no further. "Look Who's Talking" adds a maternity twist to the rom-com that, along with Heckerling's wit, makes this an altogether pleasing movie, even if you're not always keen on the subgenre.

    This was clearly written from experience and it made a pile of money, so it's doing something right. But the movie's best feature, its ace-in-the-hole, is Bruce Willis, using his persona to lend adult humor to an infant. On paper, it's nuts, but it totally works.

    "Look Who's Talking" is fluff, but it's well made, no question.

    And while we're on the subject, picture this: you just made the king of action movies, you've got 5 mil in the bank, what's your next move?

    Voicing a baby.

    '80s Bruce was really somethin' I yell ya.
