Look Who's Talking (1989) User Reviews

Charming

[Smells_Like_Cheese · 7/10 · 4 February 2004]

Look Who's Talking is such a great classic, one of my great memories of childhood, every weekend when I would go to my grandparent's place, they would let me pick a movie and we would watch it together, very often I would pick Look Who's Talking or Look Who's Talking Too, they were just such fun movies to watch and laugh at. When I grew up, I realized I hadn't seen the movie in so many years, but it was on TV the other day and I figured I would have a little blast from the past and watch it. You know what's strange about this movie? It's actually more for adults rather than the kids, but this became such a family friendly movie, but that's why many people say they don't make them like they used too, because writing where it is more aimed at the adults but it ends up being something that every age can enjoy is clever and this is one of the most fun movies of the 90's.

Mollie Jensen is an accountant living and working in New York City. The latest client she has been assigned by her firm is a charmingly-handsome but shallow womanizing executive named Albert who seduces her and although married embarks on an affair with Mollie, promising to leave his wife for her. Mollie becomes pregnant with his child. After realizing she is pregnant she informs Albert who takes the news well and again promises to leave his wife and raise the baby with her. Mollie continues her relationship with Albert as the pregnancy develops, however he's seeing another woman. Later when Mollie and her best friend Rona are shopping Mollie finds Albert in a clinch with the other woman. Angry and upset, a heart-broken Mollie storms off in a rage while the fight causes her to suddenly go into labor. When she hails a cab the driver James Ubriacco realizes the seriousness of the situation and speeds off to the hospital. Upon reaching the hospital, the nurses' confuse him for being the father of Mollie's baby and he feels inclined to stay. Mollie gives birth to a son she names Michael. A few days after "Mikey" is brought home, Mollie receives a visit from James, where he returns the purse she left behind in his taxi. James meets Mikey, and they seem to enjoy each others company. Mollie starts dating again, but quickly realizes that none of the men she has been seeing are good enough for Mikey and one night she lets her guard down and almost sleeps with James; however after imagining what life would be like if she married him, she asks him to leave, despite James telling her he loves both her and Mikey.

Look Who's Talking is a charming movie that I'm sure won't disappoint you, it's cute, romantic, funny, and has a great cast. It's a realistic look at what happens with unplanned pregnancy and John Travolta's character, James, becomes the ultimate and unexpected hero of the movie. I hope that I meet a guy like James one day, he was just so lovable. I also adored Bruce Willis' voice, he was a perfect fit for Mikey. Kristy Alley, she plays the crazy mother, but you see all that her character goes through and you just feel awful for her. This is such a great movie, I highly recommend it if you get the chance to see it, it's a great classic.

7/10

Sweet if predictable one-joke comedy

[gridoon2024 · 6/10 · 3 December 2017]

"Look Who's Talking" was a box-office smash, mostly for the gimmick of the audience being able to hear the baby's inner thoughts. This gimmick, and some amusing fantasy sequences, help carry an otherwise ordinary and predictable story, though it does run out of steam. John Travolta gets to play a charming goofball, Kirstie Alley is in her prime, and Bruce Willis does some good voice work. It's strange: the film is pretty raunchy for "family entertainment", but it would have been funnier if it was even raunchier - which, of course, would cost it an R rating and a decrease in family tickets. **1/2 out of 4.

I may not have loved this movie, but i will never forget it.

[azetkhataieva · 7/10 · 21 May 2019]

I have got to admit that i have wanted to watch this movie for a long time just because of John Travolta (who i adore in "Grease" and "Two of a Kind") and when i saw "Look who is Talking" available in Netflix i never wasted any time. But damn how awesome the performances by Travolta and especially by Kirstie Alley were delivered, and this one did feel like a romantic comedy...but with a very special baby involved in the middle.

Bruce Willis way of dubbing Mikey was hilarious, and i found myself laughing out loud many times because of it. I didn't know babies could be this sassy!

LOVE this movie

[spewey07 · 27 July 2011]

Look Who's Talking is one of my favourite "feelgood" movies - the kind you watch when you just want to sit back, laugh, and not have to think too much.

Kirstie Alley plays Mollie, a 30-something accountant who finds herself pregnant by her sleazy married boyfriend (played annoyingly well by George Segal). After he abandons her for yet another mistress, she meets James (John Travolta), the cabbie who drives her to the hospital when she goes into labour.

The story that follows is par for the romantic comedy course - James falls in love with both mother and baby, while Mollie (at least initially) only sees him as a platonic friend and babysitter/surrogate father figure for son Mikey. She searches relentlessly for a suitable father for the child - dating a series of losers and even briefly attempting a reconciliation with Mikey's bio-dad. It takes her awhile, but she finally realizes that the right man has been right under her nose the whole time.

Bruce Willis is a hoot as the voice of baby Mikey - and the little boys who play Mikey are suitably adorable. The soundtrack music is fantastic, featuring the likes of Janis Joplin, The Beach Boys, and the Talking Heads.

Alley and Travolta have amazing on-screen chemistry, whereas Alley and Segal have virtually none - which, of course, is the whole point. Olympia Dukakis also has some funny scenes as Alley's meddling mom; as does Abe Vigoda as Travolta's senile grandpa.

Alley's character Mollie may be a bit unsympathetic at first - she is, after all, the "other woman" in an extramarital affair. But before long, you find yourself rooting for her to find true love and a father for her son. The movie is not perfect - it has it's share of flaws. But overall, there's not much to dislike. It's just plain fun to watch. A definite thumbs-up.

Historical film

[sergelamarche · 7/10 · 27 January 2018]

A light comedy funny enough and special effects in utero that still hold on today. Cute film, kid and Kristie! The boy was Bruce Willis? Oh, just the voice. ouf! Travolta was flying in the film. What's not to like?

High art? No. Charming? Yep.

[Mr-Fusion · 7/10 · 22 September 2022]

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.

Why would he have John Travolta's smile?

[TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews · 5/10 · 27 October 2007]

Who was this film made for? Can't be the kids, as much as they might enjoy all of the, albeit not really visually graphic, gross-out comedy, seeing as how there are some fairly intimidating sequences throughout(and the language isn't exactly child-proof, either, though it could be worse). The focus is entirely on the single mother and her child, so few men will(willingly) watch. No, this seems to have been made explicitly for the group that the main character belongs to, 30-something single mothers who, in spite of being smart, make stupid decisions(which will annoy women not in that group, I would guess). I watched this for the first time in years, and it's really almost sad how little of it I remembered or recognized. The plot, I suppose, isn't awful, and realistic enough(disregarding the entire premise of the child "talking"), but it does seem like they merely made up just enough to bring it to 90 minutes, and to tie together the various scenes of the toddler in situations that such would find themselves in, with Bruce Willis doing a voice of what the kid might be thinking/trying to say(well, at least it's not as bad as Garfield, where sometimes, Jon seems to understand the Tabby perfectly, whereas others, he isn't picking up anything but the fact that his lazy pet is trying to communicate), so that the whole movie wasn't just of that(that would have been unbearable, even Hollywood couldn't have asked that of human beings). The humor usually doesn't work. There was maybe one brief point I found amusing, and that was it. The joke of every bit that has Willis doing the voice is that as far back as the womb(which we get a visual of... because that's what we movie-goers are just *dying* to see), our offspring are intelligent, well-spoken... really, the only thing Mikey isn't shown to have, for obvious reasons, is experience. The instances of him talking will amuse some, but once that wears off, you'll find that it's really not funny. At all. The film plods along, at a pace that at times almost seems like a psychological experiment... "how much will the viewers take, before they stop watching", with the occasional nightmare. Good pieces of music are used in the movie, where the choice of that particular song is downright frighteningly obvious. And this got two sequels and a TV show. I recommend this to those who find themselves in the group for which this film was intended... whatever it is. 5/10

This is a real time capsule...

[AlsExGal · 6/10 · 2 June 2021]

... mainly because Bruce Willis' voice over the baby just making random mouth movements would actually be outdated in just a few more years. Also, the attitude towards single motherhood dates it too.

Director Amy Heckerling took her experiences with having her own daughter and used it to come up with the screenplay.

Kirstie Alley plays Mollie, an accountant who is having a long term affair with a married client, Albert, who keeps claiming he is going to leave his wife but of course has no intention of doing so, even if he doesn't know it. When Mollie becomes pregnant she decides to keep the baby, and Albert seems delighted. Even if that doesn't crow-bar him from his wife.

On the day she goes into labor she finds out Albert is cheating on her with somebody else. She resolves from that point forward to only date men who would make good fathers, regardless of how boring and nondescript that they might be. But it turns out that the short bald guys can be just as grabby and boorish as the good looking ones. But still the search continues. And then she finds herself falling for the cabbie that took her to the hospital, the rather goofy impulsive James (John Travolta), a guy who doesn't check any of her "good father material" boxes. Meanwhile, the baby is the smartest and most observant person in the room.

This film never goes very deep below the surface - it is primarily a slapstick comedy with moments of poignance. But watching it again, the dating of it really comes through. A doctor who tries to influence a pregnant woman to have her baby? Seriously? Giving your parents some song and dance about how you were artificially inseminated that involves a "frozen pop" rather than admit that, in your early 30s, you had sex? Still, if you are a woman who found yourself single into your 30s and kissed more than your fair share of frogs, some of this is going to ring true, baby or no baby.

A funny film targeted to women

[rebeljenn · 5/10 · 18 January 2006]

'Look Who's Talking' is a pretty creative and original film in its presentation. (It's told from the story of a baby, and the story focuses on the relationship between the baby's mother and the men in her life.) Surprisingly, it is a pretty funny film in its own way, even if it is riddled with that 1980s style. This is coming from a female who does not traditionally enjoy romantic comedies. That said, I think that this is a film for those readers who enjoy romantic comedies and films involving in-your-face babies with adult-like views on the world and society. I think that the film will make most people laugh, even though it is not a great film.

Look Who's Talking: 7/10

[movieguy1021 · 7/10 · 9 October 2002]

Most people remember John Travolta in his Grease days. And now he's doing stuff like Battlefield Earth and Lucky Numbers. But here's an in-between Travolta vehicle that delivers laughs steadily throughout.

Travolta plays James Ubriacco, a cab driver in New York. Kirstie Alley is Mollie, an accountant who is having an affair with a married man, Albert (George Segal), who is currently getting a divorce from his wife. Things couldn't be better...until Albert gets her pregnant.

Mollie is fine for awhile (at least as fine as a pregnant woman can be), but then she sees Albert smooching someone else, and that's when she goes into labor. James the cab driver takes her to the hospital (where a witty spoof of The Exorcist takes place) so that her baby boy, Mikey, can be born. Mikey's hilarious voice is by Bruce Willis. Actually, we just he him think, but it's still very funny.

James starts to come around more often, and eventually becomes Mikey's babysitter. The rest of the plot revolves around Mikey growing up and wondering about what it's like to have a "daddy". He wants James to be his since they spend so much time together, but Mollie goes and dates other people. It was (oh, I hate using this word in reviews) cute, charming and witty. Obviously it was predictable, but what would you expect?

I enjoyed Travolta in this role, he seemed to enjoy himself. Alley was fine, as a woman who knew what she was doing. Director Amy Heckerling has made herself known to me, and I enjoy her movies. There are a couple dry spots without laughs, but they didn't matter to me.

My rating: 7/10

Rated PG-13 for language, sexual humor/content, and baby nudity.

What about classics like this?

[chrismulkeyisgod · 1/10 · 30 December 2006]

This movie stars talking babies...

But other than that the entire premise of this movie struck me as being more than a little dubious. This movie seemed to glamorize Section 8 single moms and made successful corporate tycoons seem like they are occasionally unfaithful to their spouses. Remembering McCarthyism all too well, this makes me wonder which side of the aisle the film makers were on... As a side, however, The computer graphics in this movie were amazing, but I didn't let the eye candy fool me into forgetting my core values. Hollywood can't tell me what to think, unless it has an awesome ending like Independence Day. The Musical score was also excellent. I didn't catch who did it because I was so displeased with the film itself during the credits, but kudos to whomever was involved!

I was confused why no one seemed to notice that Mikey could talk. This made me think that the movie would have a "Sixth Sense" kind of ending where we would find out that Mikey was actually dead the entire time which is why no one could hear him (but it didn't end this way, instead James and THE WELFARE QUEEN fell in love). I think this may have been the precursor to Baby's Day Out (which I haven't seen yet, but I've played the game Baby's Day Out on NES...very challenging...)

Charming film

[jetkot · 9/10 · 4 January 2019]

John Travolta is very charming in this film.The chemistry between John and Kristie is fabulous. They both look great together. The director captures the best expressions of the baby.. Bruce Willis does well with the voice over. A nice feel good film

Almost perfect but misses the mark

[MakeItRainn · 7/10 · 7 September 2019]

Amy Heckerling teeters on developing a true cinematic master piece. Alley and Travolta deliver an inspiring performance all of which is supplemented with the quirky and always funny voice-overs from Bruce Willis as Mikey. The film is almost perfect to me, but it was lacking in one element. The lack of presence of any werewolves, whatsoever, in this film is truly disheartening in what would otherwise be a timeless classic. Eager in anticipation watching this film, I was long awaiting the Travolta, werewolf transformation scene. This scene would never come. There were clear opportunities for this during night time scenes where Heckerling had a golden opportunity to write in a full moon sequence but this was unfortunately lost in translation. Given the comical voice-overs from Willis as Mikey, it would have been exponentially superior if we would have had a voice over from Travolta as the Werewolf. The potential gold mine of the introspection of a werewolf would have been a truly novel experience. To truly understand the full character arc of the werewolf transformation was my life's dream and it was crushed by Heckerling. My general understanding is I watched the theatrical version of the film but it dawned on me that there may have been an extended/unrated version, one which may have contained considerably more werewolves, by considerably more, I would quantify this as no less than two werewolves in totality, one of which would be the protagonist werewolf and another werewolf which would have been the arch-nemesis werewolf who is physically superior in every way to the protagonist werewolf but would inevitably be defeated by the protagonist werewolf (Travolta?) in probably the finale of 4th or 5th sequel to the film. Ultimately, I have to give this film a 7 out of 10 due to a lack of werewolves, the only saving grace is the talking baby which borderline nearly as terrifying as the presence of a werewolf to be fair.

Good comedy with a sexy performance from Kirstie Alley.

[Brian-272 · 5/10 · 23 June 2001]

I just watched this movie for the first time last night on TBS and I must say I loved it! The story is great and also very funny. The concept of a talking baby and the whole plot centered around the world of a baby is just great and funny! Bruce Willis does a great job as the voice of the baby, the performances from John Travolta and Kirstie Alley are just great. Once Kirstie has the baby the search for the right dad goes on and on only to end up being the funny and nice New York cab driver (John Travolta). The performance from Kirstie Alley ranks as maybe her best ever she is not only charming, but very sexy as well. The sexy scene I like of Kirstie is when she starts to make love with Travolta, and I noticed that lovely and light colored purple bra she is wearing now I just love that color purple! Look Who's Talking is a great movie watch if you haven't for a great mixture of laughter, charm, and sex appeal.

Take a Look.

[tfrizzell · 3 July 2002]

Smart little comedy that expresses what a young baby is thinking (voiced by Bruce Willis) throughout its running time. Likeable performances from Kirstie Alley, John Travolta, George Segal and Olympia Dukakis add to the sometimes mediocre screenplay and unsteady direction. The clever idea though, which is very original, carries the film and makes it a funny and entertaining experience. 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Good movie and much better than the sequels(some spoilers)

[lesleyharris30 · 7/10 · 19 July 2010]

Look Whos Talking is a good movie,its not fantastic its not a laugh out loud ninety minutes of comedy gold but its good and its much better than the the sequels Look Whos Talking Too and Look Whos Talking Now and I thought John Travolta did a brilliant performance as James and doing the voice of the baby Mikey as hes talking in his head and thinks that the adults understand him.

A woman has an affair with a married man and decides that its wrong and breaks it up although the man doesn't want to end it,she then finds out a few days later at the hospital that he got her pregnant,but she hates him and doesn't want him to see the child when hes born and pretends to people that she got pregnant by freezing sperm.

When she gets into a taxi her water breaks and she gets the taxi driver to take her to the hospital(taxi driver named James played by John Travolta),when the baby's born she tries tries to find the perfect dad for her son Mikey (voiced by John Travolta) while Mikey provides wisecracking commentary,when she goes on the dates she gets James to babysit and Mikey starts to think that hes his dad.

Another movie you could only get away with in the 80's

[tastyhotdogs · 6/10 · 27 January 2006]

In 1989 this was like the hugest movie ever. Haven't seen it for a long time, which frustrates me because daytime movies are littered with movies you've never heard of with ridiculous titles like "Sudden Betrayal" or "Fatal Death". What about classics like this? The movie revolves around Mikey (voiced by Bruce Willis, in some of his finest work, right up there with "Moonlighting" and "Die Hard With A Vengeance"). Mikey can talk, but only in his head (huh?). Mikey's mum Mollie (Kirstie Alley before the Jenny Craig times) struggles to raise Mikey plus hold a relationship with a man. That is until James (John Travolta, in the early days of his revival, although starring in this has to be a major asterisk on his career) comes along. James wants to be a good partner and is great with Mikey.

Poplular in it's day, but I bet it's aged by now.

Look who is puking.

[Aaron1375 · 3/10 · 6 May 2003]

That would be me. I just can't stand these types of movies where you hear the movie from a baby's perspective. Well I guess this trilogy is the only movies that do that. This movie for the most part, for me, wasn't very funny. The only character worth a few laughs in this one was George Segals character as he has some scenes that were capable of making me chuckle. All in all though this story of a mother and her son just is awful. Too much cutesy stuff in it, but then what do you expect from a movie with a baby on the cover? Travolta plays a taxicab driver/pilot and really isn't very good here and Kristie Alley is the mother of Mickey the baby voiced by Bruce Willis.

Charming

[MovieFan983 · 6/10 · 30 December 1998]

This was a sweet, enjoyable smash hit, that was entertaining, and very sweet. Bruce Willis is great as little Mikey, and everyone else in the movie is good too. I give this movie a 7.5 out of 10. Rated PG-13 for sexual/crude humor, thematic elements, and language.

Is it a talking baby flick, or a single-mother-needs-husband flick for adults?

[Ben_Cheshire · 1/10 · 14 October 2004]

This seems to be directly targeting two completely polarised demographics in completely separate scenes of the film. As opposed to the junky sequels, which are sickly-sweet corn strictly for kids, there is such a stark contrast between the adult scenes and the kids scenes that, watching it as an adult viewer now, it seems like a completely different flick than when i was watching it as a kid.

And it works for kids - i remember enjoying it - but adults won't help be confused by the sex jokes from Bruce Willis as the internal voice of the baby (which go completely over children's heads, i can tell you), and the whole talking baby thing, which dominates the movie a whole lot less than Kirstie Alley's single mother in search of a daddy plot.

Its a kind of useless gimmick. Its not like in What Women Want where these internal voices we're hearing can actually have an effect on the narrative: here the baby is completely impotent, can't express its views to the outside world, and is completely irrelevant to the action.

Its strange that a movie which is widely considered a kids or family movie should, on closer examination, seem more like a twenty-somethings flick about womanhood and motherhood. And even stranger still how popular it seems to be with the kiddies. Heck, if the kiddies love it, what's more to say?

Light entertainment

[gcd70 · 6/10 · 27 January 2007]

This film from director Amy Heckerling was originally meant to be a romantic comedy, without the voice-overs. The producers did not like the finished product, so they came up with the idea of having Mikey talk, and probably saved the picture.

Bruce Willis does a great job with the voice in what would have been a very drab, and somewhat confused, picture. Most of the antics are fun, but Willis' one-liners save the day. Kirstie Alley and John Travolta are a good pairing in the lead roles.

I am glad I caught this one on video (some 16 years ago) and did not bother catching it at the movies. Only fair entertainment.

Annoying and stupid

[adamonIMDb · 3/10 · 7 August 2017]

I seem to be in a small minority of people who hated 'Look Who's Talking'. That's fine, but I really can't understand what people see in this film. It has a plot that goes nowhere, jokes that appear to have been written by 5 year olds, and of course, highly annoying talking babies.

What irritates me most about dumb films like this is how some people try to make out that they're 'classics'. This movie is barely watchable it's so annoying, why on earth does it deserve to be held in the same regard as some of the best films of all time? 'Look Who's Talking' is exactly the sort of film I usually avoid, and I wish I had.

Charming and funny

[TheLittleSongbird · 8/10 · 2 August 2010]

Sure there may be some predictabilities in the story and one or two rushed scenes, but Look Who's Talking is a very charming and funny film and significantly better than its sequels. It looks very nice, has a good soundtrack and has some likable characters too. The script also has a lot of funny and somewhat quotable parts too.

The direction is fine, as is the acting. Bruce Willis is perfect as the voice of Mikey, while John Travolta is equally wonderful with a great smile. And George Seagal comes very close to stealing the show as his character goes through a selfish phase.

Overall, charming and funny. Nothing outstanding, but it was great to watch and I enjoyed it very much. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Wait for milk time!

[PredragReviews · 6/10 · 6 April 2017]

Look Who's Talking is the definition of Hollywood mediocrity. From the acting to the script, the soundtrack to the visual look of the movie, everything shouts average. Hell, even Kirstie Alley managed to maintain an average weight for the duration. This isn't to say the movie isn't funny because it is, but aside from a few one liners by Mikey (voiced by Bruce Willis) we never really get anything that makes you want to laugh out loud which is a real shame considering the potential of the situations in the movie. If you want a movie that will let you chill out and relax, whilst being instantly forgettable, this is it.

Overall rating: 6 out of 10.

Look Who's Talking

[jboothmillard · 5/10 · 26 May 2018]

I had heard the title of this movie a few times, I knew it was about a talking baby, I knew one or two of the stars, and I knew it followed with two not as good sequels, so I finally got to trying it when I got the opportunity, directed by Amy Heckerling (Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Clueless). Basically in New York, career-minded accountant Mollie Jensen (Kirstie Alley) has an affair with her client, executive Albert (George Segal), a womaniser who is a married with two children. When Mollie becomes pregnant, she and Albert keep their indiscretion secret, under the idea that she was artificially inseminated, Albert says he will leave his wife and two children for her. But then he is caught fooling around with his interior designer Melissa (Joy Boushel), Mollie leaves upset, and immediately goes into labour. She gets into a taxi, driver James Ubriacco (John Travolta) speeds through the city to get to the hospital in time, and inadvertently becomes witness to the birth of Mollie's son. The baby is named Michael, or "Mikey", and ever since his conception, he has been making commentary on his life, he interacts with everything through an inner wisecracking voice (Bruce Willis), which he also uses to communicate with other babies. Hoping to get her life back on track, Mollie becomes a dedicated single mother, rejecting several men in a search to find a new father figure, dismissing them for quirks that may reflect badly on Mikey. Mollie meets James again, he has moved into the apartment building in order to find his grandfather Vincent (Abe Vigoda) a nice care home, she occasionally asks him to babysit. There is an instance where she takes the baby to the airport, where James is a part-time pilot, she takes a nap, Mikey is taken by James, she into a panic thinking he has been kidnapped. A year passes, Mikey has grown a little, James realises his feelings for Mollie, he deliberately sabotages one of her dates, she also realises the bond between him and Mikey, she decides to give him a chance. James has found his grandfather a care home, he takes Mollie to flying lessons, she realises she is falling for him, but when they become intimate, she imagines their life together and resists, then James tells her he loves her, but she says she wants what is best for Mikey and kicks him out. Back at work, Mollie's boss insists she and Albert work together, Albert wants to see Mikey, she agrees, but when he visits, he meets James and they get into an argument. James asks Mollie if she loves Albert, she claims she does not know, James suggests he is closest thing to a father Mikey has. But Mollie tells him that he is like a big kid and is not responsible enough to be a father, James calls her out for using Mikey to push men away including himself and he storms out. At the playground, Mikey talks to other children, they tell him what "daddies" are, he realises he wants James as his daddy, James later comes to the apartment to tell Mikey he will not be around anymore, Mollie overhears him pouring his heart out on the baby monitor, Mikey says he will miss James too. Mollie takes Mikey to the office for Albert to meet him, but he claims he does not want the responsibility of being a father, Mollie realises he has not changed, she and Mikey ruin several pieces of furniture before storming out, putting Albert out of their lives for good. Mollie receives a call from Vincent's care home, telling her that's James's grandfather is disruptive and abusive to staff, she helps to clear up the error with involving a stash of chocolate given to him. James arrives, and he and Mollie make up, meanwhile Mikey wanders off on his own, searching for James, he is taken away in a car while Mollie and James frantically search for him. Mollie and James eventually spot him and give chase, until Mikey is standing in the middle of heavy traffic, James and Mollie take him to safety, where Mikey unofficially asks James to be his father by saying his first word "dada". James and Mollie realise that Mikey already sees James as his father, they decide to give it a chance, kissing passionately, while Mikey decides to wait to tell them he needs a diaper change, and nine months later, Mollie gives birth to a baby daughter Julie (voiced by Joan Rivers), who makes her first wisecracking comment. Also starring Olympia Dukakis as Rosie, Christopher Aydon as Mikey (age 2 years), Jacob Haines as Mikey (age 1 year), Jaryd Waterhouse as Mikey (age 6 months), Jason Schaller as Mikey (fetus-newborn) and Twink Caplan as Rona. Travolta had only one or two passable films before this one, most others were flops, this brought him back into the limelight (five years before Pulp Fiction made him massive), Alley is likeable, she and Travolta are a pleasant couple, despite her not realising he is the right guy all along, it is Willis that gets the best lines throughout the movie, making baby-based gags. It is a fairly clever concept, a wisecracking baby only heard by the audience, it is predictable in terms of the story itself, but I can see I suppose why it became a hit movie, hence spawning the daft sequels, all in all, an amusing and fun enough comedy. Worth watching!
