Before long, problems arise when mischievous Sly, the smartest of the toddlers, escapes confinement, bent on uniting all babies to free those trapped in the laboratory. Now, Kinder and Heep must find Sly before it is too late.

what a great movie...what is wrong with this movie.I can tell you EVERYTHING.The actors are where in the wrong places.the script is very bad and the BABY GENIUSES ARE NOT VERY BRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I can talk about what is wrong about this movie for 10 days and after i can die. Or if you want to spend 95 minutes of your life watching baby geniuses,please be my guest.I don t want to stop you from making the worst decision of your life...And if you want to see this abomination against humanity...all that i can say is:MAY GOD HAVE MERCY. It is not a masterpiece,it s just a poor excuse for making a terrible movie...it s not for kids or adults

I don't know how movies could possibly be so bad. I think this is probably in my top ten of the worst movies ever. The jokes are lame, the acting is terrible, and the lip syncing is horrendous. I think they did a better job making the animals talk in the live action Jungle Book. There should've at least been some clever lines of humor to make up for the other crappy things in it, but that was nonexistent. It is so bad it makes one want to die while watching it. Christopher Lloyd is also pretty awful in it, and he's usually a pretty good actor. The director was obviously not caring about quality at all when he made this movie. He figured the kids who watched it would be as dumb as the script. But that isn't true, because ever since I was young I found this to be horrendous. This movie should be much farther than 80 on the Bottom 100. I'd say more like five.

Wow what an excellent movie!. I could not believe why it has been extremely under-rated. It is so amusing,funny and witty. Critics are sometimes narrow-minded and unfair in their reviews. Most kids all over the world will enjoy watching a fantastic comedy movie with superb action and great cinematography.Plot of Baby Geniuses: Two scientists, Dr. Elena Kinder (Kathleen Turner) and Dr. Heep (Christopher Lloyd), use genius-baby studies to fund BabyCo's theme park "Joyworld". According Dr. Kinder's Research, babies are supposed to possess vast, universal knowledge and speak a secret yet impossible-to-translate baby prelanguage called "Babytalk". At age two, however, the knowledge and language are lost as the babies "cross over" by learning how to talk. Most of the babies that were raised in Dr. Kinder's vast, underground research facility were adopted from the Pasadena orphanage, transformed into geniuses through use of the Kinder Method, and then used in experiments to decipher the language used by the baby-geniuses.One mischievous toddler, Sylvester (AKA Sly), makes repeated attempts to escape Dr. Kinder's research facility and one night, Sylvester goes into a dirty diaper truck and he actually succeeds. The next morning, one things Sylvester does not expect is to run into his twin, Whit, in a mall playground. Although Sylvester and Whit share a telepathic bond, they have no idea of each other's existence. While the guards from Dr. Kinder's research facility capture Whit, mistake him for Sylvester, and take him back to Dr. Kinder's research facility, Sylvester is taken home by Whit's adopted mother, Robin (Kim Cattrall), who is Dr. Kinder's niece. After Dr. Kinder is horrified that Whit and Sylvester switched at the mall, she decides to do a cross evaluation on Sylvester and Whit. However, when she comes to Dan Bobbin's place, she realizes that Dan Bobbin can understand babies. After the attempts to retrieve Sylvester fail, Dr. Kinder decides to move the research facility to Lichtenstein, so that they can transform Whit into becoming a genius thanks to him getting bred by the Kinder Method (thus erasing his memories about his foster parents, foster brothers and foster sisters) and use him as an experiment to crack the code to "Babytalk".The babies at Bobbin's place hypnotize Lenny (Dom DeLuise), the bus driver to drive to Dr. Kinder's research facility. Once at the research facility, Sylvester goes to the control room to set the robots from the theme park on the lab scientists. When the Bobbins return home, their natural daughter Carrie tells her father that the children are in Dr. Kinder's research facility. At the end of the fight Dr. Kinder captures Whit and takes him to the helicopter pad on the roof. Robin and Dan chase them to the roof, where Dr. Kinder reveals that she and Robin are not related, and that Robin was adopted at age two. After Dr. Kinder got arrested by the police, Sylvester and Whit come together on the roof to cross over.Dan and Robin adopt Sylvester. Dan is still curious of the secrets of life, but as the twins have crossed over they no longer know those secrets. Carrie, their sister, doesn't reveal anything (just gives her dad a sly smile) because adults aren't meant to know their secrets.Buy This DVD!. It is GREAT!

I have enjoyed (and reviewed) a lot of bad movies over the years. I have liked "Mesa of Lost Women", "Untamed Women", "Eegah!", "The Beast of Yucca Flats", and many others. These films have always had no-name casts, very low production values, and bad scripts. They're enjoyable in a "so-bad-it's-good" way."Baby Geniuses" is completely different. It has a big-name cast (including Kathleen Turner, Kim Cattrall, Dom DeLuise, and Christopher Lloyd), a pretty big budget (reportedly $12 million), and a well-known director, Bob Clark. With all those things going for it, this movie is definitely the worst I've ever seen. The script is incredibly bad, and involves evil Drs. Kinder and Heep (Turner and Lloyd) holding babies captive so that they can study baby communication and make big money for their evil corporation. I won't go into any more detail because, well, I'm not sadistic.Turner and Lloyd are not bad under the circumstances, but the story and script are so execrable that the actors don't really have a chance. The movie mostly consists of babies doing supposedly cute things, and the adult actors are left flailing around and trying to salvage this mess. After watching this, I began to wonder if this is the worst film I've seen since I started watching movies in 1960. "The Black Bird" (1975) came to mind, but that movie seems like Shakespeare compared to "Baby Geniuses".This film is so atrociously horrible that I don't think I can really adequately describe it here. Don't watch this movie, even if you're a fan of one of the cast. Trust me. I'm doing you a favor.
