This is one of the most legendary bad movies ever made. It's become iconic with how terrible it is. The good news is that at least it isn't worse than what most people say. The downside is that that's still very low. There was ONE good joke in this movie about how they make the police come to Babyco and that's IT. This was made by the director of "A Christmas Story" and it just so happens this one takes place around Christmas too. This movie tells the story about these evil scientists who discover that babies have their own language. After awhile, they "cross over" and lose all of their genius. The most insane thing is that there is one scene where a baby is actually able to speak intelligible English as babies apparently know every language out there or somewhere. A main conflict is that they can't talk to their parents, even though they SHOWED that they could speak the same language as adults! Babies are apparently also able to hypnotize adults in their sleep. You have to admit that is completely stupid.In about six minutes, they literally say "Diaper gravy" four times and there is absolutely no variant said at all. This is easily the worst movie for Channel Awesome Month and it's a shame it came out shortly after "The Big Lebowski". That's a better movie to show to your kids and that has over 200 f-bombs in it! There's like six minutes of nothing but babies just jumping around as they are apparently training. There's a baby that wanders onto the road with cars and nobody notices, yet when the baby wears a disguise on the street, somehow everyone notices him. It's hard to even believe this movie even exists, as I couldn't see how anyone would ever find this entertaining. 1/2*

All of the copies of these films should be banned worldwide for obvious pedophilia, the creator should be arrested for his child prawn scam, and everyone who signed on to this, including the actors and VFX studios (somehow, this dam-brainaged pervert got the same studio that did INDEPENDENCE DAY to do the VFX for this first installment) should be COMPLETELY ASHAMED of this because they worked for a guy who is basically the real world equivalent of the old geezer from Family Guy and didn't even know it. I am boycotting IMDb until all of the 10 star votes and reviews are permanently removed from the site. If all of what I said does not happen until New Years 2018, I am going to Start a petition on Change Dot Org, forcing IMDb to do something about Hollywood's biggest pedophile since Roman Polanski.

YIKES. There is nothing good or likable in this whole film. Nothing. There is something so painful about bad comedy. When a movie tries to be funny, but is terrible at it, it makes you HURT. Baby Geniuses hurts.Let's start with the premise: Babies who are 'geniuses'. Well, there's your first problem. Babies are not smart. "Oh, but you just have to be imaginative and have suspension of disbelief" Blah, blah, blah, suspend yourself over a gorge, you supporter of horrible films. I'm the kind of person who can enjoy a ridiculous premise. I loved Babe, and I readily accepted the premise of sentient farm animals. Do not tell me that I'm just too cynical to appreciate a goofy movie. No, the problem lies in centering your movie around the idea that not only do babies speak perfect English to each other, not only are they incredibly smart, not only can they flip around and do stunts, but they forget it all when they turn two. Freaking HUH?!? That makes no sense. It doesn't even make MOVIE sense. And the whole nudge-wink at the audience that babies just keep up the pretense around adults- OH PLEASE. So, babies crap their pants, wander around blank-faced into furniture, and obsessively chew on my hair or car keys every time I'm around, but they're secretly super-duper smart ninjas? No.Another problem with this should be readily obvious to anyone who respects acting: Babies cannot act. It's at best awkwardly cute. But, in most movies (especially GOOD movies), scenes with children are minimal and designed with a children's limitations in mind. The audience will tolerate a few seconds of little Billy reading off his cue card before running off the stage back to his mother, and everyone can go back to enjoying the scene. But this is a movie of nothing but that! So while the movie is trying to set up these kid characters as smug, intelligent, witty spies, all anyone with half a brain is seeing is awful CG mouths and lame dubbed in lines pasted over a drooling, completely-oblivious toddler. It's not cute or funny.And the terrible computer effects are one of the many things that makes this movie INCREDIBLY dated. Remember how awkwardly shoe-horned special effects were into every 90's film? Baby Geniuses seems to be an exercise in studios pandering to people who are so amused by special effects, that it doesn't matter how poorly done they are. The baby effects are TERRIBLE. The mouths just kind of wriggle around out of place on the babies faces, and all of the "action" scenes look about as real as the spaceships in Plan 9 From Outer Space. I have a vehement loathing for the scene that was quite obviously created to be put in EVERY TRAILER: the Saturday Night Fever parody where one of the babies disco dances in the trademark white suit. Not once do the body or face of this character seem like they have any connection to each other whatsoever. It's not well done, it's not funny, it's just lazy and can't even pull off a cheap laugh correctly.As for the script? I'm going to be as lazy as the screenwriters for this one: It sucked and was bad and I hate it.This movie was made to cash in on one of the most easy to pander to groups imaginable: Families. When you have kids, your sense of humor turns to crap. Yes, I know all of you are already arguing, but kindly stop. To an extent, I understand why people (especially moms) suddenly become unfunny after you have kids: They take over your life, and all that is in it. For a time, you will be forced to watch what they watch, listen to the jokes they tell, and generally alter the way you talk and behave around them. That's just a part of being a parent. It's only logical that after being exposed to all of their content you would eventually build a tolerance to it, maybe even develop an appreciation for it. Maybe some of you were unfunny to begin with. But there it is.Baby Geniuses was made for families. Specifically, the average, unfunny ones that find only the most bland, dated, and cutesy crap enjoyable. Every joke and moment was crafted for them. This movie is basically every thing my grandmother would find hilarious. I could practically imagine her excitedly repeating the repulsive "diaper gravy" """joke""" and thinking it's hysterical. The Austin Powers quote made me want to send every network consultant to bottom of the ocean. It so perfectly encapsulates what this film is. It's a template for every "funny" scene in this horrible film: Baby does something babies do not normally do + probably a baffled adult somewhere + baby uses slang or quotes something currently famous. The Austin Powers joke doesn't even make sense within the context of the scene, they just threw it in there because oh look, the baby is talking like Austin Powers, isn't that just hilarious????? To sum up. This movie has mom humor, it's not well made, and anyone giving it ten stars should not be trusted EVER. And no, I'm not just saying that because I only like "mature" films with violence. I LIKE a lot of kids media. I think babies are adorable when they AREN'T being scripted to be so. Hell, I have LaLa-freaking-loopsy on my DVR right now. So don't tell me I'm just a grumpy adult who can't stand innocence and silly fun. I just can't stand movies made with such calculated marketing as this, and so poorly done to boot.If you want to see an enjoyable kid-friendly movie, watch Babe. Or Toy Story. Or Willy Wonka. Mrs. Doubtfire. Harry Potter. Or really ANYTHING BUT THIS MOVIE. There ARE kid-friendly movies out there, and some of them ARE well-made. It doesn't have to be a trade-off, I promise.

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!
