AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

areatw 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.

Predrag 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.

A_Different_Drummer As any engineer will tell you, bumblebees are not aerodynamically sound, they should not be able to fly. But they do.This film is a single-premise, hi-concept, logline: the smartest person in the room is the newborn, and he "talks" to the audience.The reason why this is a classic (yes it is!) is the talent: Amy Heckerling, at her peak, when she was the "next big thing." Kirstie Alley, also at her peak, before she disappeared from theatrical releases and reappeared as a spokesperson for Weight Watchers Travolta at the peak of his "first career" (he had a second career 5 years later with Pulp Fiction, a second career that carried him into the next century, literally) And -- my fave -- Bruce Willis just before he exploded onto the big screen. If you do the "Hollywood math" (inside joke) you will conclude that this deal was cut and signed before the box office results of Die Hard were known. Die Hard of course sent him into the stratosphere and voice work would be secondary for him from this point on, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS GREAT AT IT. In fact one of my top films of all time, OVER THE HEDGE (2006) has Bruce in it.Fun flick. Much better than it sounds. MUCH

Michael_Elliott Look Who's Talking (1989) *** 1/2 (out of 4) Highly entertaining comedy centering on a single mother (Kirstie Alley) who plans on finding her son (voice of Bruce Willis) the perfect daddy after his real father refuses to have anything to do with him. She tries out a few men not realizing the relationship her son has started with the babysitter (John Travolta). The entire idea of this movie seems like a major mess so it really comes as a great shock to see how loving, caring and downright adorable the picture is. The idea of a single mom trying to find a father for a baby who we constantly get voice-overs from isn't the greatest story out there but the performances are so good, the laughs so big and the heart is in the right place and all of this really adds up to a rather special movie. A lot of the credit for the laughs has to go to Bruce Willis who does a very good job with the voice-overs. His comic timing is dead-on from start to finish but I think the most important thing was how child-like in nature he was. We've had dozens of movies that used voice-overs to try and get laughs but they usually fail because they either try too hard or the comedy is forced but that's never the case here because the work is done with such ease by Willis that you can't help but feel as if you're actually listening to how a real kid would think and talk. Alley is also very good in her part, although I'd probably argue that the screenplay could have toned down on some of her hard-edge because at times you start to question some of her character traits. Olympia Dukakis, George Segal and Abe Vigoda are all good in their small parts but I think the key to the film's success is the performance of Travolta. This was the GREASE stars first major role in years and it would also serve as his first comeback but of course the sequels would lead to his eventual fall before Tarantino rescued him once again. Either way, the performance here is so great that you really can't help but fall in love with his character. Travolta does a remarkable job at just being so adorable, so caring and so protective of the child that you want to see them together. Being a Travolta movie you can expect a dance sequence and how they pull it off here is incredibly fun and touching. Every single second of the movie is predictable from a scene where Travolta gives some "tips" to a guy looking to take Alley out to the ending but that really doesn't matter. Heart is a hard thing to get into any film let alone a comedy but this film really hits it out of the part. Mix in the terrific soundtrack and you've got a perfect little gem.
