A Disappointing Continuation

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

A film with a plot like this one was surely going to fail unless it was in the right hands. Then you see that John Hughes is involved and you think it might, just might not be such a disaster.Sadly it is.They can put the baby in as many daft situations as they like, they can use special effects until they're blue in the face, but you can't get around the fact that the farce here is laboured, the situation is daft, and it all ends up being a right mess.This was not one of John Hughes's better films.

Baby Bink couldn't ask for more; he has adoring (if somewhat sickly- sweet) parents, he lives in a huge mansion, and he's just about to appear in the social pages of the paper. Unfortunately, not everyone in the world is as nice as Baby Bink's parents; especially the three enterprising kidnappers who pretend to be photographers from the newspaper. Successfully kidnapping Baby Bink, they have a harder time keeping hold of the rascal, who not only keeps one step ahead of them, but seems to be more than a little bit smarter than the three bumbling criminals. Baby's Day out is an underrated masterpiece and i can't believe it that it has such a low score here in IMDb it has some amazing scenes that made me laugh like crazy for example the scene in the Zoo was amazing or even the climax in the building. Joe Mantegna, Brian Haley and Joe Pantoliano are amazing and their basically like Marv and Harry from the first 2 Home Alone Movies i mean the whole plot of the film is like Home Alone 2 but instead of 2 thieves we have 3 and instead of a 10 year-old we have a cute little baby that gives an amazing performance also Lara Flynn Boyle was pretty great too. This film is Nostalgia at it's finest and i'm gonna give it an A+

I would have given "Baby's Day Out" a zero rating if possible, cause the humor is worse than awful and the movie will surely put your child in an uncomfortable situation. Violence is a big part of this movie and a lot of it takes place below the belt. The baby not only burns the bad guy's groin, but the baby also put his hands on the bad guy's crotch and twists it... yikes! In another scene the baby kicks one of the bad guys in the groin... What's up with that?! No baby should ever have this much contact with a man's groin in a movie, much less in real life. How many would find any of this funny if the bad guy was a woman and a baby inflicted this much pain on the female genitals or breast?? Sorry to say, but pedophiles are everywhere, even in movie-making, and their main objective is to gradually introduce your children to acts of perversion. So ask yourself this - Would you let a pedophile into your home?

I watched this movie when it was first released sometime around 1994 when the "Home Alone" series kind of stuff was the in-thing. I had a chance to watch it again nearly after 15-years on telly last Sunday and I made it a point to make my little one watch it as well. And boy even today - it still has its moments as I could see my little one was literally hooked on to it.To be fair this movie is "Home Alone" pushed to its limits and the "pity" factor raised to an exponential level. Definitely there are too many cinematic liberties but the way the story navigates makes you push them all under the carpet.The entire team deserves a special mention when it comes to capturing the right emotions of the Baby (I know how daunting it can get!). And I never knew that Baby Bink was enacted by twins - golly! Adequate support is lent by the other actors and special mention to Joe Mantegna & Joe Pantoliano (Memento).Back then, it did have enough potential to spin out a few sequels and churn money from the franchise - I wonder why didn't that happen.Verdict:: A few decades later "Baby's Day Out" will still retain its charm as it is today!
