This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

After a single, career-minded woman is left on her own to give birth to the child of a married man, she finds a new romantic chance in a cab driver. Meanwhile, the point-of-view of the newborn boy is narrated through voice-over. Charming, cute and adorable 'Look Who's Talking' is a terrific little comedy with a baby overshadowing the main stars with being adorable and just hilarious smart. The 5.8 is really low and it's definitely an underrated film. (A+)

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.

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

One wonders if Amy Heckerling has a thing about sex: not a positive thing but a negative thing, though this movie is not as anti-sex as Fast Times at Ridgemont High. The only two sexual encounters in this movie result in pregnancies, the first unwanted though the second is wanted. The first pregnancy is also very much a result from a sleazy guy married to a new age woman and uses all of his charm to get what he wants, and though he is a wonderful guy at the beginning, one quickly begins to see right through him.This movie is about a woman who has a baby and the father is not really all that interested so she decides to search for another father. The cab driver that took her too the hospital ended up being in the operating theatre when the baby was born and ends up being the babysitter. The twist in this movie is that we hear the babies' thoughts, and Bruce Willis seems to be a natural at this. I can just picture Willis having a lot of fun doing Mikey's voice-over.I guess this movie is working with an unusual concept, that of the baby's thoughts being heard, to drive the point of the fact that a baby needs a father. We have a couple of times when the baby wonders who the guy is that takes other babies away. Unfortunately the success of this movie meant that two sequels and a series were spawned from it which I don't think pushes the theme that this movie does.Personally I find that this movie is not as funny as I remembered it to be. There are a few really good lines though I did not think that having the baby talk added that much to it. It is interesting to see how people misinterpret the baby's actions, such as Mikey pulling out a photo of Jack saying that he wants Jack as his father while the others think he wants to see photos.Look Who's Talking was in its own way different when it hit the screens, but it was not that impacting that it sticks in the minds of people now. If mentioned we know what they are talking about but generally it has not gone away forgotten.
