My daughter is 11 and loved the movie we all have watched together...These actors have chemistry and we can feel it strongly...we all think the first movie is the best...Travolta's entertaining the kids makes all remember ours fathers and ourselves. Great movie, I just bought the DVD on eBay too bad no Blu-ray...always cry and laugh with this movie. Thanks to everyone that gave his best to it happen!

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.

Kristy Alley is a CPA/AuditorYou know what the client (George Segal) does to her !!!!!! Mother(Olypia Dukakis) is always talkingFather(sorry don't know name such a minor character) never talks, lets' wife do all the talking and always using a "ten key".Brother, can the burn out from a "Big Firm" be more stereotypical.Great scenes and dialogue in this and sequels, like the time husband (John Travolta) comes home and finds out wife has been reading accounting magazines, went to sleep, no sex tonight.I like the movie but did the script writer take bad advice from H&R Block and blame all accountants for it.

This movie stars talking babies...But other than that the entire premise of this movie struck me as being more than a little dubious. This movie seemed to glamorize Section 8 single moms and made successful corporate tycoons seem like they are occasionally unfaithful to their spouses. Remembering McCarthyism all too well, this makes me wonder which side of the aisle the film makers were on... As a side, however, The computer graphics in this movie were amazing, but I didn't let the eye candy fool me into forgetting my core values. Hollywood can't tell me what to think, unless it has an awesome ending like Independence Day. The Musical score was also excellent. I didn't catch who did it because I was so displeased with the film itself during the credits, but kudos to whomever was involved!I was confused why no one seemed to notice that Mikey could talk. This made me think that the movie would have a "Sixth Sense" kind of ending where we would find out that Mikey was actually dead the entire time which is why no one could hear him (but it didn't end this way, instead James and THE WELFARE QUEEN fell in love). I think this may have been the precursor to Baby's Day Out (which I haven't seen yet, but I've played the game Baby's Day Out on NES...very challenging...)
