People are voting emotionally.

Boring, long, and too preachy.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

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.

Seriously, it looks like people either really love or really hate this movie. It has an extremely low rating on IMDb (currently 2.5), which, in my opinion, it doesn't deserve.Alright, so it's a dumb movie. But, come on, it's a comedy... for kids! It's not supposed to be serious or realistic. It's supposed to provide entertainment. And it does... to some extent at least. It does have a few funny moment, you have got to admit.Kathleen Turner is miscast, though. She makes a terrible antagonist. Her performance was weak to say the least. Then again, the same can be said about most of the cast.I did find the sex joke between two toddlers amusing, but yeah, it WAS kind of inappropriate, as many reviewers have pointed out already. Not a big deal to me personally, as long as it's funny, and it was.So no, it's not "the worst movie ever made". I thought it was watchable, and, in fact, somewhat entertaining.Then there's those, who have left raving 10 star reviews, saying that this is this movie is "genious"... you guys must be out of your minds.It is nowhere near "good", let alone "genious", but, like I said, it's a dumb comedy for kids, that some adults might find mildly amusing at times. Nothing more, nothing less.

Well, if you're reading this you've already read the title of the film. Do you honestly need anymore to tell you how bad this film is? Just in case you weren't tipped off by the title, it sucked. But in fairness how do you make that premise work? Baby Geniuses is never going to be the next Citizen Kane any time soon is it. It sounds more like a writer wanted to make his child into a movie star and used this film as an excuse. I largely watched it because I had a morbid curiosity to see it. It was that same kind of curiosity that makes me wonder just what it would feel like to put my hand on an open flame. I knew I would go through pain but it will give me something to talk about to you psychiatrist. Just like any film, this does have a plot. A dumb plot, but a plot none the less. It follows the premise that all babies are born with intelligence far beyond that of any adult, but that they lose this intelligence when they get older. (I said it had a plot, I did not say that it made sense…) In one evil lab then they are doing tests to prove that babies can talk by separating twins with one being raised in a lab and one being raised in a regular home environment but are never allowed to meet as it would tamper the experiment. But through the power of bad story telling the child escapes and the wrong twin is brought back to the lab. From this premise alone I begin to wonder what producer saw this script and actually wanted to spend money to make it. As it turns out it's Steven Paul, who is also the writer of the film and the same producer who helped us see Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. He seems to specialise in films that must be trying to be bad. But the problem is that his films are not "so bad they're funny" where you laugh because of how stupid the film is. Instead they're just very unpleasant films to watch. In fact, watching this film I didn't laugh once. Not once. It seems to have confused the idea of being annoying with that of being funny. Otherwise I would have no idea of why they would put so much noise of baby giggling in the film. When it's your child giggling you may enjoy it because it's your child, but on screen it is a hair pulling annoyance for all ages.Added to this is that the film is also very creepy, with the babies lip syncing in this being comparable to the last Twilight film (not quite as creepy as that one but we're in the same area of creepiness). And that isn't the only off putting element of this film. When you watch it then you have to witness the awkwardness of extreme close ups, a baby dancing like he was in a 70's film and terrifying giant robot mechanic babies. For the most part a lot of the film could probably be cut out of the film and put into a horror movie, because I certainly felt closer to being frightened then I was to laughing. Another annoying thing that this film has is Christopher Lloyd. In the film he is neither good nor bad. But I know Lloyd and he is capable of doing so much more than some of the garbage films he's done. The thing is this isn't even the worst film he's been, also appearing in Foodfight and Piranha 3d. I'm guessing he gets paid for it, but he's Christopher Lloyd god damn it! He's the Russian who tried to kill Anastasia! The scientist who created time travel! The killer who framed Roger Rabbit! He can play so many memorable roles, but keeps wasting his talent on films that are beneath him! He's a great actor and I can only hope that he will stop choosing such awful films...But Lloyds presence in the film is not the most upsetting thing. The saddest part about this film is that, adjusted for inflation, it earned over 50 million at the box office. People paid money to see this in a cinema. I get watching a film to laugh at how bad it is, but I really question the human race as a species when in a month where films like Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Analyze this come out people pay this much money to see a film like this. Worse yet because it did well at the box office, this film got a sequel. Yes, we live in a world where Dredd is a standalone film and Baby Geniuses gets a sequel. I have yet to see Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2, but somehow people say it is worse than the first. But I'm getting off track, so I'll leave you with this warning. This film was painful to watch and exists for no other reason than to be creepy and annoying. And if you have a twisted mind and get a kick out of listening to babies scream and laugh for an hour and a half then this could be your film. But if not, the only way you could possibly gain pleasure from this is by mocking it.

I have enjoyed (and reviewed) a lot of bad movies over the years. I have liked "Mesa of Lost Women", "Untamed Women", "Eegah!", "The Beast of Yucca Flats", and many others. These films have always had no-name casts, very low production values, and bad scripts. They're enjoyable in a "so-bad-it's-good" way."Baby Geniuses" is completely different. It has a big-name cast (including Kathleen Turner, Kim Cattrall, Dom DeLuise, and Christopher Lloyd), a pretty big budget (reportedly $12 million), and a well-known director, Bob Clark. With all those things going for it, this movie is definitely the worst I've ever seen. The script is incredibly bad, and involves evil Drs. Kinder and Heep (Turner and Lloyd) holding babies captive so that they can study baby communication and make big money for their evil corporation. I won't go into any more detail because, well, I'm not sadistic.Turner and Lloyd are not bad under the circumstances, but the story and script are so execrable that the actors don't really have a chance. The movie mostly consists of babies doing supposedly cute things, and the adult actors are left flailing around and trying to salvage this mess. After watching this, I began to wonder if this is the worst film I've seen since I started watching movies in 1960. "The Black Bird" (1975) came to mind, but that movie seems like Shakespeare compared to "Baby Geniuses".This film is so atrociously horrible that I don't think I can really adequately describe it here. Don't watch this movie, even if you're a fan of one of the cast. Trust me. I'm doing you a favor.
