Too many fans seem to be blown away

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

A light comedy funny enough and special effects in utero that still hold on today. Cute film, kid and Kristie! The boy was Bruce Willis? Oh, just the voice. ouf! Travolta was flying in the film. What's not to like?

"Look Who's Talking" was a box-office smash, mostly for the gimmick of the audience being able to hear the baby's inner thoughts. This gimmick, and some amusing fantasy sequences, help carry an otherwise ordinary and predictable story, though it does run out of steam. John Travolta gets to play a charming goofball, Kirstie Alley is in her prime, and Bruce Willis does some good voice work. It's strange: the film is pretty raunchy for "family entertainment", but it would have been funnier if it was even raunchier - which, of course, would cost it an R rating and a decrease in family tickets. **1/2 out of 4.

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.

Mollie (Kirstie Alley) is an accountant following her mother Rosie (Olympia Dukakis). She has an affair with her married client Albert (George Segal). She becomes pregnant with Mikey (Bruce Willis) while Albert keeps stringing her along. She catches Albert with his interior decorator Melissa. Cabbie James (John Travolta) drives her to the hospital. Later, he starts using her place to fake residence in Manhattan for his grandpa (Abe Vigoda) and also babysits Mikey. They fall in love but she resists.The movie needs to cut out some of the beginning. Alley is forced to carry the whole thing by herself. It's not particularly funny. Much of it could be trimmed. It improves when Travolta shows up. Travolta and Alley have good comedic banter. The gimmick of talking babies have some fun moments. Willis is good and it's light fun. It's even funnier when the kid grows a little older and more adorable. There are some unevenness but overall it's fun likable comedy.
