Review of Look Who's Talking (1989) by Beth M — 28 Jul 2010

â??Look Who's Talkingâ?? is a pretty creative and original film in its presentation. (It's told from the story of a baby, and the story focuses on the relationship between the baby's mother and the men in her life.) Surprisingly, it is a pretty funny film in its own way, even if it is riddled with that 1980s style. That said, I think that this is a film for those readers who enjoy romantic comedies and films involving in-your-face babies with adult-like views on the world and society. I think that the film will make most people laugh, even though it is not a great film, I still enjoy this one. However, the opening scene with the tadpoles set the way for 90 minutes of top notch comedy, not exactly a laugh a second sort of comedy movies like â??Scary Movieâ?? or â??The Naked Gunâ??, but a more all round sort of comedy where most gags hit the mark. The casting is spot on, one of the major differences to the sequel. Bruce Willis is a great choice to play the voice of Mikey, and John Travolta is fantastic, their relationship is not bad like they don't fight or argue at each other. But for me it was George Segal who stole the show for me, playing Mikey's real father, who in his words is going through a 'selfish phase'. And of course, the good chemistry of Alley and Travolta goes perfect until to the end.

I just found out that there are 2 sequels in this film but they're awful as hell, so I would prefer this film still to most people out there especially women and men who may have think about how these babies are thinking on these adults.
