Review of Look Who's Talking (1989) by Hal Hinson for Washington Post — 01 Jan 2000
A lot of this stuff is irresistible. In the early going especially, the movie's infantilism is snappy and surprising. But this is a great idea for a sketch, not a feature, and if Heckerling had resisted padding it out, it might have made a brilliant short.
A comedy can ride only so far on high concept. It has to deliver the jokes, and this one doesn't.
