[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=#000000][u]Plot Summary[/u][/color][/font][/size].

[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=#000000]The story starts off with Archie, Finkleman, Alex and Rosita talking about a hero named Kahuna and how he saved babies from the German camps. [/color][/font][/size].

[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=#000000]Bill Biscane shows up and launches a new television channel for kids that will sweep the world. But there?s a hitch in his plan ? his henchmen lose a critical DVD to the babies (Archie Finkleman, Alex and Rosita). But the babies are saved from capture by Kahuna. Kahuna takes them to his hideout and shows them about.[/color][/font][/size].

[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=#000000]That?s where they discover a chamber that lets them become superheroes. They step into the chamber and think about what sort of superheroes they could become.[/color][/font][/size].

[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=#000000]And then there?s some side story about a guy and a girl who might be in love, then Kahuna gets captured.[/color][/font][/size].

[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=#000000]Then there?s a part where the other four babies get a recorded message from Kahuna that they the fate of all kids rests on their small shoulders and they should become the superheroes they imagined while in that chamber they discovered. If they do, then there?s a chance that they can stop Biscane?s evil plan.[/color][/font][/size].

[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=#000000]SCORING.

[u]Main[/u][u] Male Characters[/u][/color][/font][/size].

[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=#000000]Babies are cute to look at and listen to with their strange language, but they?re not cute to look at when they?re kicking bad guy butt or talking like adults. It?s hard to believe they?re that smart.[/color][/font][/size].

[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=#000000]Bill Biscane is just your average bad guy out to rule the world. SCORE: [b]2[/b][/color][/font][/size].

[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=#000000][u]Supporting Cast[/u][/color][/font][/size].

[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=#000000]There are other adults in this film, but darn it, I can?t remember a thing about them. SCORE: [b]3[/b].[/color][/font][/size].

[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=#000000][u]Plot[/u][/color][/font][/size].

[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=#000000]Reality check guys. How can someone brain wash everyone with television? How can a chamber turn babies into superheroes? How can any adult want to act in a movie where they get beaten up by babies? It?s just terrible. SCORE: [b]1.[/b][/color][/font][/size].

[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=#000000][u]Originality[/u][/color][/font][/size].

[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=#000000]This is your standard superhero movie where the good guys are out to save the day ? if they were wearing diapers. SCORE: [b]3[/b].[/color][/font][/size].

[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=#000000][u]Violence Factor[/u][/color][/font][/size].

[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=#000000]There?s a double standard here: Babies beat up on adults throughout the film without any fear of retaliation ? because if any adult hits any baby, it?s child abuse and the producers of the film would get crucified by the parents and by the general public. SCORE: [b]2.[/b][/color][/font][/size].

[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=#000000][u]Other Moral Issues[/u][/color][/font][/size].

[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=#000000]Maybe there is one, but it got lost in all the action. SCORE: [b]3.[/b][/color][/font][/size].

[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=#000000][u]Final Score (out of 60):[b] 14[/b][/u] [/color][/font][/size].

[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=#000000][u]% Score:[b] 23%[/b][/u][/color][/font][/size].

[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=#000000][i]Superbabies[/i] is super bad and is my choice for worst movie of this year so far. Everyone involved in making this film should be sent to bed without their supper.[/color][/font][/size].
