I’m not really much of a romantic comedy fan but that doesn’t mean that there can’t be good ones out there. However, this certainly isn’t one of them. Also, I don’t know if you can really class this as a family movie as it is overly sexual for that genre (at least in my opinion).
In “Look Who’s Talking”, we meet an accountant by the name Mollie (Kirstie Alley “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan”), who is going to have a baby after she has an affair. That guy leaves and after the baby is born Mollie goes in search of a ‘perfect’ father. Meanwhile the baby named Mikey (voiced by Bruce Willis “Die Hard”, “Unbreakable”) bonds with the taxi driver turned babysitter James (John Travolta “Grease”, “Face/Off”).
The acting in the film is quite frankly terrible. Kirstie Alley and John Travolta give boring performances as Mollie and James. Throughout the picture we hear the baby Mikey’s thoughts via the voice of Bruce Willis. There are some deeply wrong things with both what he says and the fact that he is talking. Although, that is really the film’s gimmick. Nobody else in the film is good either. For what is supposed to be a family movie lots of bad language and dirty talk is present.
I don’t feel that this film is funny, I don’t think the characters are interesting and the gimmick of the film is just that, a gimmick. No matter what you say to me I will never deem something like this good entertainment. The film is too adult themed for kids and too moronic for anyone old enough to understand or care about the subjects discussed. Like so many other brainless comedies out there this film forgets that you need actually need something funny to happen. Just discussing sex isn’t funny.
