Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

wlbutts Kristy Alley is a CPA/AuditorYou know what the client (George Segal) does to her !!!!!! Mother(Olypia Dukakis) is always talkingFather(sorry don't know name such a minor character) never talks, lets' wife do all the talking and always using a "ten key".Brother, can the burn out from a "Big Firm" be more stereotypical.Great scenes and dialogue in this and sequels, like the time husband (John Travolta) comes home and finds out wife has been reading accounting magazines, went to sleep, no sex tonight.I like the movie but did the script writer take bad advice from H&R Block and blame all accountants for it.

PeterWilliamson This movie is a lot more fun and entertaining than I had expected when I sat down to watch it. It gives you a little bit of three great genres: comedy, romance and a hint of drama. John Travolta plays James Ubriacco perfectly, helping you to lose the awareness that your watching a movie. Kirstie Alley is Molly, the single mother trying to cope with her one and only child; which brings us to the famous and lovable Mikey, with the very necessary voice of Bruce Willis, Mikey makes this movie at least six stars.The movie's fun dialogue captured me on more than one occasion, but I think that one particular line could earn this movie an eight out of ten. When James' grandpa thinks that Molly is married to James, he's talking to her while lying on a hospital bed, he says "of all my daughter in-laws, your my favourite. Your smart and your a good person. That's why Jimmy loves you so much." As a recommendation to others, if you haven't seen this movie, watch it from what I've written above.

MisterWhiplash Look Who's Talking has guilty pleasure written all over it- a romantic comedy with the one twist being that you can hear the baby's inner-dialog (which is really the sarcasm of adult-hood represented wonderfully by Bruce Willis). It's a gimmick that actually does a service to a movie that otherwise would've been just another soapy rom-com about a woman looking for a father for her baby. Mollie (Kirstie Alley, in one of her most memorable performances, chiefly because she's believable and sympathetic most the way), gets knocked up by her boss (George Segal, also quite good as a smug a-hole), and decides to have the baby thinking he might act as the father. He doesn't, and she gets taken to the hospital thanks to cab-driver James (John Travolta, his kinda-sorta mini-comeback in the tail end of the 80s), and he soon befriends Mollie after returning her purse to her after her delivery. Soon a relationship unfolds, but not at first with him as Mollie tries to find someone who will be a *father* to her baby. All the while, the plucky little tyke just wants the guy who makes him laugh the most- and doesn't annoy him by changing the channel when Snuggles the Bear is on.So yeah, a lot of Look Who's Talking, when I think back on it, is pretty cute and almost leans threateningly to the schmaltzy. But what saves it is its fantastic sensibility, mainly in the screenplay where the humor is genuine (however here and there of a sitcom side), and dealing through all of the goofy baby jokes a story and characters that shouldn't be un-sympathetic or even un-empathetic to some viewers. And more often than not, the jokes connect so well that I still grin thinking back to more than a few scenes and lines, like when Mollie- trying one last time- takes Mikey to see his real father, and then as a fight almost breaks out, Mollie breaks a statue, and Mikey follows along ("Take that, Tonto!") A terrific piece of casting is done on the supporting side for Abe Vigoda, who is pretty much hysterically funny in any scene he's in. Travolta, too, is surprisingly funny and amiable here, with his charm meter the highest it's been since. Although the ending is probably way too 'uh-oh', and the final little scene in the credits is a cheap set-up for lesser sequel(s) time, this is a movie that works best on its merits of working cleverly in a conventional format, but also with a good, bright soul to it too. I mean, what do you expect from a talking baby movie? Whatever it is, this is probably the best of the bunch.

smooth_op_85 Look Who's Talking was released when I was a young boy and they could play it all day and I'd never get tired of it.What I liked most of all: Showing how hard it is as a single parent in today's challenging world and the quest for family (I read a review from a biblical perspective and it was kind of harsh although it was balanced out very well) It also showed the fact that people cheat and many times the women in the relationship get screwed in more ways than one. I love the opening scene when they show the sperm fertilizing the eggs (if you are a parent and can't talk to your kids about where babies come from, play this scene. It's educational and entertaining) I also liked the fact that they showed Grandpa Ubriacco and James trying to find him a decent home. This film was well written and this is one of the best films that never gets old, dull or stupid. Anyone who thinks so doesn't have half a brain.It shows how some Fathers can be (biological) and never be there and how some men are selfish while others would be. I LOVED the scenes where she's dating all those men and showing us how they are My ultimate favorite scene is the one where she's on the clock and her biological clock is ticking. This scene I liked because it put such a hilarious spin on something for men, that wouldn't be seen as much of a problem. I also loved Olympia Dukakkis in this movie also.Everything was well written and well thought out and Amy Heckerling did a great job of directing, I'm not sure if she wrote. Another good one of hers is Johnny Dangerously.I absolutely loved Bruce Willis's voice of Mikey. He was the perfect voice for him.This film rocks! It's better than a lot of these crappy remakes Hollywood is responsible for, and still funny though it's almost as old as me
