#1 Turkey of 1999!

Baby Geniuses is every bit as terrible as the critics made it out to be, and then some. Admittedly this film has some feeble potential, but the idea of talking babies has been toyed with so recurrently that it's growing old. It's apparent that the filmmakers simply wanted to make a guilty pleasure with a few laughs for the kids and adults. The kids might find some entertainment here. As for anyone over the age of 5...you'd have better luck finding a three-legged ballerina than finding anyone remotely interesting in this putrid mess of a movie!

Basically there are a bunch of babies being held for scientific experiments. Two scientists (Turner, Lloyd) who manage the world's leading manufacturer of baby products secretly plan to crack the code of baby talk. Then one troublesome young child named Sly (played by all of the Fitzgerald triplets) escapes from the facility and runs into his twin Whit (played by the same bunch of triplets) with whom he has a telepathic bond. Then some massive mix up occurs when guards from the scientific facility accidentally capture Whit who's mistaken for Sly, and Sly is mistaken for Whit and taken home by Whit's mother.

Apart from some preposterous other sub-plots that emerge, there is nothing else holding the film together. It's a string of stupid, notoriously unfunny childish lines of dialogue that some people actually regard as funny. Now that's a shock! No laughs, hideously embarrassing acting, bad storyline and no redeeming features at all. Whoever decided to green-light this project deserves to be kicked out of the industry forever! Think about it...they spent of millions of dollars financing this film. With that money they could have done two or three low budget movies that could have been decent. That's two or three movies we will never see. If crap like this is being created in Hollywood I wonder what stuff they must be rejecting... I don't think any possible film projects that have been rejected could possibly be worse than this.

Everyone on the cast should be ashamed of themselves. With names like Christopher Lloyd and Kathleen Turner one would expect something that is at least entertaining. Instead we have dreadful acting with even poorer source material. I can't believe how bad this so called "comedy" (I believe the film is incorrectly placed in the genre of comedy) turned out to be. The script is so terrible...I cannot even conceive a word to describe it. Directing is usually uneven and awkward. I don't recall any scenes that are memorable. Each and every second is instantly forgettable. In a sense this is a good thing. I'd rather forget I ever saw this movie.

Baby Geniuses marks one of Hollywood's lowest points. The whole film is the furthest thing from entertainment. Every aspect of the filmmaking falls flat. Script, directing, performances...they act as repulsive faeces in a grotty toilet. The screenwriter must've been a 1-year-old baby...and not a genius.
