What to Know

Critics Consensus

Flat direction and actors who look embarrassed to be onscreen make Baby Geniuses worse than the premise suggests.

A thoroughly misguided, unfunny film. Go to Full Review
Nathan Rabin AV Club 01/05/2007
Baby Geniuses' ramshackle plot serves merely as a launching pad for nearly two hours of jokes revolving around the idea of babies who talk and behave like bad stand-up comedians. Go to Full Review
Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader 01/05/2007
The hokey dialogue and witless physical gags keep everything painful and hectoring. Go to Full Review

Alessandro B @ScrinsonScramson Dec 24 Baby Geniuses is a lighthearted family comedy that leans fully into its silly and imaginative concept. The idea that babies secretly communicate in their own advanced language is playful and creative, giving the movie a fun hook that appeals especially to younger audiences. The talking babies and exaggerated humor are intentionally over-the-top, creating a cartoonish tone that never takes itself too seriously. The film’s bright visuals, fast pace, and slapstick comedy make it an easy, carefree watch. It embraces its absurdity with confidence, delivering simple jokes and energetic scenes designed to entertain kids and spark a few laughs from adults as well. As a piece of late-’90s family entertainment, Baby Geniuses has a nostalgic charm and a clear goal: to be fun. For viewers looking for a goofy, imaginative movie that celebrates playful nonsense, Baby Geniuses delivers exactly that.

See more thiago s @Thiagostone Aug 15 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Leandro I Aug 3 I'd rather kick myself in the nuts then watch this again See more Frank C Jun 8 I thought this movie was pretty bad, but my friend Brandon said it was his favorite movie growing up. This one's for you buddy. See more Tessa H Feb 10 I thought this movie was pretty fun, it has weird older jokes that may not hit the same... however I think it provides a great fun poke at how kids aren't the answer to life but they can give you a reason to have fun and or cause problems.
