 | this movie is a cutiesy family movie that has big time actors in it like John Travolta and Kirstey Alley. However, it seems to be more of a series of thoughtless imitations of life in which it so desprately tries to emilates. But in of itself it is still a great movie to watch with the family and laugh at how much different their family is compared to yours. |

| The woman behind the 80's teen comedy classic, Fast Times At Ridgemont High and the 90's trend setter comedy Clueless, hit it real big with the irresistible Look Who's Talking. The film presents the world through the wide eyed view of an infant.
Mollie (Kirstie Alley) is a single mother in her mid-30's who sets out to find a proper father for her son. Baby Mikey (whose inner thoughts are expressed by Bruce Wilis) is determined to make his opinion on the subject known through his actions--he favors James Ubriacco (John Travolta), a cab driver, his frequent baby-sitter, who's lots of fun. His real dad Albert (George Segal), by contrast is a slimey womanizer, with little redeeming qualities. But by the time he learns to talk, it may be too late.
Written and directed by Amy Heckerling, the movie is light and fun, allowing for commentary about life that we can all relate to. Travolta uses his turn as James for his umteenth "comeback" and has great sparkle opposite Alley, who at the time was on a roll herself, thanks to her gig on TV's Cheers. As the voice of Mikey, Willis is pitch perfect, capturing the spirit of child like wonderment (with just a twinge of sarcasm as well). The gimmick never gets over used and its really no different than what John Hughes did with Ferris Bueller The film also has wonderful performances from Olympia Dukakis as Mollie's mom Rosie and the great Abe Vigoda as James's Grandpa. The scenes at the retirement home are the best part of the movie.
The DVD allows viewers to watch the film in either the widesceen or full frame formats. It's somewhat disappointing that the only extra on the disc is the theatrical trailer---an audio commentary might be interesting.
Look Who's Talking is good fun. It's a shame that the idea had to be taken too far in two lesser films. Still you can't beat the one that started it all. |

| I've loved this movie since I was young, and didn't get half the jokes. A lot of the jokes are aimed at the adult audience, rather than teaching kids how they came into the world - it wasn't by a stork! With all the recent bad press about Kirstie Alley's weight gain, it's good to watch her, when she was still reasonably slim. And she looks great in this film. Especially when she does the little dance, while feeding Mikey, and John Travolta walks in. Although John Travolta will never be as good as he was in Grease, this is one of those movies, where he provides the laughs, and genuinely looks quite nice - especially when he has the bruise, after Mikey's real dad hits him with a phone! (You just wanna kiss him all better!) His love of beer and fast food is beginning to show in this, as he has a little stomach, which then becomes a big stomach for Pulp Fiction! I'm never quite sure as Bruce Willis as the voice of Mikey. When I was younger, I probably didn't see a lot of Bruce Willis in movies, and still to this day, I don't really recognise his voice. He's trying too hard to have a high voice, and sure, on certain words, he lets slip, and you can hear its him. But it just doesn't sound like him. This is a terrific film, to watch as a youngster, and as an adult, and be able to appreciate the sexual chemistry between John & Kirstie. It's funny, and although, the sequels aren't as good, when are they? I just have to get the second one on DVD now! |

| It starts off quite rude, you can actually see whats happening to the pheotus inside her. It is kind of weird because the baby is talking inside her even though the people don't actually know that he is, and it is daft. It would of been much better if a voice wasen't talking him at such a young age. It is inbetween good and bad, it is one of them films that can't really get better the second time of watching it. |
