Well I’ll be damned…surprisingly good!!
This is certainly not my sort of film, but after my girlfriend began complaining we always watch my movies, I prepared myself for 90 minutes of fake laughter and smiling to keep her happy, after all who else was I gonna take to see the new ‘Clint’ movie out.However the opening scene with the tadpoles set the way for 90 minutes of top notch comedy, not exactly a laugh a second sort of comedy like Scary Movie or The Naked Gun, but a more all round sort of comedy where most gags hit the mark, certainly a major difference to Scary Movie! The casting is spot on, one of the major differences to the sequel. Bruce Willis is a great choice to play the voice of Mikey, and John Travolta is fantastic. But for me it was George Segal who stole the show for me, playing Mikey’s real father, who in his words is going through a ‘selfish phase’.
Sadly the sequels are simply terrible, but this movie is one of the best comedies I’ve seen in a long time, and I gave it 8/10.
one of the cutest diversions of the past twenty years
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.
