Critic Reviews

  • Variety Staff, Variety

    Like a standup comic pouring 'flopsweat', this ill-conceived comedy about an infant whose thoughts are given voice by actor Bruce Willis palpitates with desperation.

  • Geoff Andrew, Time Out

    Heckerling directs this dippy but delightful film with a light, zany touch and a reasonably low yuck-factor (dribbles notwithstanding).

  • Vincent Canby, New York Times

    Cute is the operative word for the movie, which stars some good actors doing material that is not super.

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    This flabby comedy ... deserves only one thing: to fall on its fat one.

  • Hal Hinson, Washington Post

    This is a great idea for a sketch, not a feature, and if Heckerling had resisted padding it out, it might have made a brilliant short. A comedy can ride only so far on high concept. It has to deliver the jokes, and this one doesn't.

    Good fun and easy watching, Kirsty Alley and John Travolta pair up in this family comedy with a comical voiceover from Bruce Willis - A feel good film.

  • Chris W


    Bruce Willis is a scream in this very funny, witty, and unique tale. It's a nice little rom-com about a woman who gives birth out of wedlock. The catch though, is that the focus is on her baby- voiced by Willis. Kirstie Alley is pretty good as the mom, and Travolta is also not… More
