Entertainment Weekly
Gregory Kirschling
The film's moral? Turn off the TV, young 'uns, and go outside and play! And avoid Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 matinees while you're at it.

42
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Jane Horwitz
Apart from Jon Voight, slumming and turning in a rather droll, if lonely, performance as the German-accented villain, the movie amounts to cynical, cutesy claptrap.

38
Boston Globe
Leighton Klein
The overall effect is ghoulish.

30
TV Guide
Angel Cohn
Entirely too convoluted for kids and implausible even by the standards set by the original concept.

30
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
The sequel retains not only the same gimmicky premise as the original but its preference for cliche-ridden dialogue and flat-footed comedy as well.

25
USA Today
Mike Clark
Here's a late-August dog-days atrocity from the "aren't farts funny?" school of filmmaking.

25
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
Features even more toddlers acting in a way only collectors of velvet paintings will consider irresistible.

25
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Spectacularly awful.

25
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
Spending an hour and a half inside a uterus might be more entertaining than this tiresome sequel.

20
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
So bad that I predict there will be drinking games set around viewing it someday.

20
LA Weekly
Robert Abele
As for anyone else who may experience a sudden need for therapy after sitting through this, you're on your own.

20
Variety
Justin Chang
Falls short on nearly every level, from production values to an inexplicable cameo by Whoopi Goldberg.

10
Chicago Reader
J.R. Jones
This excruciating sequel tries to squeeze a few more bucks from the "Spy Kids" espionage formula.

Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
May quite easily put an end to any discussion of what is the worst theatrical release of 2004.

0
The Onion (A.V. Club)
Nathan Rabin
The most perversely unnecessary sequel in recent memory.

0
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
This is a movie that should have bypassed the theatres and gone straight to DVD. It is offensive on so many levels.

0
Wall Street Journal
Joanne Kaufman
Unspeakably ghastly sequel to the merely ghastly original.
0
The New York Times
Dave Kehr
Villainy toward the infant class now comes from Jon Voight, descending to the depths of his 37-year-career.

0
Dallas Observer
Jean Oppenheimer
The first Baby Geniuses, released in 1999, was one of the most inane, humorless, ill-conceived, poorly acted comedies of the year. As difficult as it is to imagine, the sequel is even worse, earning an F.
