    Formulated on an idiotic idea and develops a predictably lackluster motion picture from it.

    This movie wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. It's still not that good though.

    Bad films are easy to make, but a film as unpleasant as Baby Geniuses' achieves a kind of grandeur.

    Formulaic and deeply unfunny.

    The laughs are few, far between and pretty darn faint in this comedy.

    There are ticklish moments, but no real laughs.

    A thoroughly misguided, unfunny film that proves you shouldn't beat a dead horse.

    The hokey dialogue and witless physical gags keep everything painful and hectoring.

    A stupid comedy with toddlers talking like hip '90s grown-ups.

    Trying to encapsulate the movie's storyline is not possible; it doesn't appear to have one.

    The worst movie of 1999.

    A horrible, horrible film that wears out its welcome before its opening credits.

    One way to get through Baby Geniuses is to think about whether it really is the worst movie you've ever seen. Probably not, but pretty darn close.

    Baby Geniuses is possibly the worst movie I have ever seen.It is full of bad acting,bad jokes,and worst of all a bad story line. Baby shooting off one liners may sound funny but it is not. Call those jumping jacks? More like jumping jerks! Yeah this is some real quality stuff. Sadly that is one of the better quotes in the movie. The fight sequences are so bad it is almost funny to watch. After seeing guys with guns chase a baby,and then the baby defending himself with kung-fu that looks like something from the Matrix you know you are watching a bad movie. The musical score is terrible beyond explanation,and never backs up the dialouge or the scene of the movie. You can not blame the actors (even though there bad) for there acting no one can make that script sound good. All in all this is the one of the worst movies ever and you should not see it!!!!!!!!!!… Full Review »
