    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.

    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.

    The overall effect is ghoulish.

    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.

    Entirely too convoluted for kids and implausible even by the standards set by the original concept.

    Features even more toddlers acting in a way only collectors of velvet paintings will consider irresistible.

    Spending an hour and a half inside a uterus might be more entertaining than this tiresome sequel.

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

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

    This excruciating sequel tries to squeeze a few more bucks from the "Spy Kids" espionage formula.

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

    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.

    I like the first Baby Genuises movie, but the sequel is too tired and probably it's for toddlers only. Did Sony gave permission to a wasteless flop like this? Nobody needs a sequel to Baby Genuises and that's why parents should avoid this before your child could be getting a higher learning. Superheroes and babies don't mix because this is not Adventures in Babysitting 1 and a Half. Superbabies: Baby Genuises 2 is one of the most downright disgraceful sequels of the decade. Godzilla met your match!… Full Review »
