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

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

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

Lael Loewenstein

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

There are ticklish moments, but no real laughs.

The New York Times
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.

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

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