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.

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

The Hollywood Reporter
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.

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

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

Spectacularly awful.

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

So bad that I predict there will be drinking games set around viewing it someday.

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

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.

May quite easily put an end to any discussion of what is the worst theatrical release of 2004.

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

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

Unspeakably ghastly sequel to the merely ghastly original.

The New York Times
Villainy toward the infant class now comes from Jon Voight, descending to the depths of his 37-year-career.

Dallas Observer
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.
