Summary
RATING: PG for action violence and some rude humor
Starring Jon Voight, Scott Baio, Vanessa Angel, Skyler Shaye, Justin Chatwin, Peter Wingfield, and Gerry Fitzgerald
The adventure continues with a new generation of talking toddlers. This time, the baby geniuses find themselves at the center of a nefarious scheme led by powerful media mogul Bill Biscane (Voight) to use his state-of-the-art satellite system to control the minds of the world's population. (Sony)

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.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Angel Cohn
Entirely too convoluted for kids and implausible even by the standards set by the original concept.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >USA Today Mike Clark
Here's a late-August dog-days atrocity from the "aren't farts funny?" school of filmmaking.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Jami Bernard
Features even more toddlers acting in a way only collectors of velvet paintings will consider irresistible.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Ruthe Stein
Spending an hour and a half inside a uterus might be more entertaining than this tiresome sequel.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Michael O'Sullivan
So bad that I predict there will be drinking games set around viewing it someday.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Variety Justin Chang
Falls short on nearly every level, from production values to an inexplicable cameo by Whoopi Goldberg.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader J.R. Jones
This excruciating sequel tries to squeeze a few more bucks from the "Spy Kids" espionage formula.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kevin Crust
May quite easily put an end to any discussion of what is the worst theatrical release of 2004.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Nathan Rabin
The most perversely unnecessary sequel in recent memory.
Read Full Review >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.
Read Full Review >Wall Street Journal Joanne Kaufman
Unspeakably ghastly sequel to the merely ghastly original.
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.
Read Full Review >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.

Who would give this above a 3? this is probably the worst film ever made!!!
David M. gave it a0:
Worst movie ever, bar none. The positive reviews for this film can only be by industry lackeys associated with this heap of poo.
chris p. gave it a0:
This is an absolute abomination. the worst theatrical release with any kind of a budget I have ever seen. whoever gave this the green light should seriously re-evaluate their job, and john voight should re-evaluate his agent.
zack o. gave it a0:
I thought the 1st baby geniuses movie was the worst i had ever seen. i was wrong. This movie made me want to die. literally.
