Some talk, little walk

Look Who's Talking (1989)

Written and directed by Amy Heckerling this film stars John Travolta, Kirstie Alley and the voice of Bruce Willis. An accountant gets pregnant after an affair with a married client.

A lot of this film is just a standard romantic comedy with the unique element being we get to hear the inner monologue of the new born baby. While knowing the babies thoughts is different I am not sure it is ever used to it's full potential and might have been better served using the voice of a comedian rather than Bruce Willis. The fertilization sequences are pretty impressive but otherwise this ends up being a very standard genre entry despite it's massive success at the time of release.


3/5
