What Parents Should Know
Common Sense says it's never a great idea to make a sequel
of a movie that regularly appears on the lists of the worst
movies ever made. This movie is so mindnumbingly bad that your
kids could actually lose brain cells watching it.
If you do go, you can ask your kids whether or not they think media (like the bad TV programming in the show) affects them and if so, how.
Common Sense Media Review
Toddlers acting cute -- sort of, well, not really, well,
actually, this may be the most irritating movie of the year.
Digitally animated mouths move and smart aleck things drop
out.
In this sequel to one of the great bad movies of all time, Kahuna (as in the big...) rescues children and talks to them in fake baby talk. He sticks up for his fellow babies against the evil Bill Biscane, played with some good tongue in cheek understanding of how hard it is to earn a paycheck by Jon Voight.
Biscane is trying to turn babies' minds to mush through bad television (like this film isn't attempting the same thing).
"I'm your worst nightmare, a small fry with a big attitude!" Kahuna sort of pronounces before he does his version of Home Alone 1, 2 ,3 and 4 and goes after Biscane and his crew. While no one gets too hurt, it's still bizarre to see babies acting violently...
In a final reassuring sop to parents, it turns out that all the gooing and gaggahing of the babies are really deep thoughts.
This film turns out to be as incomprehensible as their mutterings, however, and if you feel the need to see something talk that shouldn't, rent BABE.
