Critics Consensus

Flat direction and actors who look embarrassed to be onscreen make Baby Geniuses worse than the premise suggests.

Lael Loewenstein

Variety

A thoroughly misguided, unfunny film.

Nathan Rabin

AV Club

Baby Geniuses' ramshackle plot serves merely as a launching pad for nearly two hours of jokes revolving around the idea of babies who talk and behave like bad stand-up comedians.

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Chicago Reader

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

Alternate Ending

Aesthetically and morally, I can hardly name a more viscerally repugnant family film from the 1990s.

Rated: 0.5/5

I thought this movie was pretty fun, it has weird older jokes that may not hit the same... however I think it provides a great fun poke at how kids aren't the answer to life but they can give you a reason to have fun and or cause problems.

Unfortunately the babies that made this movie were not, in fact, geniuses.

I honestly thought it was pretty fun. I know a lot of people hate it, yeah it has its issues, but its plot isn't that great so I will give 3 stars.

Baby Geniuses was a HORRIBLE TERRIBLE TREACHEROUS movie. I finished it a few minutes and it was HORRIBLE. When the babies talked it look super creepy. Also this movie was super duper boring. When I started watching the movie, it seemed interesting at first. But then the movie started to really boring. I mean, this movie would be better off without the babies. I hated every single character in this movie. This movie is the worst movie I have watched in my life. I think I have found the worst movie in the world. This movie is a HIDEOUS BORING AWFUL movie. I give it a 0%.

A cinematic masterpiece… a true classic for children born in the early 90s. The baby Elvis impression is better than what you would see on the strip in Vegas. The bravery of the babies is comparable to that of Aragorn, Han Solo, and Dumbledore himself.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
