Posing as children's photographers, three crooks (Adam Robert Worton, Joe Mantegna, Lara Flynn Boyle) scheme their way into a mansion to kidnap an infant (Brigid Duffy, Eddie Bracken). Their hostage proves quite resourceful, however, escaping their hideout and making his way into downtown Chicago. Now the con men have to find their abductee, who believes that in order to return home he must reenact scenes from his favorite storybook, including trips to the zoo and a construction site.

The whole is so efficiently made that you honestly can't tell where and how the stunts are woven into the material.

Great fun as a family movie: not remotely heart-warming and beautifully photographed.

John Hughes's subjects have become increasingly puerile. So, alas, have his movies.

What really spoils an otherwise standard comedy is the gooey sentimentality.

...benefits from its agreeably broad performances and smattering of laugh-out-loud funny jokes and interludes...

With more baby-involvement, it could have been quite diverting. As it is, the baby is obviously photographed separately.

Baby's Day Out is a fun family movie that is still enjoyable today. The baby steals the show while the kidnappers add plenty of comedy. The movie is entertaining from start to finish.

Simple, silly and light comedy focused movie. The baby's adventures around the city create funny situations that are easy to follow and enjoy. The villains are more funny than scary, which keeps the tone very light. Overall, it is a harmless and entertaining family movie, especially for kids. You can watch it with your family and have a very good time with them.

So, after I watched this movie, all I can say is: "Who the f**k is giving this dumb movie a five star???", the whole movie has ZERO logic, it's just pure luck for the stupid baby Bink. Like WHAT????? Does the director even KNOW how kidnappers really are? Stop trying to just make the baby into the MVP, it's not funny at all, in fact, my friends all said it's cringe and makes us rage bait. But because it's from the 1900s, you can't delete the film, so I'm just gonna give this a 0.5 star(I WOULD GIVE IT A ZERO IF I COULD). My overall opinion for the characters: baby Bink sucks, the kidnappers are too stupid, the mother is WAY too protective, and I HATE BABY BINK, just to say it again so that fans of baby b*tch can be pissed off :).
