I thought the movie was hilarious. It reminded me of the cartoons similar to Wile E. Coyote & the Road Runner. The baby always outsmarted the villains. This movie made me laugh nonstop. It was just so adorable. It's not meant that be taken seriously. Just enjoy the movie

Baby's Day Out wad an okay movie. I finished it today so it is fresh in my mind. Baby's Day Out had the same type of action as Home Alone. Baby's Day Out was not funny at all. What a good movie. I give this a 61%🍅.

Baby's Day Out may be a wonderful romp for children, but this exaggerated skit has preciously little to offer adults besides a baby who miraculously survives everything.

Hilarious. The movie didn't deserve to bomb. This movie is HIGHLY underrated in my opinion. The movie is fast paced, and the comedy is actually FUNNY. There are heartwarming moments, such as after the baby is kidnapped. The only issue I have is that, the ending feels rushed.

You have to watch this movie with an open mind like the 'Home Alone' series except this film has a baby as the lead. Both films are a nightmare for squeamish parents. The truth is if your child or baby was placed in a similar situation in real life, you'd be horrified. The movies are completely implausible, but they are entertaining nonetheless. 'Baby's Day Out' has its moments with decent gags. It will probably be revered as a sort of a classic family film for future generations. Not yet though. It's about 20 years away from that. Grade: 70/100 C-

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

...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.
