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

Baby's Day Out contains gags that might have worked in a Baby Herman cartoon, but in live action, with real people, real taxis and buses and streets and a real baby, they're just not funny.

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

Rated: 3/4

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

Rated: 2/4

I may be biased as this was my baby brother's favorite movie when he was a toddler, but this movie is adorable. It's a family movie night vibe and perfect for a nostalgic night in.

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
