The romantic ups and downs of accountant Mollie Jensen (Kirstie Alley) are viewed cynically by a most unusual bystander -- her talking newborn, Mikey (Bruce Willis). She becomes pregnant through an affair with a married man, Albert (George Segal), and then counts on the friendship of taxi driver James (John Travolta) once she discovers Albert is a lying cad. Although Mikey likes James, and James cares for both the baby and Mollie, she isn't sure she can settle down with a blue-collar boyfriend.

Critics Consensus

Look Who's Talking holds some appeal thanks to its affable stars and Amy Heckerling's energetic direction, but a silly script doesn't allow wit to get a word in edgewise.

Like a standup comic pouring 'flopsweat', this ill-conceived comedy about an infant whose thoughts are given voice by actor Bruce Willis palpitates with desperation.

Heckerling directs this dippy but delightful film with a light, zany touch and a reasonably low yuck-factor (dribbles notwithstanding).

I laughed a lot more than I expected to. The soundtrack is fantastic and the chemistry between Travolta and Alley was undeniable. The talking baby stuff is still creepy though.

Look Who’s Talking would be complete goulash if it were not for Alley’s charm and comic timing.

I’m not sure why this comedy turned out mediocre when it starred two household names whose chemistry was apparent. Whether it’s the lame story or the unfunny script, Look Who’s Talking is best as a pastime for a boring day.

LOVE this movie! I've watched all of them since I was little. Love John Travolta and Kirstie Alleys chemistry and how they make magic on screen! Definitely one of my favorites

Following the sad passing of Kirstie Alley, my wife and I decided to watch one of her films we had not seen before. What a gem of a film! Funny, engaging, a lovely story, and a great character brought to life by the very talented Kirstie. I also loved the whole 1980s feel of the movie—brilliant film and well worth a watch.
