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.

What to Know

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.

Variety Staff Variety 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. Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Geoff Andrew Time Out Heckerling directs this dippy but delightful film with a light, zany touch and a reasonably low yuck-factor (dribbles notwithstanding). Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) Rated: 3/5 Oct 19, 2003 Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn I was surprised to really enjoy this sweet story. The chemistry between the two leads was great. Rated: 4/5 Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn 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. Rated: 4/5 Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Andrew Sarris Video Review Look Who’s Talking would be complete goulash if it were not for Alley’s charm and comic timing. Rated: 3/4 Aug 5, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

natalia o Funny movie. Watched it again after 30 years and it's still a great watch, especially if you miss NY or if you are having a kid ❤️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review Joshua H It's alright,but nothing too special,only watch if you're bored Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Literally M Lame and cringy plot,the film truly wasted every single potential from being actually good Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/16/23 Full Review Kendra G 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 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/13/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Taking a unique approach to this concept, this movie tries its best to make light of one of the hardest circumstances to befall a mother. Despite making the ultimate bad decision to not only have an affair with a married man but to consequentially get pregnant from said married man. Watching the relationship of the 2 parents of Mikey, I could not help but question her motives as it was extremely obvious he was not committed to her and could come up with as many excuses as he needed to in order to keep her in line. I also was not entirely sure what predicament the wife was in as it continuously changed throughout the movie but we never actually saw her. Bruce Willis is alright as Mikey, his quips and quirky delivery work well for the 1 year old. The movie moves at an awkward pace and we really do not understand anyone's motivations truly. The characters are mostly all selfish people who use others for their own personal reasons and in the end, it almost costs Mikey his life. Not a complete recommend but this movie is funny at times and Travolta is very good in his role. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
