Sure there may be some predictabilities in the story and one or two rushed scenes, but Look Who's Talking is a very charming and funny film and significantly better than its sequels. It looks very nice, has a good soundtrack and has some likable characters too. The script also has a lot of funny and somewhat quotable parts too.
The direction is fine, as is the acting. Bruce Willis is perfect as the voice of Mikey, while John Travolta is equally wonderful with a great smile. And George Seagal comes very close to stealing the show as his character goes through a selfish phase.
Overall, charming and funny. Nothing outstanding, but it was great to watch and I enjoyed it very much. 8/10 Bethany Cox

This is certainly not my sort of film, but after my girlfriend began complaining we always watch my movies, I prepared myself for 90 minutes of fake laughter and smiling to keep her happy, after all who else was I gonna take to see the new 'Clint' movie out.
However the opening scene with the tadpoles set the way for 90 minutes of top notch comedy, not exactly a laugh a second sort of comedy like Scary Movie or The Naked Gun, but a more all round sort of comedy where most gags hit the mark, certainly a major difference to Scary Movie! The casting is spot on, one of the major differences to the sequel. Bruce Willis is a great choice to play the voice of Mikey, and John Travolta is fantastic. But for me it was George Segal who stole the show for me, playing Mikey's real father, who in his words is going through a 'selfish phase'.
Sadly the sequels are simply terrible, but this movie is one of the best comedies I've seen in a long time, and I gave it 8/10.

Good scenario isn't it: baby observes the world as an adult would with sarcastic quips and anecdotes. And the movie itself is also quite good. Although it has the neccessary light touch, it's also rather adulty. Films of this calibre wouldn't usually have quite so much innuendo and sex-talk in them. This doesn't take away from the overall enjoyment of the movie, but it certainly is surprising.
There's a good cast to back this up. Kirstie Alley is ideal as the sexy single mother. John Travolta repeats his character in Saturday Night Fever to a certain degree, which isn't a bad thing. Bruce Willis steals the show as the voice of the baby though.
The result is a pleasing and enjoyable little comedy so I recommend "Look Who's Talking". My IMDb rating: 6.7/10.

If genial is what you're after, then look no further. "Look Who's Talking" adds a maternity twist to the rom-com that, along with Heckerling's wit, makes this an altogether pleasing movie, even if you're not always keen on the subgenre.
This was clearly written from experience and it made a pile of money, so it's doing something right. But the movie's best feature, its ace-in-the-hole, is Bruce Willis, using his persona to lend adult humor to an infant. On paper, it's nuts, but it totally works.
"Look Who's Talking" is fluff, but it's well made, no question.
And while we're on the subject, picture this: you just made the king of action movies, you've got 5 mil in the bank, what's your next move?
Voicing a baby.
'80s Bruce was really somethin' I yell ya.

I have got to admit that i have wanted to watch this movie for a long time just because of John Travolta (who i adore in "Grease" and "Two of a Kind") and when i saw "Look who is Talking" available in Netflix i never wasted any time. But damn how awesome the performances by Travolta and especially by Kirstie Alley were delivered, and this one did feel like a romantic comedy...but with a very special baby involved in the middle.
Bruce Willis way of dubbing Mikey was hilarious, and i found myself laughing out loud many times because of it. I didn't know babies could be this sassy!

- TriviaAccording to Kirstie Alley in her memoir, she fell in love with John Travolta during filming, but she stayed faithful to her husband.
- GoofsIn the cab, on the way to the hospital, Mollie shouts that her water just broke and James looks back apparently seeing a mess, but when she gets to the hospital, her overalls are perfectly dry with no evidence of her water breaking.
- Crazy creditsAfter Pete Townshend's "Let My Love Open the Door" finishes playing, the remainder of the end credits have absolutely no other music or audio playing during them.
- Alternate versionsThe UK cinema version was cut by the BBFC to remove one use of the word 'fuck' during the childbirth scene. This was restored to all later releases.
