Review

A cute little comedy about a baby whose newborn thoughts and experiences are vented to us from a semi-grown-up perspective by Bruce Willis. The angle is equal measures funny and moronic, which probably helps explain the film’s enormous box-office success. It was the fourth highest-grossing film of 1989 in the United States. And it helped consolidate and reboot the careers of Kirstie Alley and John Travolta, respectively. The writer/director was Amy Heckerling (Fast Times at Ridgemont High) and her work obviously was just about unsubtle enough to create a common ground for large movie audiences of both sexes. Followed by two sequels.
