# Look Who's Talking (1989)

May 4, 2025 | Rated 3 out of 5 | Dir. Amy Heckerling

As someone who has seen baby geniuses? I did not know that a talking baby movie could be funny. And I actually laughed

Also, John Travolta was very handsome this movie and should be required by federal law to dance at every movie he’s in.

Pre-Hudson Hawke Bruce Willis at his funniest????

Also, I was very impressed with that fetus puppet until I wasn’t then I was very scared of how he looked. But seriously, how do they film that sperm scene? Someone please actually tell me.
