Nathan Rabin, AV Club: Baby Geniuses' ramshackle plot serves merely as a launching pad for nearly two hours of jokes revolving around the idea of babies who talk and behave like bad stand-up comedians. Read more

Janet Maslin, New York Times: One way to get through Baby Geniuses is to think about whether it really is the worst movie you've ever seen. Probably not, but pretty darn close. Read more

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: The hokey dialogue and witless physical gags keep everything painful and hectoring. Read more

Jeff Millar, Houston Chronicle: If the remainder of this century will bring a lamer film than Baby Geniuses, may I please be in Estonia when it comes. Read more

Paul Tatara, CNN.com: Story? Who cares. Character development? That's for show-offs. Funny dialogue? Too hard to write. These babies can talk!! Read more

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: The movie is about as endearing as unanesthetized gum surgery. Read more

F.X. Feeney, L.A. Weekly: There are ticklish moments, but no real laughs. Read more

James Berardinelli, ReelViews: I'll admit to chuckling a few times during the proceedings, but it's not worth losing 1 1/2 hours of one's life for a few minutes of amusement. Read more

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Bad films are easy to make, but a film as unpleasant as Baby Geniuses achieves a kind of grandeur. Read more

Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle: The film has a freak-show quality. Read more

Lael Loewenstein, Variety: A thoroughly misguided, unfunny film. Read more
