John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: More than just another sequel that no one was clamoring to see, this is that rare follow-up that's actually twice as good as the original and is still a piece of junk. Read more
Ellen Fox, Chicago Tribune: That's the thing about children when it comes to movies: They're not that discriminating. They can be perilously easy to please, which is why it's important that their parents protect them from films like Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2. Read more
Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times: This interminable Pampers commercial has the nerve to end with a 'TV is rotten for kids' message, when the movie itself would do far more to stunt a child's imagination (or cause a kid to burst into tears) than anything currently on television. Read more
Lou Lumenick, New York Post: The sort of incoherent mess that invariably goes straight to video. Read more
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader: Excruciating. Read more
Joanne Kaufman, Wall Street Journal: Unspeakably ghastly. Read more
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle: Whatever wit could be mined from the idea of breaking the code to baby talk was exhausted in the original Baby Geniuses five years ago. Read more
Nathan Rabin, AV Club: Why? Seriously, why? Why would anyone make a sequel to Baby Geniuses, a 1999 film whose existence, from its title on down, appeared to be a cruel joke about the gullibility of the lowest common denominator? Read more
Leighton Walter Kille, Boston Globe: There's what one can only hope is the last-ever Matrix tribute/theft, plus a mostly unfunny stew of references to the Three Stooges, Popeye, Mary Poppins, and even Casablanca. The overall effect is ghoulish. Read more
Tom Long, Detroit News: It is perhaps the most incompetent and least funny comic film ever made. There aren't even any good diaper jokes. Read more
Gregory Kirschling, Entertainment Weekly: The film's moral? Turn off the TV, young 'uns, and go outside and play! And avoid Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 matinees while you're at it. Read more
Nancy Churnin, Dallas Morning News: No worry about brainwashing kids through this movie, though. They probably won't be that entertained. Read more
Robert Abele, L.A. Weekly: It's lots of lame jokes where tots say stuff like 'off the hook' and 'da bomb.' Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: The shtick is as stale and over-processed as expired Froot Loops, with references that were dated even when the original was released. Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: Features even more toddlers acting in a way only collectors of velvet paintings will consider irresistible. Read more
Dave Kehr, New York Times: This is not so much Look Who's Talking as Look Who's Walloping. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: The action sequences are phony-looking; the dialogue sounds largely improvised on the fly; the laughs are few and far between; and the acting ... is, to put it kindly, wooden. Read more
