If you loved Ishtar

In the history of film, only rarely is a movie unanimously reviled. Well... the long delay that followed Showgirls is now over.

Presenting the film that only the free market could produce:
Superbabies / Baby Geniuses 2 starring Jon Voight and Scott Baio (!)

The critics rave:

  • "Most of the movie is set in the babies secret lair, which looks like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory as interpreted by the prom committee."
  • "Jon "I've Hit Rock Bottom and I Can't Get Up" Voight fashions a ridiculous German accent to play a goose-stepping media mogul."
  • "After starring in this movie, a Joanie Loves Chachi reunion special must look pretty good to Scott Baio. Even a Charles In Charge pot luck supper with Willie Aames's special brownies would be a better option than this."
  • "Features toddlers acting in a way collectors of velvet paintings will find irresistible."
  • "...lots of lame jokes where tots say stuff like “off the hook” and “da bomb.”
  • "It even has cameos from Whoopi Goldberg and O-Town."
  • "Whoever gave this the green light should be spanked."
Worst of all, this trainwreck is stinking up the genre for my script I hope to finish someday; Baby Vampires.
I'm kinda sorry I have no time to go see this!
