Fun, amusing and entertaining!

In this second installment of the "Look Who's Talking" series, baby Mikey is back with a little sister along for the ride. Mikey has succeeded in getting his mom together with his ideal dad, James, only to find out that his mom is pregnant! Soon baby Julie is born, and Mikey feels like he's been left in her shadow. To make matters worse, Mollie's slovenly (but amusing and endearing) brother Stuart arrives for a visit, driving an even bigger wedge in a rift between Mollie and James. Along the way, Mikey faces the challenges of toddler-dom, including potty training and sibling rivalry.

One of the highest points in this film is the wonderful chemistry between Kirstie Alley and John Travolta. The two make a good pair and an excellent feuding couple when they face off. Also adding to the charm of the film are its costars -- Elias Koteas as Stuart, and returning players from Look Who's Talking: Twink Kaplan as Mollie's gal pal Rona, and Olympia Dukakis as Mollie's feisty mom Rosie. But truly the shining glory (if it can really be called that) in this film are the kids. The little boy who plays Mikey exhibits an impressive talent for someone of his age -- if only everyone could get a 2 year-old to do exactly what they wanted, parenting would be so much easier! Also, the baby chosen to portray Julie for most of the film was absolutely one of the most adorable children I have ever seen. Of course, though, let's not forget what makes these children so likeable -- the outstanding actors who give them their voices. Bruce Willis returns as the voice of Mikey, while comedienne and then-sitcom star Roseanne gives voice to the hilarious baby Julie.

If at all humanly possible, I try to find the good in all films, and on the whole, I found Look Who's Talking Too to be a warm and delightful family film -- fun for parents to watch with the kids, although as always, parents should exercise guidance before watching with kids -- the film carries a PG-13 rating from the MPAA for its adult-oriented humor. Although it's not a film festival favorite or an Oscar contender, it's a fun enough way to spend a Friday night. The plot is light, but the film never tries to be anything more than what it is. On the whole, I'd give the film a 7 out of 10, although I voted it a 10 out of 10 on the site, if only to boost up the average rating of 3.6 I feel it unjustly received. A good rental and definitely a great addition to your family's video collection.
