diaper gravy

Just what I always wanted: to hear babies recycle stale catch-phrases from other movies (if you just can't get enough of the words "show me the money", this is the movie for you).

It would be a waste of time for me to describe what is bad about this movie, because EVERYTHING is bad - the writing, the directing, the acting... This is the only film I know that causes actual physical pain. Don't be surprised if viewing of this film is followed by repeated fits of vomiting. By the time the phrase 'diaper gravy' was used for the third time, I realized that that's exactly what this movie consists of. The worst film I have seen in my life. And yet... as the worst movie ever made, it holds an undeniable fascination.

I give Baby Geniuses a 1, only because zero isn't an option
