from Film Forum, 09/02/04"The race is close between Super Babies, Catwoman, and Yu-Gi-Oh! for the worst film of 2004," reports Douglas Downs (Christian Spotlight).
Indeed, Super Babies: Baby Geniuses 2, this week's second unnecessary, unrequested sequel, is drawing some of the worst reviews of the year. It's about babies who conspire to stop an evil villain from using his spy-satellites to control the minds of the world population.
Michael Elliott (Movie Parables) says, "There are good films. There are bad films. Then, there are the headscratchers—films that are so fundamentally bad we cannot but help wondering how or why they ever got made in the first place. It is in this latter category that Super Babies: Baby Geniuses 2 belongs."
Adam R. Holz (Plugged In) says it's "dreadful … [a] disaster on too many levels to count. I've often heard Philippians 4:8 quoted in the context of media discernment as it relates to content. But I wonder if we don't need to apply it to a movie such as Super Babies as well. It's not impure and offensive in the way, say, Kill Bill is, but surely its absolute mediocrity is anything but excellent or praiseworthy."
So far, Rotten Tomatoes can't find a mainstream critic who approves of the film.
