One wonders if Amy Heckerling has a thing about sex: not a positive thing but a negative thing, though this movie is not as anti-sex as Fast Times at Ridgemont High. The only two sexual encounters in this movie result in pregnancies, the first unwanted though the second is wanted. The first pregnancy is also very much a result from a sleazy guy married to a new age woman and uses all of his charm to get what he wants, and though he is a wonderful guy at the beginning, one quickly begins to see right through him.
This movie is about a woman who has a baby and the father is not really all that interested so she decides to search for another father. The cab driver that took her too the hospital ended up being in the operating theatre when the baby was born and ends up being the babysitter. The twist in this movie is that we hear the babies' thoughts, and Bruce Willis seems to be a natural at this. I can just picture Willis having a lot of fun doing Mikey's voice-over.
I guess this movie is working with an unusual concept, that of the baby's thoughts being heard, to drive the point of the fact that a baby needs a father. We have a couple of times when the baby wonders who the guy is that takes other babies away. Unfortunately the success of this movie meant that two sequels and a series were spawned from it which I don't think pushes the theme that this movie does.
Personally I find that this movie is not as funny as I remembered it to be. There are a few really good lines though I did not think that having the baby talk added that much to it. It is interesting to see how people misinterpret the baby's actions, such as Mikey pulling out a photo of Jack saying that he wants Jack as his father while the others think he wants to see photos.
Look Who's Talking was in its own way different when it hit the screens, but it was not that impacting that it sticks in the minds of people now. If mentioned we know what they are talking about but generally it has not gone away forgotten.
