Another movie you could only get away with in the 80's
27 January 2006
In 1989 this was like the hugest movie ever. Haven't seen it for a long time, which frustrates me because daytime movies are littered with movies you've never heard of with ridiculous titles like "Sudden Betrayal" or "Fatal Death". What about classics like this? The movie revolves around Mikey (voiced by Bruce Willis, in some of his finest work, right up there with "Moonlighting" and "Die Hard With A Vengeance"). Mikey can talk, but only in his head (huh?). Mikey's mum Mollie (Kirstie Alley before the Jenny Craig times) struggles to raise Mikey plus hold a relationship with a man. That is until James (John Travolta, in the early days of his revival, although starring in this has to be a major asterisk on his career) comes along. James wants to be a good partner and is great with Mikey.

Poplular in it's day, but I bet it's aged by now.
