7/10
fun enjoyable gimmick
20 April 2015
Mollie (Kirstie Alley) is an accountant following her mother Rosie (Olympia Dukakis). She has an affair with her married client Albert (George Segal). She becomes pregnant with Mikey (Bruce Willis) while Albert keeps stringing her along. She catches Albert with his interior decorator Melissa. Cabbie James (John Travolta) drives her to the hospital. Later, he starts using her place to fake residence in Manhattan for his grandpa (Abe Vigoda) and also babysits Mikey. They fall in love but she resists.

The movie needs to cut out some of the beginning. Alley is forced to carry the whole thing by herself. It's not particularly funny. Much of it could be trimmed. It improves when Travolta shows up. Travolta and Alley have good comedic banter. The gimmick of talking babies have some fun moments. Willis is good and it's light fun. It's even funnier when the kid grows a little older and more adorable. There are some unevenness but overall it's fun likable comedy.
