Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 MPAA Rating: PG Entertainment: +1/2 Content: -1/2

Superbabies is the sequel to the 1999 comedy Baby Geniuses. This episode builds on the premise of the first film namely, that baby talk is actually an advanced form of communication forgotten by most adults. This time, the babies discover an evil plot orchestrated by the power-hungry Bill Biscane (John Voight). Biscanes media empire, in partnership with clueless day-care owners Stan (Scott Baio) and Jean (Vanessa Angel) Bobbins, plans to start a new television network for children. But hidden beneath the seemingly harmless programming are subliminal messages that will help Biscane control the minds of both children and adults around the world. Biscanes arch rival, the superbaby Kahuna (Gerry, Leo and Myles Fitzgerald), shows up and enlists the help of the other babies, giving them superpowers and encouraging them to believe that they can stop Biscane if they work together.

Superbabies is a waste of time. There are cute moments, but they are unfortunately brief. Its hard to imagine that anyone would be amused by this film. And even if children do enjoy it, the film has nothing to engage or interest adults who might want to take their kids to see it. The film is simply an unintelligent failure at entertainment. Preview had hoped that a film like Superbabies could be acceptable for Christian audiences even if it didnt have a strong storyline or much artistic value. But it falls short even in acceptability. Characters use profane expressions and rude humor, children engage in comedic violence, and the film includes a tribute to eastern religious philosophy. In one scene, the superhero child is shown in a lotus position, levitating several feet above the ground and explaining the need to synchronize the mind and body. Preview recommends that you avoid wasting your time and money on Superbabies.
