Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2

Plot synopsis:
The film starts with a group of babies in a day care centre...or something. Archie tells the others (Finkelman, Alex, and Rosita) a story about a super baby called Kahuna. Kahuna rescues kids all around the world. According to Archie, Kahuna rescued a group of children from an orphanage run by the evil (and unbelievably stereotypical) Kane. Kahuna and Kane are archnemesis' and hate each other, but Kahuna always wins their battles.Archie's father Stan, who seems to own the day care centre, is letting it be used as a television set by the evil Biscane (yes, in other words, Kane) who is starting up his own TV channel. Archie notices someone spying on the goings-on at the television set in the bushes, but he isn't sure who it is. However, he begins to believe Biscane is evil. Him and the other babies sneak into Stan's office and decide to check out Biscane, but are spammed. When they hear some of Biscane's cronies approaching, Rosita, Alex and Finkelman run away, leaving Archie by himself. Archie overhears the cronies talking about Biscane's plan, but he doesn't really understand it. However, he accidentally attracts their attention, but before they can get him, he is rescued by, you've guessed it, Kahuna, who is in fact REAL. (Of course.) But then Kahuna leaves and the other babies don't believe Archie.Kylie, Archie's older cousin and Stan's neice, takes them all out to the chidren's museum, but not before bumping into a cronie (who everyone thinks is the film crew) and a disc falls into the pushchair. On the way to the museum they are stopped by loads of Biscane's other cronies. But Kahuna rescues them all, and the babies realise that Archie was telling the truth. Kahuna takes them all to his base in Hollywood, where they meet Zack, whom Kahuna took in years ago. Kahuna's base is in fact a huge playground, and Kylie finds it...weird. (Which it is.) Kahuna transforms the babies into superbabies: Archie is brain boy, Alex is bounce boy, Rosita is Cupid Girl, and Finkelman is Courage boy. But they don't think these super alter-egos fit their personalities, and they tell Kahuna to change them back to normal. Which he does.After convincing Stan and Archie's mother that they (Kylie and all the baies) are okay, Archie asks Kahuna to tell him where he got his powers from. But he refuses...so Archie eavesdrops on Zack and Kylie. Zack tells Kylie that Kahuna's father was a scientist and developed a formula of some sort, which Kahuna drank, and he was transformed into a super baby, but he is stuck as a child forever. (In other words, he's about 70 but stuck in the body of a 7 year old.) Kahuna's brother didn't like it that everyone thought he and his family were freaks. When the father died, despite Kahuna being 18, he was put into an orphanage, but he escaped, and set out to rescue babies and children everywhere, and in the words of Zack, "a legend was born." (As you can see, not cheesy at all.)The next day, Zack and Kylie find the disc that magically managed to travel from the pushchair into Kylie's bag...(or at least that's what it looked like to me.) Zack gives it to Kahuna. Then Zack and Kylie go for a picnic on the hills and they kiss, when Zack gets a message from Kahuna. On the disc is a clip of the programme that is to be aired on Biscane's TV channel, followed by lots of seemingly random code. They FINALLY realise that Biscane is up to no good, and set out to see what is going on.Zack, posing as a policeman, and the babies, watch as Biscane counts down til his channel is to be aired on TV. But Kahuna, who has worked out his plan to control the world (there's a new one) stops him and destroys the satellites- before disappearing. (Oh no.) Archie and the other three don't know what to do- they think they can't go on without Kahuna. But in fact, all they need to do is believe in themselves. They all decide to go and become their super alter-egos-for Kahuna. (As I've said before, not cheesy in the slightest.) With Stan, Archie's mum, Kylie and Zack with them, they return to Kahuna's hideout and become Bounce Boy, Cupid Girl, Brain Boy and Courageous Boy.Then Kahuna arrives, followed by Biscane and his cronies. But after defeating all the cronies, Biscane still gets the disc he needs and begins to air the TV clip on TV. It's also revealed that he is Kahuna's older brother (plot twist of the century) and he hates Kahuna for being their dad's favourite. Now Kahuna and Biscane have always been fighting, ever since Kahuna escaped from the orphanage- Biscane always wanted to be young forever, that's why he hates children, and Kahuna needed to save all the children from his evil brother.Anyway, the babies kick Biscane into the...thing resembling a carousel that transformed them into their super selves and he, wanting to become everything he's ever wanted, presses a button that wasn't there before and becomes a baby, much to his despair. But "thankfully" his cronies promise to look after him.Kahuna reverses the transmission posing as the TV clip Biscane is airing and all the children decide to run outside and play tag. Yes, apparently every child in the world starts playing tag. Now that their work is done, Kahuna tells Archie that he must go and though they'll always be friends, Archie must stay with his family and Kahuna must go and save kids.In the ending scenes, Zack meets his mother (Kahuna had rescued him from...somewhere but Kahuna could never find Zack's parents, so that's why he took him in to live with him.) Zack and Kylie are dating, apparently, and Archie, running outside, sees Kahuna in the flying vehicle who waves at him and yells something about he'll always be a hero. The film ends (thankfully) with Archie waving at the sky and audience members crying in their seats.

Review:
I don't know why most people are so bigoted and prejudiced about a great funny movie like Baby Geniuses.I never forced anyone to speak positively about a movie they detest but to tell the truth to underestimate a family movie with a great actress like Kathleen Turner in it is quite unfair!.
My vote was fair in giving this masterpiece movie 10/10.I already bought The DVD and dying to see the 3rd part of Baby Geniuses..
Superbabies:Baby Geniuses 2 is a perfect movie for kids.
It is unfair to see some unjust critics harshly criticizing entertaining and good children movies because they are not paid from movie makers .Four genius babies play detectives and cleverly fighting evil.Media mogul Bill Biscane kidnaps innocent children everywhere and there is a cute and smart child called Kahuna who after drinking a special chemical he becomes a strong kid just like a superman, he changes into a super-baby to fight evil and rescue the lives of his friends.I have absolutely enjoyed watching this stunning movie.Alas it is too good to be under-rated!..
And she's right: Archie is telling the other toddlers about the legend of Kahuna, a 7-year-old überspy who prevented the evil Nazi-like commander Kane's plot to enslave orphaned East German children.The other babies dismiss Archie's tall tale.
Along the way, Kahuna empowers the babies to believe in themselves, revealing each one's superpower!.This movie is so great .I still do not know why it is heavily underrated.
The plot makes no sense and there's nothing holding the movie together, it's like the director made it terrible on purpose just to torture whoever sees it.
Before watching Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2, you need to ask yourself; "Am I ready for the most beautiful piece of artful wonder ever to be handed down through the vestiges of man's wisdom?".
Before I watched Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2, I would lay in my bed thinking to myself "All I want out of life is to watch a movie centered upon extremely smart toddlers saving people." You may be wondering "Is Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2, really as good as you say it is?" The only answer to this question is through watching this awesome achievement of writing and filmography.
Thank god people make movies like that !The plot is about babies.
The story is so deep it just brings you into this world the movie has made, every time I re watch this masterpiece I am always shocked at little things that I missed before.
This film is about a group of toddlers who hear the legend about the Kahuna, a Peter Pan-like kid and his nemesis (Jon Voigt.) Voigt is creating something attached to tvs that control people's minds and the group accidentally retrieve a disc of his for the tvs and are about to be ambushed when the Kahuna himself saves them.
Watch this incredible, flawless film and quit wasting your time with "Pulp Fiction", and "Taxi Driver", and other junk movies..
I understand its not exactly "the godfather" or the original "baby geniuses", however I think that the cinematography and the acting prowess of John Voight set this film apart as one that all children should see.
But don't worry though, the SUPER BABIES come in and stops the bad guy.This movie is perfect in every way possible.
This movie is quite possibly Scott Baio's best performance...Although he is ignored by the wonderful and delightful performances by John Voight and the babies, Scott Baio's performance could go right up their with Marlon Brando's performance in THE GODFATHER and Vivian Leigh's performance in GONE WITH THE WIND.
OK, so the plot Is a little silly and the effects aren't exactly top- notch, but come on all you detractors - this movie Is aimed at 6-YEAR- OLDS, for goodness sake!
This movie Is a laugh and a bit of imagination fun for the little-ones and It does It's job - the sets and effects are poor because they don't need to be any better and after all the whole thing Is pretty tongue-In-cheek!
this is one of the best films I've ever watched in my life when it was released i went to the cinema with my mum and we thought it was great i watched it week after week day after day i would rate it 10 out of 10.I'm not sure because i don't understand it but i think that its is about some well cool babies that get really clever and then they save the day.the reason that i think it is so good is because it has got a great plot.
But luckily there are the super babies, the defenders of all good.I'm sure you are beginning to understand that with this kind of elements this movie simply cannot be bad, it's just a victim of some immature teenage gang that tries to prevent it from achieving the glory it truly deserves.
Stop underrating movies like this and go put The Godfather where it belongs, because I can tell you this movie beats the heck out of godfather: I watch Superbabies 2 and The Godfather with my kids and we all fell asleep after 20 minutes from the beginning of The Godfather but even my kids understood the value of this masterpiece (though it's not actually made for children I think, there's some gore and fighting scenes that would surely shock even children over 16.) Of course Iunderstand that not everyone is capable to see the unlimited depths of the movie, it's just something so touching you can't describe it.
Well, considering that he's lending his name to "SuperBabies: Baby Geniuses 2," he clearly has a lot of time on his hands, doesn't consider any job too demeaning and probably won't charge too much.In case you're wondering why Voight would elect to appear in "SuperBabies," the follow-up to a movie he wasn't in, instead of "Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid" -- and don't pretend you don't remember the scene in the first "Anaconda" in which the gargantuan serpent swallows, then coughs up Voight -- here's a hint: Voight was an executive producer of the original "Baby Geniuses." Since that 1999 fiasco effectively torpedoed what was left of the screen careers of Christopher Lloyd and Kathleen Turner, it must have been a formidable challenge finding actors eager to strip themselves of every scintilla of dignity to perform alongside a bunch of feisty computer-generated toddlers (with the exception of Scott Baio and Vanessa Angel, of course).
It's a sad sight indeed.There are other four SuperBabies, too, and just prior to the climactic showdown with Biscane and his goons, this diaper-clad quartet jumps onto Kahuna's magic carousel, where they are transformed into Brain Boy (who wears a scaled-down cap and gown), Cupid Girl (who shoots arrows that cause grown men to stop fighting and hug each other instead), Bounce Baby (who is stuck inside an orange beach ball) and Baby Courageous (whose get-up proves that the only thing that looks worse than a grown man in a tacky hairpiece is a toddler in a bad toupee).Watching from the sidelines are Baio and Angel, as the dizzy owners of a highly questionable day care center in which most of the children parade around half-dressed, and Hilary Duff clone Skyler Shaye and Frankie Muniz lookalike Justin Chatwin, who attempt to provide a bit of squeaky-clean teen love interest -- not exactly what the target audience of 6-year-olds is itching to see.As was the case with "Baby Geniuses," the movie contains a surplus of awkward-looking digital effects that are supposed to convince us the wee ones are actually making wisecracks and running wild.
If "SuperBabies" is marginally better than the excruciating "Geniuses" -- and you sure wouldn't want to live on the difference -- it's because director Bob Clark and screenwriter Gregory Poppen don't shoehorn in nearly as much innuendo or smarminess this time around; they're equally stingy with charm and imagination as well.By the way, Voight's next project is called "The Karate Dog," in which he'll co-star with Simon Rex, Pat Morita and Chevy Chase, who'll provide "the voice of Cho-Cho," according to the Internet Movie Database.
"Baby Geniuses 2" is not one of them.I wasn't expecting Oscar material when I took my seven year old to see Bob Clark's latest film.
Thank goodness these don't come along that often.Other than a flatulence joke in the first 5 minutes of the film (now a requirement for children's cinema), the laughs were few and far between in the remaining 90 minutes of this movie.
Now I volunteer to watch bad movies, and I'm easily amused, but I had no idea it would be like this.
Yeah, the moral is children are idiots, parents are suckers, and you'll watch our brain-damaging movies and like them.
And I would rather be nailed to a chair and forced to watch those three films back to back for a week, than sit through this piece of s**t movie, ever again.For the record, I had a blinding headache after the first 20 minutes, the four year old threw up, and the nine year old fell asleep.
It may amuse Neo-Nazi's for Jon Voights portrayal of the head goof of a brainwashing enterprise or some such thing.I think that's the point but I'm not sure the script is so perfectly dreadful .I may have missed it.But that appears to be it though why they would experiment in a day care center run by Chachy(Scott Baio)I am unclear on.
Worst of all my 7 year old son didn't think it was bad so this film could actually make money and could be heading for your VCR (if you have kids) soon.
Okay, the first movie from this series "Baby Geniuses" was so poorly received that reviewers were beside themselves castigating the film.
Unlike the first horrible piece of garbage that is "Baby Geniuses", this film manages to be significantly worse for several important reasons: 1.
"Baby Geniuses 2" has some of the absolute worst computer work I've seen in a recent film.
It's like going to a movie with an annoying kid sitting next to you who thinks he's the host of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and talks throughout--but in reality, he is just an obnoxious child who won't shut up.
In many ways, "Baby Geniuses 2" is like the first film merged with "Spy Kids 2"--another bad kids film.
But Superbabies:Baby Geniuses 2 brings the phrase "terrible movie" to a new level.
All in all, Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 was nothing more than a piece of garbage, that was the low point of Jon Voight's acting career.
I do not know why Jon voight would even want to star in this poor excuse for a movie.Saw this at thanksgiving and left the room after 5 minutes, Yes folks this movie is really that bad.The baby's' are unimaginative and poorly portrayed, Bounce Baby??
come on I could come up with a better idea that that if I was drunk.Then again you would have to be drunk to sit through this one.Just watch the way the voices sync up with the mouths and you will see what I am talking about, Remember to bring the eye soap!!This movie is garbage, Nuff Said!!.
And seriously, I think I actually repressed this movie deep into my subconscious, it was that traumatic.and I still carry the mental scars and I must live with the perpetual, everlasting shame of ever agreeing to watch it.I do remember one part that I found particularly excruciating, and I haven't been able to repress it:at the end when that kid finds his mother or whatever and introduced her to his girlfriend type person, and is like "this is my...m-mother"don't give me that fake dramatic "touching moment", dear lord.and I'm not putting the spoiler thing on for that because its not a spoiler because this turd sandwich has nothing to spoil..
The viewer is left unable to understand the script and unable to comprehend the plot.I can only guess that people thought looking at babies walking around in diapers, talking gibberish, would be sweet.
Did the writers actually believe this would get better ratings if people saw something from "The Great Escape" in this movie except with babies as prisoners?
(As of 10/17/05 it is #3.) To get an idea of how awful this abomination is, think of the worst five seconds of acting, cinematography, plot lines, lighting, directing, and so on, that you've ever seen in your life.
The only reason I went was because we had a group of about 15 film majors that thought it would be funny to all go see the late-night showing of this movie.
I had to sit through this garbage while watching some kids one day, and I knew this movie wasn't good when even the kids lost interest a few minutes in.
But when I see Voight perform in this movie, I wonder to myself "Why?" He's done some good work of late, notably in Holes and National Treasure, and then he plays some sort of super villain with a bad German accent who is derailed by 2 year-olds.
No Wonder Jon Voight got nominated for a Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actor, he was worse than Sylvester Stallone in Spy Kids 3-D Game Over.One more thing, for those of you who have never seen this movie, your lucky..
It is, quite simply, the worst movie ever made...it's worse than Glitter, it's worse than Battlefield Earth, it's even worse than the original Baby Geniuses.
Do not watch it...it truly is the worst movie ever made...and I've seen some pretty terrible films..
I am very very very sure this movie will go back and back to be at the bottom.Why they make a very bad bad movie like baby geniuses?.Do not buy this DVD!.
All you need to know about Baby Geniuses 2 is this:On IMDb's list of the lowest rated movies of all time, according to a user vote, this film comes in second place to a propaganda film for a fascist government run by a murderous dictator.So why did I bother reviewing it?
Okay, so, we bought this on DVD with the first Baby Geniuses, thought it would be good.Boy were we wrong.This is the first movie in which me and my family actually TURNED OFF a quarter of the way through.
It was awful, absolutely awful.Although, little (3 year olds) like this movie, so it's a nice thing to have on hand to waste two hours of your little kid's life...if you feel willing to pay $10 to get it.My advice: don't see, get or rent this movie.1/10.
I have never seen this film at the cinema or advertised on T.V so I have never watched it but it looks terrible The writers must have been high when they came up with secret agent babies, spy kids is OK but this is something ells.
Superbabies the sequel to the horrible Baby Geniuses is unbearable.The animation on the children's mouths are absolutely noticeable and the dialog is poor and poorly delivered.This film is full of awful one liners and the script makes Power Rangers look like Pulp Fiction.The acting is very bad and boring and the characters are paper thin,ridiculous,unbelievable,and at times stereotypical.Lines like "What kinda milk have you been drinkin" of course coming from the black baby are funny only if you're into Bob Sagets comedy routines.The effects are beyond brutal and storyline is ludicrous,cheesy,corny,generic,stupid,and unintentionally laughable.Superbabies pretty much took the cheesiest line from every children's movie and mushed it into a script.This sequel is bad to the bone and unbelievably stupid.This must have been written by a cat on weed because when you're wishing you were watching teletubbies instead you know something is wrong.The only way I'll watch this again is if I'm wearing a straight jacket and surrounded by men with guns..
We know they screwed Lemony Snickets' book but this...(which came out the same year) is just a bad excuse for a movie, it does belong in the trash dump...just like a diaper.
They win, hallelujah.Of course, we're not talking about that movie, we're talking about the ACTUAL SEQUEL "Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2".How this thing got green lit, I have no idea.
For an adult film, this lacks actors, a story, a plot, a writer, and for that matter, reason.Avoid this movie like the black plague..
There are only so many Disney and Dreamworks films you can rent so I occasionally take my chances on new releases that "look good enough".I should have looked closer, while Baby Geniuses (yes I rented that one as a new release as it came out) was a mediocre movie, it was cute and funny at times and my kids liked it.
i want my money back,who ever thought this movie upand those who made it should beashamed of themselves and their work.this is the worst garbage i have everseen for a film- my kids were fallingasleep!
If you think bad movies are watchable, don't watch this.Yes...like most people have warned.
DO NOT waste your time or money when there are plenty of other movies worth watching, this make House of the Dead look good..I was generous and gave this a 2/10....
So if anyone wants to check out a bad movie, then this is your textbook example of one of the worst films made..
Those babies are so annoying the plot makes no sense and the acting is so horrible you would think none of them(being the adults) had ever been on film before, but it turns out to just be a really horrible script.
The first BABY GENIUSES movie was pretty bad but I gave the filmmakers credit for at least trying to do something original even if the story itself was a bit too creepy to actually work.
SUPERBABIES: BABY GENIUSES 2 is a very bad movie but with that said I don't think I'd call it one of the worst ever, which is where it's reputation is at.
