hyped garbage
Admirable film.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Third movie in the series, kids talk on there own now, now it the dogs turn to talk. I grew up talking dogs, So I never really Grown out of these kinda of movies. I love them, I also really enjoyed this movie, This movie was very funny for both parents and kids, there are really great jokes that really work.However this movie as some Xmas moments but never really felt like Xmas movie. all the way thought. Decent Family movie, I love dogs, you will enjoy this more. 6 out of 10
(Credit IMDb) In this, the third film, it's the pets that do the talking. The Ubriacco's find themselves the owners of two dogs, Rocks, a street wise cross breed, and Daphne, a spoiled pedigree poodle. James has a new job, pilot to the sexy and lonely Samantha. Mollie's just lost hers and is stuck at homeAfter such a cute movie that the first produced, we were treated with a mediocre sequel, then a travesty. Who in there right mind thought this was a good idea? Pets talking didn't cut it for me, and obviously plenty of others, when this tanked miserably at the box office. I didn't laugh once during this movie. In fact I felt sorry for solid talent like Travolta and Alley for having to star in such a pathetic mess. One of the most laughable scenes for me, that obviously tried to come off as cutesy was when Travolta's daughter has a crush on Charles Barkley, and has a scene with him on the basketball court. Also, the pets. What was this, Lady and The Tramp? Performances. John Travolta tries to charm his way through this mess, but can only do so much with the terrible material. He's certainly far from bad, but he's not exactly in the position to do much with his performance. Kirstie Alley also tries her hardest, but much like Travolta, she can only do so much. The kids are OK, as are the voices.Bottom line. Did they not get the memo on the 2nd one? This was clearly unwarranted, and the results showed that. The 2nd one isn't worth it, neither is this turd. Avoid, stick with the cute 1st.2 ½ /10
What can be said? In an attempt to milk the "celebrity voices something that doesn't have it's own speaking voice" schtick, the Look Who's Talking series wanders from babies (which they did twice) to dogs. I half-expected them to continue the series after this outing by focusing on the talking tapeworms in Kirstie Alley's stomach or some similar thing.Sure, it's cute and has its moments, but ultimately this movie's a big fluffy nothing with Danny DeVito doing some of the worst voice work of his career, and Diane Keaton doing the worst acting of her entire life, voice or not. How many "awwww" moments does it take to get to the sappy center of a "Look Who's Talking" movie? The world really doesn't need to know.
OK, yes, I do think we are all a little sick of the Look Who's Talking sequels, even though I did enjoy Look Who's Talking Too, it was just taking a really great concept and not putting the effort into it. Look Who's Talking Now is just plain pathetic on the level that it's more for the kids vs. the adults, I think because they found that Look Who's Talking had a children's love as well as an adult's, because it was just all together a great comedy. With Look Who's Talking Now, we have a more "family friendly" movie with puppies that surprise, surprise talk. Not to mention that the silly plot line that they put in where it seems like the dogs more revolve around the characters instead of the characters we have grown to love.A young cross bred puppy is up for sale and we can hear him talking, he sees Mikey passing by him and begs him to take him home. Mikey however has to hurry past in tow of his mother, and two harsh looking individuals buy the puppy. The puppy manages to escape them and starts his life as a stray. James is a private air pilot working for Samantha, who we see has a crush on him and is always trying to extend the trips to spend more time with him. Mikey tells Santa that he wants a dog for Christmas, James feels the time has come to give Mikey the present he has always wished for and tells his boss Samantha about this. In the meantime, Mollie is a top accountant at her firm but because her salary is so high, she is suddenly fired in order for the firm to save money. Unable to acquire a decent job, Molly gets a job as one of the Elves for the mall Santa for the holiday season. During a visit, Mikey discovers to his horror that that Santa Claus is a fake and becomes upset with disbelief. One day though the dog gets caught by the animal rescue force and taken to a kennel, where several other dogs are kept - presumably also found on the streets. The dog is about to be put to sleep on the same day that James brings Mikey to the kennel to select a dog, overjoyed Mikey bumps into the dog he saw as a pup, and takes an instant liking to him and decides to take him home. When James, Mikey and Rocks the dog get home, they see that Samantha is at their house and has brought over her dog Daphne who is highly trained and she wants James to have it as a present from her. Molly discovers that James had gone and gotten a dog for Mikey without discussing it with them and after a brief argument, they can't take Rocks back to the kennel or he will be put to sleep, and James does not want to offend Samantha by refusing Daphne. And now realize they are stuck with two dogs. And of course these dogs talk as well to narrate the story that Mikey cannot narrate any more.Is Looking Who's Talking Now the worst movie ever? No, not really, it's certainly not terrible, but it's just pointless. It was just a different way of making money off of the franchise. I think that this is a silly movie, but it did have a couple of random laughs here and there, but for the most part it's just silly with the whole story between James and his new boss, Samantha who has a crush on him, more like an obsessive crush where she just throws herself at him, maybe she saw those Welcome Back, Kotter episodes one too many times and was in love with Vinnie Barbarino. But anyways, I wouldn't really recommend this movie to too many people, more for the really young kids who just wanna see really cute puppies, that's about it. This movie doesn't have much to offer except for puppy love! Oh, you know I had to make a lame joke.2/10
