Only a mother or a certified baby-phile could love this John Hughes comedy (he wrote and coproduced it). Aside from that endorsement, the diaper starts to stink. Baby Bink is kidnapped by three inept crooks, but the child escapes from their hideaway, leading to a chase through the city. Bink's journey follows the story line of his favorite bedtime book, Baby's Day Out, and he goes to a zoo, a construction site, and a retirement center. Hughes is following his accountant's favorite bedtime tale, "Let's rewrite Home Alone again," but with very little of the humor or impact of that smash. A number of scenes center on the crushing or incineration of Joe Mantegna's groin, not exactly family-fare yuks. There are some moments of levity with the crooks and a gorilla. --Keith Simanton

Customer Reviews

THREE STOOGES FOR THE NINETIES
BABY'S DAY OUT is utterly ridiculous and preposterous, but it's also entertaining and has some real moments of hilarity. Joe Mantegna, Brian Haley and Joe Pantoliano are perfect as the modern three stooges who kidnap the baby of a wealthy family, but lose the baby and go on a rampage to rekidnap the tyke. With some fun special effects, improbable scenarios and slapstick humor, the movie is wildly entertaining. The scene where Joe Mantegna is trying to protect his private areas from the baby's lighter is priceless. Haley is especially funny as the big oaf and Lara Flynn Boyle, Cynthia Nixon and Matthew Gleve add fine support. It's all mindless but it's so funny who cares??

Two grown up and two kid thumbs up!
Really a good family movie--our 6 and 3 1/2 year olds love to watch again and again--and we don't mind not having to listen to Pokemon and Barney, either (at least for a few hours!)

A slapstick extravaganza with likable villains and a baby
The first time I saw this movie, I laughed until I couldn't breathe. It harkens back to the very best Sweet Pea / Popeye cartoons, and involves three, otherwise very likeable, bumbling villain and a baby on the loose for his first taste of the world at large. Very good fun.
