| Look Who's Talking | comment |
A 1989 comedy film directed by Amy Heckerling and starring John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, and the voice of Bruce Willis.Mollie Jensen (Alley) is an accountant living in New York City. She's been having an affair for quite some time with a wealthy married client, Albert (George Segal), who continuously makes excuses for why he hasn't left his wife yet. Mollie ends up pregnant, and Albert promises to support both her and the baby.But then, she finds Albert with another woman. The shock sends her into labor, and she is forced to take a cab driven by James Ubriacco (Travolta) to the hospital. James is a nice guy, sticking around and providing support all through the birth. A few days after, he shows up at her apartment to return her purse, which she had left in the cab. He immediately hits it off with Mollie's newborn son Mikey (Willis). Eventually, a relationship develops between the two adults, with baby Mikey commenting on it all the way.Let's face it, the real appeal is not in the romantic comedy plotline, but the fact that this time, we get the baby's POV on the matter.It was followed by two sequels. Look Who's Talking Too (1990) added Roseanne Barr as the voice of Mikey's newborn sister Julie and Damon Wayans as the voice of Mikey's best friend Eddie. In Look Who's Talking Now (1993), the children have grown to speaking age and so we see things instead from the new dogs of the Ubriacco family, Rocks (Danny DeVito) and Daphne (Diane Keaton). They didn't fare as well as the first one, with the first sequel even receiving two Razzie nominations. Also spawned a short-lived Spiritual Successor sitcom, Baby Talk, which ran for two seasons from 1991-1992. While the sitcom was a different continuity and none of the film's characters appear, the characters were created by Amy Heckerling, who wrote and directed the first film. | |

Evil Sounds Deep: When an unconcerned nurse tells Mollie to calm her breathing during her contractions ("You're not in aerobics class"), Mollie's voice goes to Demonic Possession levels screaming FUCK MY BREATHING! This receives a Call-Back in the sequel when she goes into labor at work and screams for somebody to get her to a fucking hospital in a similarly deep voice. | |

Eskimos Aren't Real: Somewhat averted. Baby Mikey is sitting awake at night scared. He lists various things he's worried about, and that they aren't real. This includes monsters, ghosts, witches, and dinosaurs. He knows that one of them used to be real, but can't remember which. Justified, since he is a baby. | |

Actor Allusion: Mollie is reduced to working as an elf in a mall Santa display, sporting a gigantic pair of pointed ears. When some kids ask what she's supposed to be, she snarls "I'm a Vulcan! Wanna see my death grip?" Kirstie Alley's first movie role was playing the Vulcan Saavik in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. | |

Rosie, an accountant, suggests they could have her audited. A later scene seems to indicate that they actually went through with this. | |

However, her snotty attitude and constant crying after she's born changes his mind and he constantly insults her and even destroys her favorite toy.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: After learning that Mollie lied about having an artificial insemination, James and Mollie got into an argument. Mollie tells him Albert has a right to see his son and that James is too immature to be a dad. Then James calls her out for using Mikey to push other guys away. | |

Parental Sexuality Squick: Mollie's mother says that if she thought too much about how responsible Mollie's father was when they first met, they never would have gotten past the first week, which she claims was very fun. Mollie groans and tells her mom, "Don't talk about sex and Daddy!" to which her mom chuckles. | |

Instant Birth: Just Add Labor!: Subverted, but Jimmy believes the trope to be true. Jimmy starts driving like a mad man when he finds out his fare (Mollie) is in labor, and doubles down on the madness when her water breaks. She yells at him to calm down and drive safe, the first stages of labor can take hours. He replies that the traffic in that area of town can take hours as well. Mollie was right, they arrive at the hospital in plenty of time. | |

Shout-Out: While Mollie and Julie try to make themselves perfect in their makeup montage, "I Enjoy Being a Girl" from Flower Drum Song (the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical that's based on the novel by C.Y. Lee) plays in the background. The cartoon that Mikey and Julie are trying to watch is "Minnie the Moocher" (you know, the cartoon that has the titular song by Cab Calloway, and whose scene includes prisoners being led to electric chairs while singing "Eye-dee-eye-dee-eye-dee-eye-dee-eye-dee-eye-dee-eye... Eee-dee-eee-dee-eee-dee-eee-dee-eee-dee-eee-dee-eee..." you know how that goes...). | |

Wacky Cravings: Even before pregnancy is confirmed, Mollie starts eating her mother's cooking heartily; her mom notices this, as she's never cared for her cooking before. She also starts eating ice cream (which she never liked before). There's also an in-utero shot of Mikey yanking on his umbilical cord like it's a signal rope and demanding orange juice; cut to Mollie chugging down most of a gallon. | |
