Baby's Day Out

1994 · 1h 39m · Comedy, Adventure, Family, Crime

IMDb 6.2 RT 32%

Skip it unless you've got restless kids who need 81 minutes of distraction—this 1994 slapstick romp relies entirely on the novelty of a baby outsmarting criminals, and that's basically the whole joke, repeated ad nauseam. It's harmless family fare, but creaky, dated, and aggressively silly in a way that doesn't hold up for adult viewers.

Plot

Baby Bink couldn't ask for more: he has adoring (if somewhat sickly-sweet) parents, lives in a huge mansion, and he's just about to appear in the social pages of the paper. Unfortunately, not everyone in the world is as nice as Baby Bink's parents—especially the three enterprising kidnappers who pretend to be photographers from the newspaper. Successfully kidnapping Baby Bink, they have a harder time keeping hold of the rascal, who not only keeps one step ahead of them, but seems to be more than a little bit smarter than the three bumbling criminals.
