Look Who's Talking Now

(12)

The last film in the Look Who's Talking minifranchise goes to the dogs, literally, to keep the series' major gimmick intact--letting the audience hear the thoughts of the little newcomers in the Ubriacco family. The kids who were once babies in the two prior films can now babble for themselves, so the script finds the adult characters taking in two mutts who do a "Lady and the Tramp" thing while we listen in. Travolta (rescued a year later in 1994's Pulp Fiction) and Alley mark time while Danny De Vito and Diane Keaton provide the most entertainment performing the dogs' voices. Not awful, but not necessary either, and a long way from the small but real qualities of the first film.

This is the weakest Look who's talking movie. Whilst the escapades of the babies in the first two were witty and chuckle some, now that they have grown, the cute factor has diminished, and the dogs aren't quite up to it sadly. Still, if you like the Homeward bound movies, this may appeal to you. Fair enough as family entertainment.
