Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

I remember watching 'Baby's Day Out' many times as a kid. As you may or may not know, but this kiddie film was a craze in India, being one of the most popular hits of that time, despite bombing in the U.S during release. But hey, this movie makes me nostalgic & on repeat viewings (if any), i don't find myself grown up or pointing fingers at its silliness. 'Baby's Day Out' centers on a wealthy baby's kidnapping by three incompetent villains, his escape and adventure through a big city while being pursued by the three kidnappers.Its a cute little film, with silly jokes. The baby was adorable & the series of unfortunate events the bumbling villains go through because of the baby, are truly funny, in a very kiddie way. And how can you not laugh when you have actors like Joe Mantegna, Joe Pantoliano and Brian Haley enacting the villains in misery. All the 3 actors are sportive enough to go along with the film's kiddie humor & also show their undervalued gift for physical comedy. And how gorgeous is Cynthia Nixon!What can I say more, but that 'Baby's Day Out' still makes me smile & reminds me of my childhood. Its one of those films that are far from perfect, but when you watch them, they just do it for you.

I would have given "Baby's Day Out" a zero rating if possible, cause the humor is worse than awful and the movie will surely put your child in an uncomfortable situation. Violence is a big part of this movie and a lot of it takes place below the belt. The baby not only burns the bad guy's groin, but the baby also put his hands on the bad guy's crotch and twists it... yikes! In another scene the baby kicks one of the bad guys in the groin... What's up with that?! No baby should ever have this much contact with a man's groin in a movie, much less in real life. How many would find any of this funny if the bad guy was a woman and a baby inflicted this much pain on the female genitals or breast?? Sorry to say, but pedophiles are everywhere, even in movie-making, and their main objective is to gradually introduce your children to acts of perversion. So ask yourself this - Would you let a pedophile into your home?

"Baby's Day Out" is, quite simply put, the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It is a piece of cinematic treasure that was birthed prematurely to an audience that could not possibly understand the gift they had been bestowed upon them.Homage is beautifully paid to the Three Stooges via Mantegna, Pantoliano, and Haley and is quite simply an act of brilliance on the part of John Hughes.Joe Mantegna's Oscar worthy performance as "Eddie", the brains behind the trio of baby-snatchers in this epic tale of trial and tribulation stirred a long-forgotten corner of my soul, and gives me shivers up the spine to this very day.Baby's Day Out is the crown jewel of screenplays in John Hughes's gallery of masterpieces such as "Mr. Mom", "Home Alone" 1-4, and "Beethoven" 1-5.I rest easy at night knowing that 300 years from now, Baby's Day Out with be held in the same reverence as Romeo and Juliet is today. All that is needed is for society's palate for art to evolve past the likes of "Jackass" and "Legally Blond 2", the belief that this will happen is the only thing that keeps me going day to day through this drudgery we call life.11 out of 10 stars
