Video Review: 'Baby Geniuses'

EW's GRADE
F

Details Movie Rated: PG; Genre: Comedy; With: Christopher Lloyd and Kathleen Turner

In what's sure to remain the worst movie of 1999, supersmart toddlers, speaking a language only they (and, unfortunately, we) can understand, toss around phrases like ''Show me the money'' and ''diaper gravy,'' while dancing like John Travolta. Rarely has the magic of special effects been put to more repellent use. Almost as obnoxious, however, is Turner's cut-rate Cruella De Vil routine. Watching her roll her eyes and flare her nostrils, you almost feel embarrassed for her. But you shouldn't. Unlike her young costars, Turner knew exactly what she was getting into. F
