Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Only a mother or a certified baby-phile could love this John Hughes comedy (he wrote and coproduced it). Aside from that endorsement, the diaper starts to stink. Baby Bink is kidnapped by three inept crooks, but the child escapes from their hideaway, leading to a chase through the city. Bink's journey follows the story line of his favorite bedtime book, Baby's Day Out, and he goes to a zoo, a construction site, and a retirement center. Hughes is following his accountant's favorite bedtime tale, "Let's rewrite Home Alone again," but with very little of the humor or impact of that smash. A number of scenes center on the crushing or incineration of Joe Mantegna's groin, not exactly family-fare yuks. There are some moments of levity with the crooks and a gorilla. --Keith Simanton

Product Description
Baby Bink is out on the town for the day, visiting wondrous places and seeing fantastic sights. The only problem is, he is traveling alone! Frantically hunted by his mother and turned into a celebrity by the media, Baby Bink stays one step ahead of a trio of bumbling con artists eager to collect the reward money being offered by his wealthy parents.

5.0 out of 5 stars THREE STOOGES FOR THE NINETIES, November 20, 2005

By	Michael Butts (Martinsburg, WV USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

BABY'S DAY OUT is utterly ridiculous and preposterous, but it's also entertaining and has some real moments of hilarity. Joe Mantegna, Brian Haley and Joe Pantoliano are perfect as the modern three stooges who kidnap the baby of a wealthy family, but lose the baby and go on a rampage to rekidnap the tyke. With some fun special effects, improbable scenarios and slapstick humor, the movie is wildly entertaining. The scene where Joe Mantegna is trying to protect his private areas from the baby's lighter is priceless. Haley is especially funny as the big oaf and Lara Flynn Boyle, Cynthia Nixon and Matthew Gleve add fine support. It's all mindless but it's so funny who cares??

4.0 out of 5 stars Two grown up and two kid thumbs up!, November 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Baby's Day Out [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Really a good family movie--our 6 and 3 1/2 year olds love to watch again and again--and we don't mind not having to listen to Pokemon and Barney, either (at least for a few hours!)

4.0 out of 5 stars A slapstick extravaganza with likable villains and a baby, July 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Baby's Day Out [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The first time I saw this movie, I laughed until I couldn't breathe. It harkens back to the very best Sweet Pea / Popeye cartoons, and involves three, otherwise very likeable, bumbling villain and a baby on the loose for his first taste of the world at large. Very good fun.
