What Parents Need to Know

About Baby Geniuses

Parents need to know that the humor here centers around children using salty adult language, repeated groin-bashing and -- you guessed it -- diaper activities. And though this is a film that would seemingly appeal to young children, the sexual innuendo and roughhousing make it appropriate, inexplicably, only for tweens. Some kids may enjoy the diaper gags, but overall the humor is too crass and misguided to recommend to them. And even among tweens, those who feel insulted by bad TV sit-coms shouldn't risk it.

    really funny

    This was one of my favorite movies when I was 6 or 7! I think it is unbelieveable and frankly wierd to rate it off and most of all whats up with the 13 and older common sense meda? This is extremely funny for young children. The only downside is that there is a lot of bathroom humor.
