Look Who's Talking is another comedy by Amy Heckerling made in 1989, starring John Travolta and Kristie Alley. Mollie, played by Kristie Alley, gets pregant by the co-worker she is having an affair with, after realizing they don't want to be together, she soon does realize that the cab driver(James) who helped deliver her baby Mikey, may be the right guy for her. Mollie wants the perfect father for her son Mikey, so as she dates around and when Mikey calls James (John Travolta) "da-da", she knows that he is the one. I think this movie is a lot different from her other two high school comedys, Clueless and Fast Times at Ridgemont High, because first of all it is adults and adult situation rather than teenagers, which comes along with different humor and acting. This movie is also very different because there is a baby's point of view..commenting on everything, even his own birth (the voice is played by Bruce Willis). I think seeing the point of view coming from the child is very interesting, especially the way they do it. I thought this movie was pretty good, i enjoyed the other ones more, considering Clueless is one of my favorite movies, but I thought it was funny and the acting was good, I would also recomend the sequal Look Who's Talking Too (funny and enjoyable), there was another one after that as well but i don't remember that one.

This was my first time watching this movie and I thought it was pretty good. The baby's perspective was funny and I thought Bruce Willis was the perfect person for the voice over. I agree in that this is kind of hard to relate back to the other two high school movies because Heckerling is dealing with a whole new set of characters, and there isn't much stereotyping going on. One thing I noticed though that was the same in all the movies was that Heckerling never, and i mean like never ever uses close up shots which i thought most directors would use at least a couple times. I don't know, just a thought!
