History Film / LookWhosTalking

* AuditThreat: Mollie meets with her mother and complains about James' new boss, a young, attractive wealthy woman who is taking up all of his time by using him as her private pilot. Rosie, an accountant, suggests they could have her audited.

* StrawCharacter: Molliey's brother, representing everything a New Yorker should ''not'' believe.

* BabyTalk: Molly's mother babbles to Mikey, who thinks it means she's gone nuts.
* BadDate: Molly has one, thanks to a "little helpful advice" from the babysitter.

'''Molly:''' A selfish phase?!\\\

'''Molly:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh, I understand. I understand that you're going through a selfish phase.]]

* DescriptionCut: When Molly calls the police thinking Mikey's been kidnapped, she says it's either that or with someone who's a complete idiot. Cut to James taking Mikey to work with him while Molly was asleep.

* DrivesLikeCrazy: James, though only once and only because it was the only way to get Molly to a hospital in time.
--> '''Molly:''' Are you crazy!? Labor can take hours!\\
'''James:''' So can midday traffic!

* InnocentInnuendo: A funny scene when they are trying to remove a splinter out while Molly's mom is outside. Molly says, "Ooh! I've never had one that big in me!" To make matters worse, when James leaves her apartment, he non-chalantly zips up his jeans ''right in front of her mother''.

* OppositesAttract: James is a carefree taxi driver, Molly is a worrywart accountant, and they eventually pair up.
* OutOfContextEavesdropping: James pulls out a splinter from Molly's finger. Her mother overhears and assume they're having sex. When James comes out, he ''zips his fly''.

* PrecisionFStrike: Molly's demonic '''FUCK MY BREATHING!''' during her labor with Mikey.

* WackyCravings: Even before pregnancy is confirmed, Molly starts eating her mother's cooking heartily; her mom notices this, as she's never cared for her cooking before. She also starts eating ice cream (which she never liked before). There's also an in-utero shot of Mikey yanking on his umbilical cord like it's a signal rope and demanding orange juice; cut to Molly chugging down most of a gallon.
* WhatTheHellHero:

* StrawCharacter: Molly's brother, representing everything a New Yorker should ''not'' believe.

** Mikey is being strolled down the sidewalk to the tune of "[[Film/SaturdayNightFever Staying Alive]]"

It was followed by two sequels. ''Look Who's Talking Too'' (1990) added Creator/RoseanneBarr as the voice of Mikey's newborn sister Julie and Creator/DamonWayans as the voice of Mikey's best friend Eddie. In ''Look Who's Talking Now'' (1993), the children have grown to speaking age and so we see things instead from the new dogs of the Ubriacco family, Rocks (Creator/DannyDeVito) and Daphne (Creator/DianeKeaton). They didn't fare as well as the first one, with the first sequel even getting two Razzie nominations. Also spawned a short-lived SpiritualSuccessor sitcom, ''Series/{{Baby Talk|1991}}'', which ran for two seasons from 1991-1992. While the sitcom was a different continuity and none of the film's characters appear, the characters were created by Amy Heckerling, who wrote and directed the first film.

* DrugsCausingSlowMotion: Mollie gets an epidural before delivering Mikey. He is shown in the womb been woozy, talking slower than usual, and being fascinated by his hand, which he watches while slowly moving it in front of his face.

* EvilSoundsDeep: When an unconcerned nurse tells Mollie to calm her breathing during her contractions ("You're not in aerobics class"), Mollie's voice goes to DemonicPossession levels screaming '''FUCK MY BREATHING!''' This gets a CallBack in the sequel when she goes into labor at work and screams for somebody to get her to a ''fucking hospital'' in a similarly deep voice.

* InnocentInnuendo: A funny scene when they are trying to get a splinter out while Molly's mom is outside. Molly says, "Ooh! I've never had one that big in me!" To make matters worse, when James leaves her apartment, he non-chalantly zips up his jeans ''right in front of her mother''.
* InstantBirthJustAddLabor: Subverted, but [[PanickyExpectantFather Jimmy]] believes the trope to be true. Jimmy starts driving like a mad man when he finds out his fare (Mollie) is in labor, and doubles down on the madness when her water breaks. She yells at him to calm down and drive safe, the first stages of labor can take hours. He replies that the ''traffic'' in that area of town can take hours as well. Mollie was right, they get to the hospital in plenty of time.

* SpermAsPeople: The opening sequence shows an anthropomorphic sperm fertilizing an egg. The sequel takes it up a notch, as the sperm and egg get their own voiceovers.

* PrisonersLastMeal: After Rocks gets caught by a dog catcher and placed in a kennel, he's fed liver, which the all other dogs realize is a bad sign, meaning he was given his last meal before he would be put down. Fortunately, James and Mikey arrive just in time and pick him out for adoption.

* UrineTrouble: Rocks isn't housetrained when he gets adopted, he's been living on the street. There's a RunningGag of him peeing in the house. When he finds James at Samantha's remote woodland cabin, he pees on her shoes right after James decides to quit.

* ProductPlacement: Mikey and Julie watch a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb56pNlkk-I commercial]] about the Franchise/GIJoe Retaliator and Cobra Hammerhead. Both babies want the latter toy, before Mikey tells her it's not for girls.

* SantaExistenceClause: Mikey thinks he's too old to believe in Santa. His parents encourage him to still believe, which he does reluctantly, only to be devastated when he stumbles upon a MallSanta out of character.
