maybe we should add this? http://www.slashfilm.com/article.php/20060716163812624 203.206.236.73 09:10, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

I think it's notable to add that to the article. Not like it's everyday that a movie hits the bottom so fast. FyreNWater 20:06, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Responses

I removed a POV statement from the responses section concerning IMDB. 71.31.156.127 04:19, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Similarities

Revert the following plot similarities:

• A similar plot is seen in the Bugs Bunny short film, "Baby Buggy Bunny", but the thief steals cash instead of a piece of jewelery.

• The Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers episode "Dirty Rotten Diapers" also has a similar plot, in which an adult poses as a baby to steal jewelery.

• A very similar plot happens in the film Blue Streak with Martin Lawrence, only Lawrence pretends to be a cop instead of a baby.

• The movie Problem Child is also very similar to this. A couple who want children decide to take in a bratty orphan/robber pretending to be a baby and the grandfather hates him.

Please explain why these should not be included.

Is the fact that this is a horrible, horrible movie which has been known to cause diabetes and cancer in lab mice upon repeated viewings a good enough reason? --Dooby Scoo 02:51, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

While that may be true - and I wouldn't know because I have yet to have the pleasure of seeing this film - I still think the premise has some striking similarities other films out there.... --Jvsett 17:58, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] James Lipton...?

"James Lipton defended the film throwing many fundraisers and even a small parade outside of Atlanta, sadly, the Wayans Brothers blamed their low box office numbers on his over-advertising of the movie. The relationship between James and the Wayans Brothers has been rocky since."

...does anyone have evidence for this? A quick Google search turned up nothing, and it seems unbelievable three or four different ways. (Whether or not it's true, it sounds funnier than the actual movie.) Kagredon 08:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
