Look Who's Talking Too is the 1990 sequel to the commercially successful movie Look Who's Talking (1989). It stars John Travolta and Kirstie Alley as the parents of Mikey (voiced by Bruce Willis), a toddler coping with the newest addition to the family, baby Julie (voiced by Roseanne Barr).
Plot Synoposis
The movie picks up with Mollie (Kristie Alley) and James (John Travolta) having sex and Mikey (voice of Bruce Willis) getting scared. Mollie and James tell Mikey that he's got to be potty trained. Mollie discovers she's pregnant and James is working diligently. Mikey learns that with his little sister, Julie, on the way, he has to be a responsible big brother. When Julie is about to be born, her umbilical cord gets caught around her neck, putting her in distress. She is born through a c-section and is taken to the nursery.
When she and Mikey meet, Mikey says hello, and Julie asks, "Who's this asshole?" Mikey gets jealous of Julie throughout the film and their parents' fights about Stuart staying there lead to Mollie kicking out James. Mikey is upset about this and tears up one of Julie's stuffed animals. James occasionally hangs out with his kids (including scamming their way into a movie theater) and has fun with them.
One day, Julie sees the head of her stuffed animal (the one that Mikey tore apart) and decides to learn to walk and leave. She manages to walk to without support and Mollie sees this and is excited calling James and Stuart. Mikey realizes one night that he hasn't been very nice to Julie and decides to try to be nice to her.
Mollie realizes that she needs James to help her. She dresses up for him and gets back together with him. A few days later, Mikey uses the toilet and calls his parents, who are immensely proud of him. Mollie exclaims that she hasn't felt that happy about Mikey since he was born.
One night, Mollie watches the news and learns that storms are all around the area. She goes to get James before he takes off, leaving Stuart with Mikey and Julie. At some point in time, a burgaler breaks in and runs when Stuart comes in with his unloaded gun. Stuart is completely oblivious to the fact that he left paper on a hot stove, causing it to catch fire. The paper falls off the stove causes a bigger fire. Mikey and Julie panic and Mikey pushes Julie out of the apartment and saves himself and Julie from the fire while James gets the police and arrests the thief. Mollie and James ask where Mikey and Julie are. They see the smoke in the apartment and run in to get the kids, who arrived in the elevator. James runs in and gets the fire extinguisher and puts out the fire.
The next day, James, Mollie, and Mollie's parents talk, while Mikey explains to Julie why he saved her from the fire and they start to get along.
Alternate versions
On Fox Family, instead of John Travolta saying "Don't make me look like an asshole," he said, "Don't make me look like a jackass."
When the movie airs on ABC Family, many of the film's deleted scenes (such as Mollie threatening Mikey with a spanking if he takes his sister away again) are shown.
Production
The film is notable for coming out so soon after the original and for being extremely short. The famous TriStar Pictures theme music, composed by Dave Grusin, was played during the scene when baby Julie practices walking. A variation exists at the beginning of the logo when Bruce Willis (voice of Mikey) was doing a Mister Ed imitation.
Casting
The teaser at the end of the original Look Who's Talking portrayed Joan Rivers, under the pseudonym "Baby Guess", providing the voice of baby Julie. Due to scheduling conflicts, she declined the role.
Also appearing are Olympia Dukakis, Elias Koteas, and Gilbert Gottfried. Further vocal talents include Damon Wayans and Mel Brooks. This film was followed by another sequel, Look Who's Talking Now, in 1993. Baby actors in the film included Lorne Sussman and Megan Milner.
