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). In addition to this, Mikey is having trouble using a potty but the unorthodox advice he gets from his playmate Eddie (voiced by Damon Wayans) doesn't make his problem any better. [1]
This is also the last film in the series to feature Bruce Willis as well as Roseanne Barr as the voices of Mikey and Julie. In the following film, they are ages 7 and 4 respectively.
Synopsis
The movie picks up in between the events, of Mollie (Kirstie Alley) and James (John Travolta) saving baby Mikey (voice of Bruce Willis), from almost being hit by a car, and him going into the hospital room, with James, to see his new baby sister. It opens with Mollie and James preparing to have sex, with him ensuring her. Mikey gets scared and calls James into the room. He goes to check on him and returns to Mollie. Although she fell asleep, he gets her back in the mood and they continue. The film cuts to James' sperm cells traveling toward Mollie's egg; However, the egg teases the sperm cells since the diaphragm is blocking them from getting it. One manages to get around her diaphragm, and "rapes" the egg who feels both violated and pleasured. During this process, a baby girl (voice of Roseanne Barr) is conceived. They 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 new baby sister on the way, he has to be a responsible big brother. When the baby 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. She is named Julie.
When she and Mikey meet, he says hello, and she asks, "Who's this asshole?" He gets jealous of her immediately. One day, Mikey and his playmate Eddie (voice of Damon Wayans) try to walk off with Julie's stroller and decide to ditch her at the zoo. Mollie stops the boys and when she does, she catches them with a crack pipe (which greatly disgusts and frightens her). The parents fight about Mollie's brother Stuart (Elias Koteas) staying there which leads to her kicking out James. Stuart soons develops a romance with Mollie's best friend Rona (Twink Caplan) and they even start dating. Mikey is upset about James being gone and out of anger, he tears up one of Julie's favorite stuffed penguins (which she calls "her friend, Herbert,"). James occasionally hangs out with his kids (including scamming their way into a movie theater) and has fun with them. Meanwhile, Mikey is having trouble using a potty so he gets some advice from Eddie, who's already potty trained. However, he warns him about Mr. Toilet Man (voiced by Mel Brooks) who's actually just a figment of their imaginations.
One day, Julie sees the head of her stuffed penguin (the one that Mikey tore apart) and decides to learn to walk and leave. She manages to walk without support. Mollie sees this and is excited calling James and Stuart. If you listen carefully, you'll hear the Tri-Star Pictures theme while Julie is walking. Mikey realizes one night that he hasn't been very nice to Julie and decides to try to do so.
Mollie realizes that she needs James to help her. She dresses up for him in an attempt to get back together with him. A few days later, Mikey uses the toilet and calls his parents, James and Mollie, 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 burglar breaks in and runs when Stuart comes in with his unloaded gun. Stuart is completely oblivious to the fact that he left an oven mitt on a hot stove, causing it to catch fire. The mitt falls off the stove onto some newspapers, causing a bigger fire. Mikey and Julie panic and he pushes her out of the apartment and saves them both from the fire. Mollie and James catch up with Stuart and 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 police arrive soon afterwards and arrest the thief. Rona arrives and once she hears about how Stuart helped save the day, she falls deeper in love with him. She asks Stuart to marry her and he agrees.
The next day, James, Mollie, and her parents talk, while Mikey explains to Julie why he saved her from the fire and they start to get along.
