Some websites, such as Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, seek to improve the usefulness of film reviews by compiling them and assigning a score to each in order to gauge the general reception a film receives. Other sites such as Spill.com review sites with ratings such as "rent it" or "matinée" to tell the viewer in what setting to watch the film rather than a numerical score. Some go so far as to recommend the number of beers you will need to enjoy a movie such as MovieBoozer. The Online Film Critics Society, an international professional association of Internet-based cinema reviewers, consists of writers from all over the world. For Independent Films sites such as IndyRed offer reviews for amateur/independent film titles and then rely on social to spread the word. Sites like this are filling the gap between Hollywood and Independent film makers. A number of websites allow internet users to submit movie reviews and scores to allow a broad consensus review of a movie. Some websites specialize in narrow aspects of film reviewing. For instance, there are sites that focus on specific content advisories for parents to judge a film's suitability for children (e.g. Screen it!).
Others focus on a religious perspective (e.g. CAP Alert). Still others highlight more esoteric subjects such as the depiction of science in fiction films. One such example is Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics by Intuitor. One website, Everyone's a Critic, allows anyone to publish film reviews and comment on them. There are even websites for special interest groups such as the Christian review site, Movieguide. Blogging has also introduced opportunities for a new wave of amateur film critics to have their opinions heard. These review blogs may focus on one genre, director or actor, or encompass a much wider variety of films. Friends, friends of friends, or complete strangers are able to visit these sites, and can often leave their own comments about the movie and/or the author's review. Although much less frequented than their professional counterparts, these sites can gather a following of like-minded people who look to specific bloggers for reviews as they have found that the critic consistently exhibits an outlook very similar to their own. Community driven review sites have allowed the common movie goer to express their opinion on films. Many of these sites allow users to rate films on a 0 to 10 scale, while some rely on the star rating system of 0-5 or 0-4 four stars. The votes are then culled into an overall rating and ranking for any particular film.

Baby Geniuses does have some moral content. Ultimately, the movie states that parents should raise their own children, and even if babies did hold universal knowledge
Due to the film's commercial success on home video, a sequel was made, titled Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2, directed again by Bob Clark.
The sequel, like the original, is widely considered among the worst films of all time, and received worse reviews than the original.
While understanding the stages of cognitive development has been around for decades, BABY GENIUSES is the only movie which spoofs developmental intelligence among the very young. Offbeat, a little strange, containing lots of baby jokes and cliches, some dark humor, a false-religious premise, and some inappropriate humor, this high-concept movie ultimately has a mild moral worldview of loving and protecting family. Kathleen Turner stars as Dr. Elana Kinder, a scheming, wildly ambitious boss at BABYCO, and the world's largest manufacturer of baby products. She is so successful, she has created an indoor amusement park for babies called JOYWORLD. The public does not know, however, that she also funds a secret research lab together with her partner in crime, Dr. Heap (Christopher Lloyd). (Together, the pair seems just like a diabolical duo from a BATMAN movie.) They work to crack the code of baby language which she is sure does exist. Her assumption is in line with a Tibetan Buddhist premise that, until the age of two, babies hold universal knowledge, but lose that knowledge when they develop intelligible speech. Hence, if the baby language could be understood, then so could the answers to some of the major questions of the universe.
Dr. Kinder is keeping a baby named Sly in the lab. When Sly, the brightest of the baby geniuses, escapes from the secret lab into the outside world, Dr. Kinder and Heap send out goons to recover him before he blows the lid off their secret. In the outside world, Sly meets a twin brother he never knew and organizes the babies in the outside world to invade the secret lab to free the baby geniuses trapped there and bring down Dr. Kinder's evil empire forever.Naturally, with a PG rating and a baby-filled plot, families would think that this movie is great for all ages. However, the PG rating should be a warning. There are a number of cautions to note. First, Sly tells Dr. Kinder that she is talking out of her "hind end" but Sly actually uses the "A" word. On a few more occasions, the babies use mild obscenities. Secondly, scatological humor abounds, especially about dirty diapers and burping. Furthermore, Sly dresses up in girl baby clothes as a disguise and makes jokes about dressing in drag. The biggest caution is the false-religious premise. Of course, babies don't hold universal knowledge. Parents may also be concerned about the villains, their goons and some of the slapstick violence. BABY GENIUSES does have some moral content. Ultimately, the movie states that parents should raise their own children, and even if babies did hold universal knowledge, it is best if they keep that knowledge to themselves. Sly's father tells his mother to "pray for me," and in another scene Christian Christmas songs can be heard.
BABY GENIUSES is sort of like a HOME ALONE, the early years. Though not quite as slapstick based, nor as cleverly written, it aims for the same crowd. However, the strange premise, some of the action and some of the language prevent this from being a movie the whole family can enjoy.
In 2004 it was followed by a sequel, Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2, which had an even worse critical reaction than the original and bombed at the box-office.
