Following on from the plot of the last movie, four babies can communicate with each other using 'baby talk', and have knowledge of many secrets. The baby geniuses become involved in a scheme by media mogul Bill Biscane (Jon Voight), later revealed to be known as Kane, who kidnaps children everywhere. Helping the geniuses is a legendary superbaby named Kahuna (he became powerful due to drinking a special chemical, much to the envy of his brother Kane), who stops Biscane's plots and saves children from being kidnapped by Biscane and his minions. He joins up with several other babies in an attempt to stop Biscane, who intends to use a state-of-the-art satellite system to control the world's population by brainwashing them and forcing people to not be active and watch TV the rest of their lives.
The film was a box office failure and is considered to be one of the worst films ever made. Only receiving $9 million from its $20 million budget. Rotten Tomatoes ranked the film 6th in the 100 worst reviewed films of the 2000s, with a rating of 0%. As of March 30, 2011, it is ranked #2 in the IMDB's "Bottom 100", with a score of 1.5 out of 10. Critic Steve Blance, in his Top Ten Terrible Movie Review, called the movie "the worst I have ever witnessed" and also noted that he would "rather be tortured for twenty-years with searing iron than have to sit through even a minute of this again.
The film was nominated for four 2004 Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay and Worst Supporting Actor (Jon Voight), but neither to win any of them.
