Reviews:
“It’s in no way for everyone but deserves eyes from those who don’t require blockbuster budgets to adore a sweetheart story of the oddest conceptualization. Enjoyable despite its faults, which are easier to laugh along with thanks to a hard-topped cadaver creation filled with ultimate wonder.” Flickering Myth
“What this movie did really well was create absurd and awkward situations that play out well on camera, and are quite funny. However when the movie tries to introduce an air of danger to put pressure on the characters to movie the plot it came off as forced. The plot was a much weaker driving force in the film when compared to the characters and dialogue…” The Movie Sleuth
” …Baby Frankenstein works totally in its own right, even if some of the caricatures employed in the movie are a little broad. What really makes the movie though is the title character that’s not only a very fine makeup job, but Rance Nix also gives genuine depth to the character. So in all, if you can accept the fact that you’ve seen the story before…” Search My Trash
