The Look Who's Talking franchise consists of American romantic family-comedies, including three theatrical films and a television series spin-off. The plot of each installment centers around a combined family, and their efforts to create the best lives for their infant children, while the infant children seek to help their parents through the use of an internal storytelling device, which the audience can hear. The central characters experience comedic and trying experiences that ultimately bring them closer together as a family unit.

The original film was met with mild critical reception, though it was deemed a hit box office. In years since, the film has earned its status as a cultural classic. Its first sequel in contrast was received poorly by critics, and earned less than half of its predecessor. The third film was considered a disappointment both critically and financially. Similarly, the television series spin-off received negative response from critics and viewers alike. Despite this, the two sequels have found a modern-day fanbase with critic reanalysis including the two installments in "so bad [they're] good" movie lists. Following the death of Kirstie Alley, various sources described the series as one of the greatest roles of her career.
