It carries echoes of When Harry Met Sally in the loving friendship of a thirtysomething mom (Kirstie Alley) and the cabdriver (John Travolta) who moonlights as baby-sitter. It has Hollywood's favorite premise, the fish out of water -- or, here, fetus out of womb. For the main character is a talking baby, in the worldly wise-guy voice of TV and movie star Bruce Willis...
