== Plot ==
== Plot ==
Bennington Austin "Bink" Cotwell IV (Adam Robert and Jacob Joseph Worton) is the son of socialites Laraine ([[Lara Flynn Boyle]]) and Bennington ([[Matthew Glave]]), lives in a huge mansion in a suburb of [[Chicago]], and is just about to appear in the social pages of the newspaper. Three klutzy would-be kidnappers, Edgar "Eddie" Mauser ([[Joe Mantegna]]), Norbert "Norby" LeBlaw ([[Joe Pantoliano]]) and Victor "Veeko" Riley ([[Brian Haley]]), disguise themselves as the photographers from the paper and kidnap him, demanding a $5 million ransom. After the kidnapping, however, the kidnappers have difficulty controlling Bink. Norby attempts to put Bink to sleep by reading Bink's favourite book, "Baby's Day Out", only to fall asleep himself from boredom, leaving Bink unattended. Looking through the book, Bink notices a bird on the page and then by the window. He follows it out and successfully gets away from his kidnappers. The ensuing chase culminates in Eddie falling off the building and into a garbage bin. Norby and Veeko find Eddie and the three begin relentlessly pursuing Bink across the city.
Bennington Austin "Bink" Cotwell IV is the newborn son of socialites Laraine and Bennington, lives in a huge mansion in a suburb of [[Chicago]] and is just about to appear in the social pages of the newspaper. Three klutzy would-be kidnappers, consisting of Edgar "Eddie" Mauser, Norbert "Norby" LeBlaw and Victor "Veeko" Riley, disguise themselves as the photographers from the paper and kidnap him, demanding a $5 million ransom. After the kidnapping, however, the kidnappers have difficulty controlling Bink. Norby attempts to put Bink to sleep by reading Bink's favorite storybook, "Baby's Day Out", only to fall asleep himself from boredom, leaving Bink unattended. Looking through the book, Bink notices a bird on the page and then by the window. He follows it out and successfully gets away from his kidnappers; the ensuing chase culminates in Eddie falling off the building and into a garbage bin. Norby and Veeko find Eddie and the three begin pursuing Bink across the city.


The [[FBI]] arrives at the mansion, headed by Dale Grissom ([[Fred Dalton Thompson]]), where they try to piece together clues along with Bink's parents and his nanny Gilbertine ([[Cynthia Nixon]]). Meanwhile, Bink, now outside on the ground and crawling about, finds another part of his book – the blue bus, which he then boards. The kidnappers realize he is escaping and start chasing the bus in their van, but their efforts are in vain. Meanwhile, on the bus, Bink crawls into the bag of an [[obesity|obese]] lady (Robin Baber), who gets off at her stop shortly afterwards. By the time the trio catches the bus, they realize Bink is not on board and follow the lady. An altercation ensues after she catches them. In the distraction, Bink crawls up to a revolving door at the entrance to a department store and is forced inwards by its momentum. He is stopped by a worker (Dawn Maxey) who works for the store's day care center, believing he is another baby who escaped from there. He later escapes the store and eventually crawls into traffic after a ride on a taxi cab. The kidnappers attempt to follow him but keep getting injured in the process as he makes his way to the city [[zoo]]. They are shocked to find him in the [[ape]] house with a [[western lowland gorilla]], which shows a maternal side and does not injure him. The kidnappers try to retrieve him, but the gorilla notices and pounds Veeko's hand, throws Norby into the air using a mop as a catapult, and hurls Eddie against the bars of the opposite cage and roaring loudly at him.

The kidnappers eventually corner and catch Bink in the zoo's park, but are confronted by two friendly police officers, who have noticed that their van's engine is still running. During the conversation, Eddie hides Bink under his coat in his lap, but he reaches Eddie's cigarette lighter, sets his crotch on fire, and sneaks off as soon as the officers are gone. Veeko extinguishes the fire by stomping repeatedly on Eddie's groin. They follow Bink to a construction yard, but are still unable to catch him, with Veeko getting thrown off the building and into the back of a garbage truck, Norby falling into a vat of wet cement, and Eddie getting stranded on a crane after being drenched in glue. The sun sets as Bink and the construction crew leaves the construction yard. The kidnappers manage to escape, but decide to give up and go home.

Bink's parents are notified of various sightings of him in the city and Gilbertine deduces that he has been following "Baby's Day Out" (or "Boo-boo", as he calls it), and will most likely head for the Old Soldiers' Home next. They find him there, but on the way home, he begins to call out "Boo-Boo" toward the kidnappers' flat. The FBI move in and arrest the kidnappers, who return Bink's book. Back home, Bink is put to bed by his parents. As they discuss having his picture taken by a normal photographer in the morning, he wakes up and gets ready to read another book, titled "Baby's Trip to China".

On the ''[[At the Movies (1986 TV program)|Siskel & Ebert]]'' show, critic [[Roger Ebert]] wrote that "''Baby's Day Out'' contains gags that might have worked in a [[Who Framed Roger Rabbit#Characters|Baby Herman]] cartoon, but in live action, with real people, taxis, buses, streets, and a real baby, they're just not funny. The Worton twins are adorable as Baby Bink, however; the audience produced an audible coo the first time they saw him on the screen."

''Baby's Day Out'' was released on July 1, 1994 by [[20th Century Fox]] in the United States and was a critical and [[Box-office bomb|commercial failure]], grossing only $16.7 million against a $48 million budget. Despite this, it enjoyed tremendous popularity in [[India]] and other [[South Asia]]n markets. == Plot == Bennington Austin "Bink" Cotwell IV (Adam Robert and Jacob Joseph Worton) is the son of socialites Laraine ([[Lara Flynn Boyle]]) and Bennington ([[Matthew Glave]]), lives in a huge mansion in a suburb of [[Chicago]], and is just about to appear in the social pages of the newspaper. Three klutzy would-be kidnappers, Edgar "Eddie" Mauser ([[Joe Mantegna]]), Norbert "Norby" LeBlaw ([[Joe Pantoliano]]) and Victor "Veeko" Riley ([[Brian Haley]]), disguise themselves as the photographers from the paper and kidnap him, demanding a $5 million ransom. After the kidnapping, however, the kidnappers have difficulty controlling Bink. Norby attempts to put Bink to sleep by reading Bink's favourite book, "Baby's Day Out", only to fall asleep himself from boredom, leaving Bink unattended. Looking through the book, Bink notices a bird on the page and then by the window. He follows it out and successfully gets away from his kidnappers. The ensuing chase culminates in Eddie falling off the building and into a garbage bin. Norby and Veeko find Eddie and the three begin relentlessly pursuing Bink across the city. The [[FBI]] arrives at the mansion, headed by Dale Grissom ([[Fred Dalton Thompson]]), where they try to piece together clues along with Bink's parents and his nanny Gilbertine ([[Cynthia Nixon]]). Meanwhile, Bink, now outside on the ground and crawling about, finds another part of his book – the blue bus, which he then boards. The kidnappers realize he is escaping and start chasing the bus in their van, but their efforts are in vain. Meanwhile, on the bus, Bink crawls into the bag of an [[obesity|obese]] lady (Robin Baber), who gets off at her stop shortly afterwards. By the time the trio catches the bus, they realize Bink is not on board and follow the lady. An altercation ensues after she catches them. In the distraction, Bink crawls up to a revolving door at the entrance to a department store and is forced inwards by its momentum. He is stopped by a worker (Dawn Maxey) who works for the store's day care center, believing he is another baby who escaped from there. He later escapes the store and eventually crawls into traffic after a ride on a taxi cab. The kidnappers attempt to follow him but keep getting injured in the process as he makes his way to the city [[zoo]]. They are shocked to find him in the [[ape]] house with a [[western lowland gorilla]], which shows a maternal side and does not injure him. The kidnappers try to retrieve him, but the gorilla notices and pounds Veeko's hand, throws Norby into the air using a mop as a catapult, and hurls Eddie against the bars of the opposite cage and roaring loudly at him. The kidnappers eventually corner and catch Bink in the zoo's park, but are confronted by two friendly police officers, who have noticed that their van's engine is still running. During the conversation, Eddie hides Bink under his coat in his lap, but he reaches Eddie's cigarette lighter, sets his crotch on fire, and sneaks off as soon as the officers are gone. Veeko extinguishes the fire by stomping repeatedly on Eddie's groin. They follow Bink to a construction yard, but are still unable to catch him, with Veeko getting thrown off the building and into the back of a garbage truck, Norby falling into a vat of wet cement, and Eddie getting stranded on a crane after being drenched in glue. The sun sets as Bink and the construction crew leaves the construction yard. The kidnappers manage to escape, but decide to give up and go home. Bink's parents are notified of various sightings of him in the city and Gilbertine deduces that he has been following "Baby's Day Out" (or "Boo-boo", as he calls it), and will most likely head for the Old Soldiers' Home next. They find him there, but on the way home, he begins to call out "Boo-Boo" toward the kidnappers' flat. The FBI move in and arrest the kidnappers, who return Bink's book. Back home, Bink is put to bed by his parents. As they discuss having his picture taken by a normal photographer in the morning, he wakes up and gets ready to read another book, titled "Baby's Trip to China". == Cast == * Adam Robert and Jacob Joseph Worton as Bennington Austin "Baby Bink" Cotwell IV **[[Verne Troyer]] as Bink's stunt double * [[Joe Mantegna]] as Edgar "Eddie" Mauser * [[Brian Haley]] as Victor "Veeko" Riley * [[Joe Pantoliano]] as Norbert "Norby" LeBlaw * [[Lara Flynn Boyle]] as Laraine Cotwell * [[Matthew Glave]] as Bennington Austin "Bing" Cotwell III * [[Cynthia Nixon]] as Gilbertine * [[Fred Thompson]] as Dale Grissom * [[John Neville (actor)|John Neville]] as Mr. Andrews * Robin Baber as Ursula * Trevor Dalton as Norm * [[Eddie Bracken]] as Old Soldier * [[Dawn Maxey]] as Teenage Employee * [[Anna Thomson]] as Mrs. McCray == Reception == === Critical response === ''Baby's Day Out'' was panned by critics, and holds a 20% "rotten" approval rating at the review website [[Rotten Tomatoes]], with 3 positive reviews from 15.<ref>{{rotten-tomatoes|babys_day_out}}</ref> On the ''[[At the Movies (1986 TV program)|Siskel & Ebert]]'' show, critic [[Roger Ebert]] wrote that "''Baby's Day Out'' contains gags that might have worked in a [[Who Framed Roger Rabbit#Characters|Baby Herman]] cartoon, but in live action, with real people, taxis, buses, streets, and a real baby, they're just not funny.

Despite this, it enjoyed tremendous popularity in [[India]] and other [[South Asia]]n markets. == Plot == -Bennington Austin "Bink" Cotwell IV (Adam Robert and Jacob Joseph Worton) is the son of socialites Laraine ([[Lara Flynn Boyle]]) and Bennington ([[Matthew Glave]]), lives in a huge mansion in a suburb of [[Chicago]], and is just about to appear in the social pages of the newspaper. Three klutzy would-be kidnappers, Edgar "Eddie" Mauser ([[Joe Mantegna]]), Norbert "Norby" LeBlaw ([[Joe Pantoliano]]) and Victor "Veeko" Riley ([[Brian Haley]]), disguise themselves as the photographers from the paper and kidnap him, demanding a $5 million ransom. After the kidnapping, however, the kidnappers have difficulty controlling Bink. Norby attempts to put Bink to sleep by reading Bink's favourite book, "Baby's Day Out", only to fall asleep himself from boredom, leaving Bink unattended. Looking through the book, Bink notices a bird on the page and then by the window. He follows it out and successfully gets away from his kidnappers. The ensuing chase culminates in Eddie falling off the building and into a garbage bin. Norby and Veeko find Eddie and the three begin relentlessly pursuing Bink across the city. +Bennington Austin "Bink" Cotwell IV is the newborn son of socialites Laraine and Bennington, lives in a huge mansion in a suburb of [[Chicago]] and is just about to appear in the social pages of the newspaper.

Norby and Veeko find Eddie and the three begin pursuing Bink across the city. -The [[FBI]] arrives at the mansion, headed by Dale Grissom ([[Fred Dalton Thompson]]), where they try to piece together clues along with Bink's parents and his nanny Gilbertine ([[Cynthia Nixon]]). Meanwhile, Bink, now outside on the ground and crawling about, finds another part of his book – the blue bus, which he then boards. The kidnappers realize he is escaping and start chasing the bus in their van, but their efforts are in vain. Meanwhile, on the bus, Bink crawls into the bag of an [[obesity|obese]] lady (Robin Baber), who gets off at her stop shortly afterwards. By the time the trio catches the bus, they realize Bink is not on board and follow the lady. An altercation ensues after she catches them. In the distraction, Bink crawls up to a revolving door at the entrance to a department store and is forced inwards by its momentum. He is stopped by a worker (Dawn Maxey) who works for the store's day care center, believing he is another baby who escaped from there. He later escapes the store and eventually crawls into traffic after a ride on a taxi cab. The kidnappers attempt to follow him but keep getting injured in the process as he makes his way to the city [[zoo]]. They are shocked to find him in the [[ape]] house with a [[western lowland gorilla]], which shows a maternal side and does not injure him. The kidnappers try to retrieve him, but the gorilla notices and pounds Veeko's hand, throws Norby into the air using a mop as a catapult, and hurls Eddie against the bars of the opposite cage and roaring loudly at him. +The [[FBI]] arrives at the mansion, headed by Dale Grissom, where they try to piece together clues along with Bink's parents and his nanny Gilbertine.

During the conversation, Eddie hides Bink under his coat in his lap, but he reaches Eddie's cigarette lighter, sets his crotch on fire, and sneaks off as soon as the officers are gone. Veeko extinguishes the fire by stomping repeatedly on Eddie's groin.

Starring [[Joe Mantegna]], [[Lara Flynn Boyle]], [[Joe Pantoliano]] and [[Brian Haley]], the plot centers on a wealthy baby's abduction by three kidnappers, his subsequent escape and adventure through Chicago while being pursued by the kidnappers.', 7 => '''Baby's Day Out'' was released on July 1, 1994 by [[20th Century Fox]] in the United States and was a critical and [[Box-office bomb|commercial failure]], grossing only $16.7 million against a $48 million budget. Despite this, it enjoyed tremendous popularity in [[India]] and other [[South Asia]]n markets.', 8 => 'Bennington Austin "Bink" Cotwell IV (Adam Robert and Jacob Joseph Worton) is the son of socialites Laraine ([[Lara Flynn Boyle]]) and Bennington ([[Matthew Glave]]), lives in a huge mansion in a suburb of [[Chicago]], and is just about to appear in the social pages of the newspaper. Three klutzy would-be kidnappers, Edgar "Eddie" Mauser ([[Joe Mantegna]]), Norbert "Norby" LeBlaw ([[Joe Pantoliano]]) and Victor "Veeko" Riley ([[Brian Haley]]), disguise themselves as the photographers from the paper and kidnap him, demanding a $5 million ransom. After the kidnapping, however, the kidnappers have difficulty controlling Bink. Norby attempts to put Bink to sleep by reading Bink's favourite book, "Baby's Day Out", only to fall asleep himself from boredom, leaving Bink unattended. Looking through the book, Bink notices a bird on the page and then by the window. He follows it out and successfully gets away from his kidnappers. The ensuing chase culminates in Eddie falling off the building and into a garbage bin. Norby and Veeko find Eddie and the three begin relentlessly pursuing Bink across the city.', 9 => 'The [[FBI]] arrives at the mansion, headed by Dale Grissom ([[Fred Dalton Thompson]]), where they try to piece together clues along with Bink's parents and his nanny Gilbertine ([[Cynthia Nixon]]). Meanwhile, Bink, now outside on the ground and crawling about, finds another part of his book – the blue bus, which he then boards. The kidnappers realize he is escaping and start chasing the bus in their van, but their efforts are in vain. Meanwhile, on the bus, Bink crawls into the bag of an [[obesity|obese]] lady (Robin Baber), who gets off at her stop shortly afterwards. By the time the trio catches the bus, they realize Bink is not on board and follow the lady. An altercation ensues after she catches them. In the distraction, Bink crawls up to a revolving door at the entrance to a department store and is forced inwards by its momentum. He is stopped by a worker (Dawn Maxey) who works for the store's day care center, believing he is another baby who escaped from there. He later escapes the store and eventually crawls into traffic after a ride on a taxi cab. The kidnappers attempt to follow him but keep getting injured in the process as he makes his way to the city [[zoo]]. They are shocked to find him in the [[ape]] house with a [[western lowland gorilla]], which shows a maternal side and does not injure him. The kidnappers try to retrieve him, but the gorilla notices and pounds Veeko's hand, throws Norby into the air using a mop as a catapult, and hurls Eddie against the bars of the opposite cage and roaring loudly at him.', 10 => 'The kidnappers eventually corner and catch Bink in the zoo's park, but are confronted by two friendly police officers, who have noticed that their van's engine is still running. During the conversation, Eddie hides Bink under his coat in his lap, but he reaches Eddie's cigarette lighter, sets his crotch on fire, and sneaks off as soon as the officers are gone. Veeko extinguishes the fire by stomping repeatedly on Eddie's groin. They follow Bink to a construction yard, but are still unable to catch him, with Veeko getting thrown off the building and into the back of a garbage truck, Norby falling into a vat of wet cement, and Eddie getting stranded on a crane after being drenched in glue. The sun sets as Bink and the construction crew leaves the construction yard. The kidnappers manage to escape, but decide to give up and go home.', 11 => 'Bink's parents are notified of various sightings of him in the city and Gilbertine deduces that he has been following "Baby's Day Out" (or "Boo-boo", as he calls it), and will most likely head for the Old Soldiers' Home next. They find him there, but on the way home, he begins to call out "Boo-Boo" toward the kidnappers' flat. The FBI move in and arrest the kidnappers, who return Bink's book.
