Love the movie. Awesome soundtrack. Love this moment. I don't want to cheapen the moment also, but someones gotta say it... this guy is so very very fit.
No matter how many times I watch this movie, it always has the same effect. It instills a sense of wonder.. a sense of how fragile and new things can seem to be. It makes me think of the unknown, of the future. It's an uncertainty, but at the very same time, you look forward to it. It's the same feeling you get when you hold someone else's baby. Your mind races.. It raises so many questions about life, existence, warmth, uncertainty, and mostly yourself and where you stand in the universe..
After watching that gunfight scene, I half expected for the baby to start shooting grenades as John used him to fight off dual-machine gun wielding maniacs.
The Actress playing "Amy" is actually John's sister in real life, Ann Cusack. One of the waiters in the movie is John, Joan and Ann's older brother Bill Cusack. the whole Cusack clan are actors. How cool is that?
Amazing shakabuku/epiphany/ah-ha. Mine was a kid reaching for my hand when I couldn't have expected it any less. I was taking a bunch of them on a worm hunt at camp. My blood pressure must have dropped 50 points.
Now that I've got a family, I revisit it non-stop. Looking into babies' eyes while they look back can't be beat.
I always thought that this scene represented the shokabuku for John Cusacks character that Minnie Drivers character was talking about earlier in the film.

I don't know what it is about that scene, but I could watch that scene over and over. The song is excellent, the baby is so cute, and there is something about Martin's "in progress" response to her question about how his life is going that makes you realize that he is really looking to change his life.
WHY IS THIS MOVIE NOT CONSIDERED TOP 10 OF THE 90'S AT LEAST!???? shouldve got a best picture nomination or best actor at least!. film at its finest!
Watching this on DVD right now, that is, in between feeding kids and blowing noses and all the other stuff that goes with having 'em. Always remember this scene, she's right - this is what makes it all matter.
I love this movie! John Cusack is such a good actor...this guy knows how play diverse roles and can do it in style- and yeah, the baby is absolutely adorable...
Every time i've heard this song over the past 10 years (virgin radio play it a fair bit) i think of this bit of grosse point blank and it always makes me smile (had a dodgy cable box if you know what i mean and this film was on for a week pay per view so watched it a lot) thanks for posting
"Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie. It marked Queen's first released collaboration with another recording artist, and is featured on their 1982 album Hot Space. The song was a hit at the time, reaching #1 on the UK Singles Chart.

It feels like fate that I discovered this clip on the first day I ever held a baby.

My favorite response to the question "How's life?"
"In progress"
(Sorry John, I've borrowed that for the past 10 years now, and will continue to use it as long as I'm "in progress")

Watch it again. as she first stars to hand him to cusack the baby is facing her and the babys back is facing Cusack.
She doesn't turn the baby to face him but in all of a sudden the baby is indeed facing him.
