Adventures in Babysitting

One of those movies that is easy to watch many times. The plot is simple and almost-believable; A babysitter gets in deep trouble while taking the kids out in an unauthorized rescue mission of a run-away friend. The cast plays well within their rolls, from the innocent child to the obnoxious teen. It is very entertaining and time goes by very fast.

Fun family movie with a lot of action and a bit of romance.

Elisabeth Shue's character agrees to babysit her family friend's kids after having her date cancelled by her so called boyfriend. She thinks it's going to be an easy night babysitting until her friend calls her to pick her up from the train station. She agrees and that's where the action begins. What has she let herself in for?

Gives a new meaning to 'babysitting'

I saw this movie a while ago and enjoyed it, as my daughter was a babysitter and I could so picture something funny as this could happen to her. Great movie for kids and if you are an adult you can enjoy it as a cute adventure, think when you were younger, could you picture this happening to you.

This is one of the truly rare films that will have everybody laughing out loud regardless of age. Amazingly, the film does it without pandering, and without dumb or gross out humor. Elizabeth Shue is simply amazing in this. Forget that she is drop dead gorgeous! Her acting, dialogue and her chemistry with the kids in question is perfect. Beyond that, it's even better! I can honestly say that every character you will see in this is a worthwhile addition. How many movies have you ever seen that can say that?! I don't say "rent it", I say BUY it. FIVE STARS is not enough! Many reviewers have mentioned something about "The 80's" Totally irrelevant! A hundred years from now this will still be a masterpiece.

Great fun movie for the family,one of my family's favorites,never get tired of seeing,and always provides a laugh as well as some sweetness!!!
