Summary: An 1980's classic
Review: The 1980's brought us a lot of wonderful teen movies. Adventures in Babysitting is definitely one of the best ones to come out of that decade. The cast is wonderful (even the younger stars are good actors). The plot is full of fun twists and turns. The entire package is wonderful. I have no complaints about this movie. I'm thrilled that it has been re-released on DVD.

Summary: All A Movie Should Have!
Review: "Adventures in Babysitting" mixes humour, horror and action together in this amazing, live-action "babysitting" flick! There is so much to love about this movie. One is the opening scene where Chris Parker (Elisabeth Shue) is dancing to the goldie "And Then He Kissed Me." Two is the humour. You'll be blue in the face when it is done from laughing so much. The Anderson children and their friend Daryl are the funniest if you want my opinion. Oh...There is so much to list. When Chris Parker's (Elisabeth Shue) boyfriend, Mike Todwell, cancels their anniversary date to a french restaurant, Chris is asked to watch the Anderson children while their parents go out. Over at the Andersons' home, Chris's best friend, Brenda, calls and tells Chris she has run away to the city of Chicago and needs a ride home. So now Chris takes the children into the city, be-friended by their neighbour, Daryl, to come across very exciting adventure. * * * * *! I also would recommend these films: POLTERGEIST I, II, III (* * * * *) - ALEX KINGSTON/MOLL FLANDERS (* * * 1/2) - THE MATRIX (* * * * 1/2). All excellent films. Thanks and enjoy.

Summary: Fun eighties nostalgia
Review: Despite the score I love this movie. But the truth is it is neither funny enough or clever enough to warrant a higher score. Elisabeth Shue is extremely winning in her first lead role, and really deserved to go onto better things. Adventures follows Elisabeth on her journey with the three kids she's babysitting and her attempt to help a friend stuck in the city. They get into all sorts of theoretically wacky scrapes that never really hit the comedic peaks you'd hope. But the whole journey adds up to a satisfying experience and you'll probably find yourself with a stupid grin by the end. On a side the note, this DVD is quite poor, the picture is not anamorphic and the sound is not Dolby Digital. If you look back at eighties movies with fondness this is probably a worthy purchase.

Summary: Watching "Adventures In Babysitting" is a adventure itself.
Review: Adventures In Babysitting is a Blast. I first saw this movie when I was 10 years old, now I am 24 and after all these years I can still say I really love this movie. Elisabeth Shue gives a great performance in her first leading role, along with the rest of the cast who together seem to bring this movie to life. The movie starts off with Chris singing a classic oldie called "And Than He Kissed Me" and from the minute you hear the song you know your in for a treat with this movie. After getting the cold shoulder from her boyfriend, Chris decides to babysitt and have a quiet night, but when her best friend Brenda calls her to rescue her downtown, Chris decides to take the three kids along with her. Expecting a dull evening she soon finds that the night is anything but dull. The night soon turns in to an endless adventure that will have all of them hanging from the rafters. I will not give away any of the movie, but I will say this is one of those rare movies you can watch over and over and never get tired of it. I highly suggest you check out this great movie! This is one to own on DVD.

Summary: How I Learned to Become the Best Babysitter
Review: I have loved this movie since the very first time I watched it as a 9 year-old child. This movie taught me what [not] to do in my future babysitting exploits. Just one quick question for the movie aficianados out there. Was there ever a soundtrack for this movie? It just so happens that this movie contains a song [ok, maybe a few] by one of my favorite bands: Southside Johnny and the [Asbury] Jukes. Ok, back to my review. This movie was my first introduction to the very talented [but sometimes overlooked] actor, Vincent Phillip D'Onofrio who plays Dawson. I have loved him as an actor for a long time. "Mystic, Pizza" anyone? Elisabeth Shue truly shines as the bewildered babysitter. She is able to convey both strength and vulnerability throughout this movie. The opening scene where she lip-synchs the words to "Then He Kissed Me" by The Crystals cements her character in this very enjoyable movie. I must say that Anthony Rapp [Darryl] steals every scene that he is in. My favorite scene in the movie is where they sing in the blues club - it makes me smile everytime I think about it. Buy this movie. It is a must-have for any family with pre-teen -teenage children. I plan on buying it soon; I recorded mine off the Disney Channel and let's just say it is not the same with certain phrases dubbed over throughout the movie.

Summary: "AND THEN HE KISSED ME"
Review: I highly recommend this film. It falls in the category of "Ferris B. Day Off", "Can't Buy Me Love", "Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead", "License To Drive" and "Goonies"........just a bunch of kids running around in trouble all the time. When I first saw this film....it was in the late eighties.....I just fell in love with Elisabeth Shue and her performance in "Adventures in Babysitting". Ever since the opening scene when she lip-synched to the song: "AND THEN HE KISSED ME". She plays as a 17 year old (but 23 in real life at the time) getting stuck babysitting for 3 kids when her boyfriend cancels on their date. Her night is filled with adventure facing one obsticle after another trying to get the kids back safe and sound. Filmed on location in Chicago and in Toronto. The famous scene where Elisabeth Shue sings the "BLUES" was in a bar in downtown Toronto called "The Silver Dollar". I've been there myself when I attended the University of Toronto.......today it has closed down. It is a great film and even better yet.....it stars a beautiful, talented actress......Elisabeth Shue.
