Summary: ENTERTAINING DISNEY STYLE, WOULD BE FAMILY MOVIE
Review: Fun comedy that at best can be described as entertaining made memroable by an engaging performance from Elizabeth Shue as the babysitter and also Mai brewton, Keith Coogan, Anthony Rapp and Calvin Lewis. Theres a series of winning sequences with possibly the very best being where the gang find themselves on stage in a seedy, blues nightclub and the ending is quite amusing. The plot is pretty simple - Chris, the babysitter, receives a phone call from her friend Penny in a run down bus station in the heart of the city. So Chris and the kids all head for the bus station to "rescue" Penny and then unwittingly find themselves plunged into a series of adventures and becoming the target of gangsters. Take out the swear words you'd easily have a Disney style family movie. However the film holds many pleasing moment and on the whole its a god film with some obvious shortcomings. Recommended.

Summary: It's actually called "A Night On The Town" over here!
Review: I discovered this movie when I was about twelve and my whole family loved it. It was misadventure after misadventure, and definitely provided plenty of laughs. I haven't seen it in quite a few years now, but I remember almost every word of it because I watched it so many times when I was younger. It is one of the classics, in my humble opinion!Every one is so spunky and loveable in this film, especially the red-haired kid whose favourite catchphrase is. "...Ya think?" I really reccommend this to families, (with kids over twelve). The small amount of swearing and suggestive behaviour isn't enough to deter parents from letting their kids watch such an entertaining movie. Well, I don't think it should be anyhoo. The story is a real roller coaster ride, and a bit of a nail-biter, if like me, you tend to get caught up in the midst of things and forget that it's just a movie! There is never a dull moment with this little gem. Watch it, enjoy it and feel good, is all I'm trying to say.

Summary: Re-release this AWESOME movie!!
Review: This movie is the best movie I have seen in a long time. I watched it a lot when I was younger. I taped it off the TV, so I could watch it all the time, but my nasty brother taped over it so I no longer have it. I would really like a copy of this great movie. So it should really be re-released!!!

Summary: Baby-sittin' Blues....
Review: This movie is an un-appreciated classic! It's got everything...even a 'bald Chinese woman with no pants on!'...well, we don't actually SEE her, but still... I believe the true show-stealer is Anthony Rapp, who play's Brad's Playboy-toting best friend Darryl. It was interesting to see Rapp, who I have seen in movies 'Road Trip' and 'Dazed and Confused', and on Broadway in RENT, at about 15. All in all, this movie should be in every family's video collection, and it should be re-released on VHS so i can replace my worn copy!

Summary: Don't Mess With This Babysitter!
Review: In the tradition of the "Goonies," Elisabeth Shue shines in her first starring role as Chris, whose day starts out on a bad note. After her boyfriend cancels their date, Chris decided to babysit for a couple who are in dire need for her services. In care of charges, Brad and Sarah, Chris believes this will be an ordinary job, however trouble comes knocking, first when Brad's pest of a friend, Daryl comes to stay over, and then when Chris' best friend is stranded at the bus depot in downtown Chicago. What follows are a series of madcap adventures that take these suburban kids into the heart of the city. After their car's tire goes flat, the Chris and the kids must find a way to find their way back home and go help her friend at the same time. However, when they run into a car-theft ring headquarters, their night won't be the same again. Featuring a wonderful cast including many actors unknown back then (Penelope Ann Miller as Chris' friend; Vincent D'Onofrio as the mechanic, etc.), "Adventures in Babysitting," marks the directorial debut for director Chris Columbus ("Home Alone"; "Stepmom"; the upcoming "Harry Potter" film adaption) who does an excellent job of making this film work. His ability to stretch character limits works well here, as he is able to place the kids in nearly impossible scenarios. The most memorable scene in this film that captures Columbus' imaginative directing features Sarah scrawling the windows of the towering building in downtown Chicago where her father works at night. As she scrawls the windows in fleeing from a member of a car-theft ringleader, she sees her parents at their party from the outside. Who could have thought of such a funny way of seeing your parents at the wrong place and wrong time? Similar to other amazing average-day adventure films such as "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," and the "Goonies," - "Adventures in Babysitting," is still as entertaining today as it was over a decade ago. Truly this is one of the late 1980's hidden comedic gems.

Summary: An underrated classic
Review: One of my own all time favorites, this film hasn't lost its charm over the years. I've always thought Maltin passed over this film a little too quickly. It's rare these days to see a movie with any sort of involving plot, and the innumerable twists and turns of this one are enough to make the journey worthwhile. With an absolutely stellar soundtrack, heavy on the blues, every moment has a meaning. Adventures in Babysitting deserves a rank among classics like Ferris Bueller's Day off and The Princess Bride. This isn't just another 80's movie and it's less about the babysitting than the adventure. Watch and enjoy, and by all means stay through the end of the credits for the surprise at the end.
