Very best movie i ever watch
Film Perfection
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Absolutely one of the WORST movies I've ever watched. Pointless is the word. Utterly pointless. The movie follows one night at the Tucker home where we find Alicia Silverstone's character having a rather uneventful night babysitting two kids: Jimmy and Bitsy. The movie is about... well.... three horny and drunk men having fantasies about having sex with the babysitter. But that's all it is.... FANTASIES! DAYDREAMING! IMAGINING! If only this movie spent more time on actual events rather than imagining alone, maybe it would have had a shot at 2/10 rating. But this junk deserves -0. This movie is listed under "psychological thriller" on Netflix. The only thing 'The Babysitter' did was psychologically bore me and thrillingly annoy me. I want my 90 minutes back.
I caught this on a boring summer afternoon on, surprise!, Lifetime. The story itself COULD be promising- an innocent teen babysitter is unwittingly the object of obsession for virtually every man she encounters in one night- but the filmmakers try to turn it into a masterpiece of surrealism that it obviously is not. The acting is pretty shallow and most of the 'fantasies' are just downright creepy, not thought provoking. The movie will leave you feeling like you just dropped a massive amount of acid. Don't waste your time.
This movie made absolutely no sense to me. Maybe because I'm only fourteen, but I watched it with my mom and I have to say I think you'd have to be a genius to follow along. Everyone seems to have some sort of obsession with Alicia Silverstone...sure, she's pretty, but how can at least 3 guys have such similarly perverted visions about the same girl? I mean, even the kid had a vision of her and he's, what, TEN? She's pretty but we can't over-exagerate ((sorry, I'm not great with spelling and grammar, I'm still a kid)) on it. Whoop-di-do what's so great about her? Maybe it's because I'm a girl? Well whatever it was, I personally found this movie unbecoming and confusing.
...so it's hard to believe anyone is checking out THE BABYSITTER for her lisping, nymphet presence. What you have here is low-grade, late-night, Cinemax fare trying to capitalize on Silverstone's ability to come off as Lolita to a reasonably capable cast of old pros like George Segal and J.T. Walsh (along with one of those London twins for youthful good measure). This kind of a film needs some sexual momentum to keep it entertaining; and, sadly, this movie is lacking in eroticism...Silverstone more so.
