I remember watching this when I was in third grade at school and yet I used to love it that I also remember it coming on television that I had to go and watch it whenever it came on. The movie was funny and I could laugh at anything.
Now, at 17, I couldn't remember much about this movie since I didn't watch it for the past years. So, when I borrowed it from the library, learning that it was about a woman who agrees to take care of three kids and must revenge to save her friend who has ran away and spend the whole night trying to find her, I found the movie to be O.K. overall.
I remember how it used to be called, "A Night on the Town" and I was baffled by the change in the title.
17-year-old Chris Parker (Elizabeth Shue) is stood up by her boyfriend (Bradley Whitford). She is then convinced to babysit. While taking care of three kids, Brad, the older brother of the Anderson family, Sara, the bratty and bossy younger sister, and Daryl, the vigorous high-school boy whom we know is the best friend of Brad. One of the kids are obsessed with the comic book, Thor, so the adventure may turn out to be rambunctious... and it does.
With loads of laughter, scares and cliffhangers, this chilling adventure blended with all three action-packed dimensions turns it into a one big adventure for the whole family. Though, I'm going to have to say that the acting was pretty bad for an 80s film and could've used some work, the script was fairly entertaining for all and I think the whole movie was just fun, fun fun. The one thing I found annoying was the little girl, Sara. She was a bit of a self-centered kid at some points, but she turns out to be good and she learns to care and she also learns that it's better to let the big brother do what he does and what he wants.
6.1/10
