  The movie should be called "Don't Forget the Babysitter's Dead." Because, after the first 20 minutes, you will. The plot, as absurd as it gets, is stupidly fun. However, the characters are far from likable.

  Once again I'm hit by a wave of nostalgia. I will admit that I'm inflating the grade here, and giving it more props than maybe it's worth, but I can't help it. This film may be typical and predicatble, but I dig it. The story concerns a bunch of wild siblings who,… More
  Once again I'm hit by a wave of nostalgia. I will admit that I'm inflating the grade here, and giving it more props than maybe it's worth, but I can't help it. This film may be typical and predicatble, but I dig it. The story concerns a bunch of wild siblings who, after their mom leaves for an extended overseas trip, are put into the care of a mean and strict babysitter. However, the hell they face with her is nothing compared to the hell they have to endure after she passes away unexpectedly, forcing the kids to grow up and become mature responsible people, which is even more of a drag since it means not spending their summer having all they fun they had planned on. This is an unrealistic fantasy, but it's charming and really funny. Plus, I' sure plenty of parents would love to come home someday to see their wild, heavy metal stoner son all cleaned up, straight, and wearing nice clothes like a real gnetleman. The cool thing about this movie though, is that once the characters make changes, you do feel like maybe they really mean it (at least for some of them), and they didn't change totally out of necessity to fit a temporary situation. This film is a bit of a mess, implausible, and dated to a degree, but it's fun, so there.

  Not my cup of tea but then I guess it wasn?t aimed at me!

• Coxxie M

  
  ive probably seen this. whether i have or havent, its nothing special.

• Curtis L

  
  Been a while. First movie I ever saw that had boobs in it (they were on the kids poster on the wall)

• Dean M

  
  No sooner has Mum popped off to Oz, than the babysitter pops her clogs, leaving the kids to fend for themselves. A great idea is largely wasted, although it gets funnier towards the end. If you've started, you may as well finish.

• Candy R

  
  Teen movie about five kids who are left with a baby sitter who kicks the bucket.

  Christina Applegate stars as a high school graduate, whose mother leaves for a two-month summer vacation in Australia, putting all five siblings in the care of a strict geriatric babysitter. When the babysitter suddenly dies in her sleep, Applegate (as the eldest) assumes the role as "head of the household" to enjoy the freedom of having no parents around. She fakes a resume to get a job in the fashion industry and lands herself the enviable position of an "Executive Administrative Assistant? but she soon learns that being an adult is not all that easy." It?s all amusing and one gets to see David Duchovny in an early role.

• Leina R

  
  Funny teen film.

• Sunil J

  
  Used to watch this on cable when i was a kid. Silly but fun.

• Keith M

  
  Still entertaining after all these years. I love HBO for every now and again bringing back the movies I use to watch all the time on HBO when I was a kid, and that was back when there was only one HBO. Now I have 7 HBOs and I love it.

• Lee K
