Critic Reviews

  • Caryn James, New York Times

    The Baby-Sitters Club is like an average installment of the series, aimed at girls who can't get enough of their fictional friends in any form.

  • Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

    A beautiful film that possesses the power to enchant all ages.

  • Hal Hinson, Washington Post

    A colorful, buoyant, loving tribute to the notion of girlfriends forever.
