"Let me come right out and say it: I am a 23 year old man who owns this movie on DVD and I am not afraid to say it. Some may call this movie a "guilty pleasure" film--I however, prefer to call it a damn fine movie.Adventures in Babysitting is a roller-coaster ride from start to finish and the more ridiculous and campy it gets, the better the movie becomes. What is amazing about this movie is that, despite the rather zany storylines, nothing ever becomes so overly convoluted that you can no longer take the film seriously.

Plus the jacket art is awesome. "

Suddenly you are flooded with images and memories that take you back to simpler and perhaps happier times. Unfortunately there is also a less pleasant possibility to nostalgia, one that can remind you how much more mature you are compared to when you were younger. Long story short: It can make you feel old. Thankfully upon a recent viewing of Adventures in Babysitting I learned that perhaps I’m still not quite too old to enjoy this fun little film. While not high art, this is a movie that still gets a few good laughs out me to this day.The story is simple: An unwilling high school senior Chris Parker (Elizabeth Shue) is asked to sit for a group of kids. After the kids’ parents leave she gets a collect call from her friend who has runaway from home. So on a trip to the bus station in “the city” comedy ensues for our cast of ... "
