Chris Parker agrees to babysit after her "dream" date stands her up. Expecting a dull evening, Chris settles down with three kids for a night of TV ... and boredom. But when her frantic friend Brenda calls and pleads to be rescued from the bus station in downtown Chicago, the evening soon explodes into an endless whirl of hair-raising adventures! Babysitter and kids leave their safe suburban surroundings and head for the heart of the big city, never imagining how terrifyingly funny their expedition will become!

Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast

Joe Lipsett

A romp of a family film that hasn't aged particularly well in its treatment of POC, but features a fun, sexy lead performance by Elizabeth Shue and an escalating number of ridiculous "the city is scary" developments that make for a very entertaining time.

This kind of teen-oriented movie died out in the 1990s, and today that leaves Babysitting without a comfortable place to sit.

Sara Michelle Fetters

Adventures in Babysitting holds up because it is so remarkably progressive in its depiction of its primary female characters.
