Bianca P Absolutely one of the WORST movies I've ever watched. Pointless is the word. Utterly pointless. The movie follows one night at the Tucker home where we find Alicia Silverstone's character having a rather uneventful night babysitting two kids: Jimmy and Bitsy. The movie is about... well.... three horny and drunk men having fantasies about having sex with the babysitter. But that's all it is.... FANTASIES! DAYDREAMING! IMAGINING! If only this movie spent more time on actual events rather than imagining alone, maybe it would have had a shot at 2/10 rating. But this junk deserves -0. This movie is listed under "psychological thriller" on Netflix. The only thing 'The Babysitter' did was psychologically bore me and thrillingly annoy me. I want my 90 minutes back.
Raul Faust A suspenseful movie from the nineties is always an apparently good choice. However, it is not the case in "The Babysitter". Once the film begins, we don't know which way it is going to go, considering the characters are mysterious and directing is undecided. One character to be noticed is Mark, whose actions are questionable all the while, being very similar to Kelly from 2004's "The Girl Next Door". After 30 or 40 minutes, I started getting bored, since nothing much really happened, and I also couldn't care less about the story, given that the movie was all about everyone imagining banging with Jennifer all the time. In the end, the movie ended pointlessly and felting like a big waste of mine. Original story anyways.
adi_2002 Harry & Dolly, a married couple with their three children have a nanny Jennifer. One evening when the two go to a party, she comes at their home for what will be again a ordinary day of work. Her boyfriend, Jack meets Mark, a lover that Jennifer had a relationship before. They have fun that night until he tells to give his girlfriend's a call to ask her if he can go at her workplace. How things are not going well between them, she refused saying it needs more time to figure out their relationship and where it goes, anyway she can't let him come because she must take care of children. Mark not satisfied with this answer and convinces him to go there and let him still inside. But this time Jack it's not lucky, it is rejected and Mark offered him to spy her so they can see what she does until he comes to the idea wondered if she forget the door open when it was closed in the nose. The strange thing is that in reality the door is open so that the two can easily enter the house. Meanwhile, the owners are busy getting drunk at the party and Harry thinks at the nanny has his fantasies with her and looking for any excuse to go home. Find one saying that his head hurts because of so much alcohol and have to return home in order to take a pill. Meanwhile between good guy and bad guy altercation occurs which Mark wins for a moment. Drunk husband manages to reach home with the car, hit Mark, the police arrives, nanny got into the car and the question is what were you thinking? That is, what we thought when we decided to watch this movie?Of course the best are those few smiles in this movie during the dreams. But even so to see one at every 10 minutes is not quite right.Can not say anything about this film than continue to dream and change it.
g404c I first saw The Babysitter when it was released all the way back in 1995, and it still holds up well today. This sleeper stars Alicia Silverstone as the babysitter, who is the obsession of many males in the film. Mr. Tucker (played by J.T. Walsh), the father of the children she babysits, lusts after her, as does her boyfriend, Jack (played by Jeremy London), and a neighborhood rebel, Mark (played by Nicky Katt).Based on a short story by Robert Coover, The Babysitter goes like this: After refusing a date with Mark, the babysitter goes to the Tucker residence on a Friday night to babysit the three children there. Jack is reading Catcher in the Rye in a diner when Mark comes along and begins to coax him into hanging out with him, which leads to the two of them spying on the babysitter while she is looking after the children. The Tuckers are at a party but Mr. Tucker finds any excuse to go home, much to the dismay of his wife, Dolly (good performance given by Lee Garlington) who herself fantasizes about Bill (played by George Segal), the party host. Many of the characters consume alcohol, and the combination of booze and their own obsessions leads to a deadly climax.The Babysitter contains many dream sequences which may be difficult to discern from the actual happenings if you are viewing for the first time. All of the players in this movie do a great job. It is very different and I recommend it.
