Seemed fun at the time, in '87, but dates badly. Still, kids might like it.

Rating: B+ --
The light tone, classical style, and Shue as Sandra Dee stand-in are more indicative of a cinematic mindset from approximately 25 years earlier.

By the end of the film, I'd had a couple of real laughs and a few interesting moments, but that was about all.

A sweet-natured, adolescent variation on the big-city black comedy After Hours.

Rating: 7/10 --
Like "Home Alone," "Adventures in Babysitting" is a lightweight comic adventure, but it's effective in what it sets out to do . . . and that's entertain.

Easy-to-take effort that primarily benefits from a charming performance by Elisabeth Shue.

Creative Loafing
The direction is fast-paced, the characters are vulnerable and sympathetic and even the bad guys have their moments.

Adventures In Babysitting
Chris Parker (Elisabeth Shue, THE KARATE KID, CALL TO GLORY) agrees to babysit after her "dream" date stands her up.

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!
