adventures+in+babysitting | Year: 1987 Directed: - Chris Columbus Actors/Actresses: - Elisabeth Shue All A Movie Should Have! "Adventures in Babysitting" mixes humour, horror and action together in this amazing, live-action "babysitting" flick! There is so much to love about this movie. One is the opening scene where Chris Parker (Elisabeth Shue) is dancing to the goldie "And Then He Kissed Me." Two is the humour. You'll be blue in the face when it is done from laughing so much. The Anderson children and their friend Daryl are the funniest if you want my opinion. Oh...There is so much to list. When Chris Parker's (Elisabeth Shue) boyfriend, Mike Todwell, cancels their anniversary date to a french restaurant, Chris is asked to watch the Anderson children while their parents go out. Over at the Andersons' home, Chris's best friend, Brenda, calls and tells Chris she has run away to the city of Chicago and needs a ride home. So now Chris takes the children into the city, be-friended by their neighbour, Daryl, to come across very exciting adventure. * * * * *! I also would recommend these films: POLTERGEIST I, II, III (* * * * *) - ALEX KINGSTON/MOLL FLANDERS (* * * 1/2) - THE MATRIX (* * * * 1/2). All excellent films. Thanks and enjoy. A Night on the Town???? If someone could tell me why some movies have two titles,that would be great......./Anyway//Liz Shue plays a 17 year old babysitter who is stuck babysitting 3 brats(2 are teens)after her conceited boyfriend stands her up for the school hussy.That's NOT where the hardships end.A trip into the city to rescue her best friend who has run away from home and is stuck at an airport with a mob of wackos(including a bald chinese lady with no pants on and a man waving a gun around and grinning)leads to one mishap and dangerous adventure after another.Will they ever make it home b4 the kids parents get home???It is pretty funny,especially Daryl,a smart-mouth who laughs like a deranged loony at everything.When I was 15,this movie actually made me WANT to get stuck in the city with those kinds of scary adventures,which means I'm sorta weird I guess. WHEN THE SHUE FITS ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING is a wonderfully entertaining film from the late eighties that still resonates almost 20 years later. Chris Columbus (the future director of the first two Harry Potter films) brings us a series of vignettes resulting in Elizabeth Shue's Chris Parker babysitting for the precious Maia Brewton and the mooneyed Keith Coogan. Shue is marvelous; Coogan and Anthony Rapp are delightful; and little Maia is appropriately cute and loveable. Penelope Ann Miller as the nearsighted Brenda is a riot...especially when she picks up a stray "cat" at the bus station.<BR>Of course, the primo scene is the "nobody leaves till you sing the blues" with Albert Collins. Shue's transformation as she gets into the "Babysitter Blues" is priceless.<BR>This is one feel good movie, and in spite of some of its profanity, a film everyone should enjoy.<BR>It's a minor classic to me!!!
