Reviews of Adventures in Babysitting 1987
-
best music scene in a movie hands down
-
first film i ever got caught masturbating to. the shue dance sequence at the beginning is seriously too much to handle. even today. im sure you understand.
though after getting banned from the local multiplex for my actions during a screening of Percy Jackson, im starting to wonder if chris columbus just has my number and can feel my inner desires
always dreamt of a porn empire taking off with a first feature homage titled adventure sin babysitting

On paper, Adventures in Babysitting should be a pretty weak film. The stars are mostly child actors, inexperienced by definition. Its setup, babysitting, is one of the most mundane activities there is. And turning that into an adventure is patently absurd. But Adventures in Babysitting takes that absurdity and runs with it, providing funny scene after funny scene, an entertaining narrative, and any weakness in the acting of the child stars is more than made up for by Shue and the various character actors throughout the film. Chris Columbus couldn’t have asked for a better directorial debut. Read full review.

One of the coolest soundtracks of 80s films, one of the best openings and bloody gorgeous flawless Elizabeth Shue. STRONG FEMALE CHARACTERS. That little girl is mega badass too.
Did Nick and Norah ever admit that they basically homaged the whole 'stranded in a bus station' thing from this film?!

I wish I had seen this as a kid. Really enjoyable adventure movie, great soundtrack and everything is tied together nicely.

Pocas películas reviven toda la gloria de mi ochentera infancia como ésta. "Una noche por la ciudad" es probablemente la película que más disfruto de Columbus y creo que es una de las mejores películas familiares que se han hecho. Está llena de momentos clásicos, frases memorables (Nobody leaves here without singing the blues), y personajes entrañables; tiene además a una imposiblemente guapa y juvenil Elisabeth Shue siendo confundida con la playmate del mes, asunto que desata una noche llena…

This has got to be one of my favourite films of all time. There are a couple of reasons for this:
* It is simply brilliant
* There is a massive chance that growing up this was the only film ever on so it was like it or lump itIt is unfortunate that on this site you can only list one day that you watched a film. If you could list more than one date I would be selecting…

'Don't F*ck With The Babysitter!'
Shue just owns in this movie, but all the cast is good here. Miller is great in her bus station scenes, and D'Onofrio as 'Thor' is fantastic. I love all the crazy places this films takes. even finds time for a blues number! The music is great too!

Elisabeth Shue is awesome.

A childhood favorite. Chris Columbus was a household name in my family so this was a seminal film for the Lynch clan. A blast of Amblin-esque fun, D'Nofrio as Thor (!!) and Shue is adorable. Plus, Bradley Whitford as a teen subplot? Good times in Chi-town.
