IMDB
When her boyfriend cancels a date, Chris (Elisabeth Shue) takes a job babysitting for the Andersons. She's supposed to be babysitting Sarah, but when Brad gets wind that Chris is going to babysit he decides to stay home due to his hopeless crush on her. Chris gets a call from her best friend Brenda, who is stuck at a bus station with no money. Chris agrees to pick her up, and they're soon joined by Daryl, Brad's best friend. Much craziness ensues.
As dumb as this movie is, it still is very entertaining. It's one of the few movies I own on DVD (although I plan on getting more movies when I have some extra money).
Elisabeth Shue is great as the lead, and the kids are good, although Brad has a truly terrible haircut. There's some funny moments and it's pretty fast-paced. Worth watching and pretty good as far as 80s comedies go.
7.5/10
