Adventures in Babysitting

Disney is celebrating its 100th Disney Original Movie with its recreation of the 1987 movie "Adventures in Babysitting".

The movie does well in its own right but when compared to the original version of the movie the movie falls a little flat. There are little to no innovative choices made by the production team in this version. They do manage to retain some of the 80's humor without seeming too cheesy, but some parts of the movie such as the "baddies" seem to have been pulled straight from the previous century.

The cast is chosen well with the banter between Disney Veterans Sabrina Carpenter and Sofia Carson providing a great few chuckles throughout the movie. The charming child actors/actresses in the movie do great to cause mischief without seeming too cliché.

despite the mediocre script and the outdated "baddies" the movie performs well as a comedy for a TV Movie thanks to the great performance by the cast. 7/10 - Worth a watch

The original Adventures in Babysitting movie is an all-time classic.

So how dare they these, depraved of creativity hashers base hash show off of a legend movie. This was disrespectful.

Bad actors, horrible camera quality, cheap environments, cliché annoying characters, crappy soundtrack and tropes. This was grade A Hash. No other show or movie has been called grade A Hash before.

I was appalled to what I witnessed. This was not good at all.

I'm not sure if it was as good as the original but it was still a lighthearted movie.

....and this is not it. Where have all the Hollywood writers gone? Is everything now just a remake? Are studios just lazily taking short-cuts to profit earnings? I don't know who decided that one of the most quintessential 80s movies needed a remake for the pre/early-teen Disney generation. Somethings should not be touched. Elizabeth Shue's version of Adventures in Babysitting is absolutely one of those things. The writers took the script of the 1987 version and tweaked it jusssst enough so that kids today could find enjoyment and in doing so, they created a poorly acted cheap thrills forgettable TV movie that fails to capitalize on the legendary status of it's namesake. For what it's worth, I'm a parent and I watched the original version.....and this version......with my kids. They enjoyed the original version more than this one (bonus points for the Thor lookalike). There's no reason anyone should have ever made this film and there's no reason you should ever feel the need to waste an hour or so watching this version as long as the original version still exists.

Don't mess with a classic 80s comedy. This remake of Adventures in Babysitting is pretty pitiful. The entire plot is based on people making decisions that no normal person would make in real life. And while the young actors aren't terrible, the situations they are put in and the lines they have to deliver are cringe-worthy. Although now I'm wondering how the original holds up.
