Now its Maya's (Sabrina Carpenter) turn after Riley's (Rowan Blanchard) 'Invisible Sister'. I'm referring the two best friends from 'Girl Meets World'. This film saw a delayed release and initially it was said to be a sequel to the 80s film of the same name, but now it stated as an official remake. The basic theme was retained and the rest was modified to the present trend. They aimed for G and/or PG, not anything above that, so they had to give up those risky stuffs from the original, hence became a simple one night adventure.
The 100th film under the Disney channel's belt. I neither liked nor disliked it. It's a mixed feeling to me, but if you had loved the original film, which was for all ages, most certainly you won't enjoy this. This film is for those who had not seen the old version and it specially targeted for the little kids and tween audience. The main issue was the film characters doubled with the two babysitters and their two sets of children to be taken care, which means the adventures drastically shrunk.
There's no innovation and those altered scenes didn't do anything to lift the spirit of the narration. Especially the rap song was a disappointment compared to the 'Babysitting Blues' and also weak negative characters let the film down. But the display from the cast was amazing, if only they had refined story upto 60-70% new ideas, it had a good chance to impress the viewers. Overall, as a television film it did fared decently, but only when compared with the original, it goes stumbling.
5/10

For its 100 made for TV movie the Disney Channel launched its publicity machine for about six weeks. I'm not sure there wasn't one person within the range of a Disney affiliate in the world that did not know that this remake of the 1987 brat pack comedy Adventures In Babysitting. Nothing beats the Disney publicity machine when they want to push one of their products.
Having said that this was an easy to take teen comedy with Sabrina Carpenter and Sofia Carson as rival babysitters who lose one of their charges when she runs off to the big city alone, the big city here being where the film was shot Vancouver. Carpenter and Carson have to team up though they are poles apart in personality. Carpenter is most uptight, especially where heartthrob Kevin Quinn is concerned. Carson is a free spirit who seems to drift not knowing what she wants out of life.
Carpenter, Carson, and Quinn are Disney Channel regulars and young Max Lloyd-Jones who plays a most hunky police officer shows every signs of becoming a Magic Kingdom mainstay. The film borrows quite liberally from the Home Alone franchise where a bunch of McCauley Culkins outwit a pair of singularly inept crooks who want Carson's camera.
Nothing special here, but Adventures In Babysitting Redux is entertaining enough.

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 have to admit that I didn't hold real high expectations of this movie from the first time I saw they had done it. I rarely enjoy re-makes of movies. While this movie did give it a new spin kind of, I thought that the script itself really wasn't very good. I gave this movie a 6 out of 10 mostly because the actors in the film did a good job, they just unfortunately didn't have a good script.
I also have to admit that I had to watch the original movie after watching this one, because there were a few things that were in the new one that I didn't remember were in the old one.
I don't like to make negative remarks about stuff, but this movie just wasn't that great. The original was definitely better in my opinion.

....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.

Some might find it shocking to believe that it's possible to like both the original movie, and the remake. As the days approaching the release of this DCOM were fading away, I read posts by people who thought this was an attack on their childhood memories of the original, as well as those who were against all remakes no matter what. My childhood was long over when this came out, so that didn't bother me, and even if it wasn't I wouldn't have taken any offense to the remake's existence.
Sabrina Carpenter plays the new version of Chris Parker, named Jenny. She and Lola Perez (Sofia Carson), are artistic photographers competing for an apparently exclusive internship. During this interview both girls bump into each other and get their cell phones mixed-up, in a scene right out of "Stuck in the Suburbs." After they're done, Lola gets a parking ticket (one of many), from a rookie traffic cop who she develops a crush on. Desperate for cash to pay for that ticket, she accepts a babysitting job that was supposed to be offered to Jenny. Lola's charges turn out to be roller derby fan AJ Anderson, would-be pre-teen chef Bobby Anderson, and unknowingly teenage would be rebel Trey Anderson.
Former Miranda Cosgrove look-alike Nikki Hahn plays Emily Cooper, a 14-year-old emo girl who is determined to either shave her hair off or dye it green just to be noticed. She's the complete polar opposite of her 7-year-old sister Katy, who makes Quinn Morgendorffer look like the biggest bull dyke in the Bedford Hills Women's Prison. These two end up with Jenny as their babysitter, and when she calls up Lola's kids to check on her phone just as chaos is breaking out there, she drives the Cooper kids to the Anderson house hoping to intervene.
The runaway here is not frantic nerdy friend Brenda, but semi-cool rebellious teen Trey, who escapes from his room just as Jenny and her charges arrive, and unlike Penelope Ann Miller's character just wants to score some concert tickets. The girls look at his laptop and find out he was getting them from a pawn shop in the "big bad city," and decide to drive off in the GMC Yukon XL owned by the Anderson matriarch. When they arrive at the pawn shop, they find the owner is dealing with a stolen rare Saphire Ferrett, which Bobby Anderson spooks and accidentally lets loose in the store. Lola loves the commotion and takes pictures of the incident leading to a big chase in the city which is compromised by having that SUV towed away. Most of the chases with the bad guys have been compared to "Home Alone," and justifiably so. When they finally arrive at the pizza restaurant Trey loves, Lola talks him into giving away his tickets so she can scalp it and use the money to get Mrs. Anderson's SUV out of the impound. Emily isn't so happy when she finds that Trey and her friends are all ga-ga over Jenny. From this we can conclude that Trey Anderson is a combination of both Keith Coogan's character and Penelope Ann Miller's. After another chase, Lola tries to scalp the tickets but gets caught by the cops. A.J. Anderson's "Thor" is Roller Derby girl "Jailer Swift," and she meets her idol while her team and their rivals get busted for fighting outside of the rink. When they finally let Lola go, and the two roller derby teams get into another fight, the cops send them outside, right into the hands of the crooked pawn shop employees, and another chase begins.
Instead of stumbling into a blues night club and being forced to sing the blues, Jenny is forced to rap at a night club by a DJ, and Emily encourages Lola to turn it into a rap battle. Despite the fact that they both trash each other on stage (although the trashing is nowhere near as fierce as in "Let it Shine"), they actually bond with each other. Between the two of them Sofia Carson is the better dancer. Is it because she's older, taller, and more developed than Sabrina Carpenter? Maybe... or maybe not. Either way, most of the kids are impressed with both of them, except for Emily, who Jenny tries to cheer up before they finally find a way to get the money for the same towing company (albeit different driver), that towed the Anderson's SUV to the impound in this movie, as the one that towed the Buick Electra Estate Station Wagon through Chicago in 1987.
Fans of the original SHOULD see the remake. They should look for every contemporary version of the original scenes, and not just the rap battle between Carpenter and Carson replacing the Albert Collins-Elizabeth Shue concert. None of the girls are mistaken for playboy models, but horny guys will enjoy Sofia Carson in a one-piece bathing suit to make up for it. Nobody gets stuck on the ledge of a building or gets sidelined to the friend zone at least for that long. There's also no "Lords of Hell," to mess with, or any cheating boyfriends. Likewise, kids who would only know of the remake should see the original, if they haven't already. I almost considered listing scene comparisons and contrasts between the two versions as my review, but I changed my mind. Though it's more adventure than comedy, I got a big kick out of it, and I just think purists who are fans of the original shouldn't be dissuaded to see the new version due to a knee-jerk aversion to remakes and give it a break.

Jenny Parker is an obsessive organized overachiever who babysits on the side. Irresponsible Lola Perez failed to get into art college. They are both up for an internship for a famous photographer. They accidentally pick up each other's phone. Lola steals Jenny's babysitting job. It goes badly and one of Lola's kids sneak away to the city. Both girls and their gaggle of kids head off on their adventures in babysitting.
I find both Jenny and Lola annoying in the beginning. They are the bickering twins and I have no rooting interest. It's a little while until I find any redeeming quality about them. The little kids are alright and I really like a couple of them. By the police station, I can scrape up some rooting interest against the two bumbling wet bandits. It does fade over time. There are quite a few differences with the original but the most disappointing has to be missing the Thor helmet. With the surging interest in superhero, one would expect a return engagement of the costume. They seem to have replace it with roller derby girl. I like roller derby girl but it's a missed opportunity.

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.

that is so so nice movie full of adventure here you will gonna see how the babysitting is difficult maybe that's not gonna happen in real life but movie is about babysitting and that is so good way to show this whole mess with big trouble but every safe. i love this one and really enjoyed so much. that is present by Disney and we all know how popular Disney's stuff. IMDb rating 6.3 i thought this movie belong to 8 rating but that's is user's rating averages so that is OK maybe it will increase. in movie you can seen how jeen ( baby sitter) handling kids he got exchange her phone with another girl so she got in trouble but that is good they do a really good adventure a i love them how they got in trouble and they pass whole thing.

4 minutes in and it's already dreary.
This version has no charm. It also has no Elizabeth Shue who was an absolute awesome actress and still is.
This starts out bad and just continues to be bad.
It's a perfect movie to sleep to - and even though I worked on this film, it still wasn't impressive.
There were so many flaws in this movie - that it was nearly impossible for me to sit through.
This movie is ideal for kids 2 - 10 years old.
The police arrest was laughable - as was most of the story - but not in a funny way, rather a dreadful - on my gosh, how could it be so pathetic - way...

I liked it, the adaptations and changes were pertinent and made it more modern, keeping the essence, the charisma, full of adventure and fun, kept the main scenes, getting even more enjoyable to watch, despite the nagging with remakes with poetic freedom, here it fit perfectly all the changes promoted, very yummy, the two nannies are beautiful and cute...

A typical remake nobody asked for, but in this case doubled up, because in order to make it different, we don't have one babysitter but two of them. But that doesn't mean the movie was going to be twice as funny, actually this version is half as funny as the 1987's Chris Columbus release (no wonder the original one has 77% in Rotten Tomatoes), but even letting aside the original, this is not as watchable as other Disney movies like Descendants or Cloud Nine. But the most awkward thing Disney did to promote this movie was to take poor Sofia Carson and make her wear an impressive one piece swimsuit showing the best legs in Disney Channel's history, when there was absolutely no reason for that. Let's face it: that's the only one good reason to watch this movie. But when Disney tried to recreate one of the highlights of the 1987's version, only achieved to stage the most shameful rap performance ever seen on TV ("We're not quitters / we're the babysitters"). For these reasons, I don't think this remake should have a positive review. But I would like to see more from Sofia in the future, maybe not in Disney but, you know, if have it show it.

This Movie Is A Really Good Movie! I Have Watched It A Few Times And Each Time I Enjoyed Watching It. I Plan On Watching This Movie Again Very Soon Because I Just Love To Watch It. This Is By Far One Of Disney's Best Movies Of 2016! It's Worth Watching Again And Again! Sofia And Sabrina Really Did A Great Job Playing Lola And Jenny. I Like Every Movie I've Seen That Has Either Sofia Or Sabrina In It But I Still Come Back To This Movie! Best Movie They Ever Starred In! I Also Love Kevin's Performance As Zac Chase In This Movie! I Really Look Forward To Watching This Movie Again Very Soon! I Just Can't Wait For Then!!!
The original was better. The whole movie was boring and unbelievable. I wish they stuck to the same storyline as the original.

Back on my alphabetical run through the films on offer on Disney Plus and I'm back to "Adventures in Babysitting". I watched the original a few weeks ago and was underwhelmed. Controversially, despite a truly cringey scene, I think I actually prefer this one.
After accidentally swapping mobiles, two very different teenagers, studious and reliable Jenny (Sabrina Carpenter) and carefree and rebellious Lola (Sofia Carson) end up babysitting for two neighbourhood families on the same night. Having learned about each other and met up to trade phones, the girls and their charges head into the city to track down Trey (Max Gecowets), the eldest child who has snuck off to attend a concert. Tracking him down, they come to the attention of a pair of criminals and their ferret smuggling ring. (no really).
I'm not trying to be deliberately contrary, declaring this the superior version of the story, and I don't want to give the impression that this film is actually good. It's typical Disney TV Movie stuff, the children are all painfully clean cut, and each has their own 'hilarious' quirk that ends up feeding back into the plot of the movie. None of the performances are that terrible though, which is good, as those are often the case with this Disney originals and that would have made the film unbearable. The scene when they recreated the "Singing the blues" moment from the original, now updated to a rap battle, naturally, is horrible though and I physically cringed all the way through it.
It does, though, have a better and more logical story than the original. Making the reason for heading into the city one of the kids, rather than another teenager who should know better makes sense, as does fitting the film around a concert and neutering the villains of the film from the actual mob, to a pair of "Home Alone"-esque clowns.
Again, it's not good - but I didn't hate every minute of it and with a gun to my head, I'd watch this version of "Adventures in Babysitting" over the original.

This movie is mostly geared for young kids. While watching there were so many bad decisions made that it was hard for me to keep watching. The constant bickering of the babysitters started to get tiring.
The two men after the kids reminded me more of Home Alone than the original Adventures in Babysitting. Not only did they lose one kid they end up loosing another later on because the babysitters are arguing again. It was like good cop bad cop with these two the whole movie. Talking about cops the whole police station scene was ridiculous.
Also no way does it take less than an hour to clean up the very big mess in the house that the kids made plus washing the vehicle.
Just saying that the parents had a short drive from the city but when the babysitters and kids went to the city earlier it was daytime and completely dark by the time they made it there.
There is definitely some bad writing in this movie.
In the end all the kids and the two bestie babysitters were all happy so everything worked out.
I wouldn't watch this again but I am older and it seems geared for 10 year olds.

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
