Bad Behavior

Saw this film being advertised on Lifetime yesterday, and I thought: "Huh, this could be a interesting movie."

And boy was I wrong. What made me hate this already was the poor common sense and the creepy teenage kid who was no help whatsoever (complaining and being a freaking pervert in front of his kid sister).

Throughout the film I thought the kids were going to tell the babysitter what's up with their brother, but they keep on saying: "We're not suppose to talk about it." WELL, maybe you should since your brother is trying to HURT or KILL you.

And let's not forget the parents. Oho~ They didn't even bother to tell the babysitter about the insane brother. Nope.

So if you guys want to watch a film where there's less suspense, annoying teenage boys, and poor actions? Then this is the film for you, folks.

A typical day for young babysitter Zoe quickly goes wrong after she puts the kids to bed. Within a few hours she is not only fighting for her life, but the lives of others as well. This movies spins quite the tale of family issues, sibling rivalry, drug dependence, delusions, denial and their own past. This all leads to quite the culmination as we learn that one child has psychotically violent tendencies, that have been getting worse, and can happen at any time. It is up to Zoe to save the others when the inevitable does happen. This film makes one think about how they would handle themselves in a similar situation. How would you react?

Zoe (Hallee Hirsh) arrives for a babysitting job. The parents (Linda Hamilton and Ted McGinley) go out for the evening, leaving Zoe with their trio of kids. Not-so surprisingly, Zoe's boyfriend shows up as well.

Odd occurrences, including a disappearance and a rampaging madman commence.

BAD BEHAVIOR starts out in typical killer-on-the-loose fashion, then screeches to a halt when Zoe and the kids hunker down in the bathroom. This amounts to their spending a big chunk of the movie sitting there, jumping whenever there's a bang or pounding on the door.

On the positive side, there are a few humorous moments, as well as some tension. There's also a decent twist at the end, although It's sort of a slog to get there!

Fans of Ms. Hamilton take note: She's only in this movie at the beginning and the end, a total of about 5-10 minutes...

It was an okay movie but I found somethings stupid like Grace doesn't eat Pepperoni says its Murdered Meat but she ate a baloney sandwich. Zoe knew Melissa the previous babysitter what happened to her? that Zoe wouldn't know about? Where was Kansas when Zoie was fighting Jack? he was almost untied. In the end was Kansas dead in the bathtub? how did Zoie n Kansas wind up back in the bathroom? why would jack cut off his own ear and let Zoe think it was Kansas? it definitely was a strange movie but I liked both Zoe and Tyler having good come backs to each other. What is weird is that this apparently happened before from someone else baby sitting in the neighborhood so why didn't Zoe know about it; seemed like everyone knew each other, went to school together so how could Jack not like strangers in the house? he went to school with them... oh well just another day in the neighborhood.

I truly wish I could give this rating less than a full star. I saw the previews and thought it would be a great film. Boy was I wrong. It was actually rather boring, annoying, and poorly written. The actors were horrible. The entire plot of the story was horrible. I am so upset that I watched this movie. It was an hour and a half of my life that I can never get back. I was hoping that at some point, it would get better. The movie made absolutely no sense. Throughout the entire movie, I kept asking myself the obvious questions that any viewer would ask. Just horrible. I would recommend that the writers should have considered making the movie to make sense to the viewer, including the plot, characters, and even the characters behaviors. Do yourself a favor, do not watch this. Thumbs down.
