Review by bctxcoll

I first watched this movie, back in June of 1992, and throughly enjoyed the movie. This movie was about five siblings left alone with a tyrannic elderly babysitter, after their mom went to Australia for the summer. The first night of the babysitter's stay she passes away, and the kids drop her off at the morgue. Throughout the movie, the siblings are doing everything they can to hide the fact that the babysitter is dead from their mom. There is one problem, someone has to get a job, and that ends up being Sue Ellen "Swell" Crandell (Christina Applegate) the oldest. She gets a job as an administration at a clothes factory. She works real hard both at keeping the company from falling under and keeping her siblings in line. At her work, she is having a conflict with Carolyn a receptionist, and keeping a older man named Gus from coming onto her. At home everyone is learning to how take responsibility. Overall this movie is well worth-watching for anyone, especially for anyone who likes comedy, and drama.
