It's another one of these movies which was supposed to be great, but ended up being so bad that it kind of looped around, going back to being great. That is, if you like really, really, really, REALLY bad movies.
Twin Sitters is a 1994 comedy that centers around two body building twin brothers who are hired by an informant to protect his twin nephews from the people he's informing on.
I'm sure a lot of people are probably not a fan (if they've even heard 0f) the barbarian brothers films led by Peter and David Paul, but I've always loved them. Twin Sitters is a silly comedy that gets a lot of inspiration from some of the classics of the genre like the three stooges, so the jokes are quite childish ad goofy at times which some might not find all that funny. The premise is simple but effective setting up the Barbarian Brothers with plenty of comedic scenarios to play with, and a fun atmosphere to thrive in.
This movie won't go down in the history books as an amazing film, but it is definitely a fun watch for the whole family. If you haven't seen Twin Sitters before, give it a chance because the kids should like it if nothing else.

For many millennials, the movie "Babysitters" is nostalgia for childhood, a symbol of the mid-90s era: flashy tracksuits, a Nintendo console (for our tube TVs - dandy), cool cars and hip-hop. It is under this sauce that John Paragon shows us an uncomplicated story about the adventures of twins Peter and David (the script, by the way, was written specifically for the Paul brothers).
The comedy looks pretty stupid with jokes a la Kevin McCallister, the lustful cleaner Lolita, infantile (and frankly stupid) jocks, their strange clothes, fights, chases. But for those who associate "Babysitters" with childhood, this film is about charismatic big men, about love for a home teacher, about showdowns with kids and, of course, a huge monster truck!
By the way, the film is popular only in the former CIS countries (that's why there are so many positive ratings on Kinopoisk), but at home it is almost unknown (compare the number of ratings on IMDb) and was not even shown in cinemas: either the creators understood that the viewer is unlikely to go to watch another comedy about the war of adults and children, whether because of competition with the movie giants, released in the same year.
The plot of the comedy is based on the already hackneyed story of the confrontation between children and adults.
Twins Peter and David are hapless waiters in a family restaurant, they love to cook and spend all their free time lifting weights. One evening, they accidentally save an influential businessman from an assassination attempt, and later he hires them as babysitters for his nephews... also twins! Anticipating a large fee and complete freedom in a large mansion, Peter and David agree and begin their duties, but the kids had their own plans: to bully and bring out the adults.

This movie is definitely funny, but not on it's own right. The fact is, this movie is absolutely terrible! Starring the Barbarian bros., the only reason one could have for watching this movie is to make fun of how moronic it is. However, although the movie is one of the worst I've ever seen, sometimes I give credit where credit isn't due. I believe this movie is worth watching simply because it's so unintentionally HELARIOUS. Five stars out of five!
It's even better than this awfull Hulk Hogan movie 'Mr. Nanny' with a very similar plot. Sure the actors are certainly no 'Oscar worthy' containder but at least they try and it's a honest comedy for a midnight film if you are REALLY bored...
