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...

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.

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 starts out looking like a big stinker and for the first half hour or so it is. Then it suddenly falls into place. It stops being about The Falcone Brothers (Peter and David Paul) flexing and starts being a touching story of orphaned twins (Christian and Joseph Cousins, superb as always) coming to terms with their situation. Worth renting, but probably not worth owning.

A great movie for all ages, especially for people with a goofy sense of humor. The Barbarion Brothers act like big kids throughout the whole movie, always putting jokes first. One of the funniest things about this movie is the brothers' outfits, kinda like a mix of David Lee Roth and The Ultimate Warrior, but even weirder then that. Can't help but laugh at em, for one scene David is wearing a phone cord with a sign on it! This is probably my fave Barbarion Brothers movie, and their last one! (come on guys make a new movie, please!)

When the film starts the brothers are trying to save up money to open a restaraunt, until they get hired to babysit two twin boys. From then on its pretty much a bunch of funny mishaps and adventures trying to get along with the twin kids, a few fight scenes with the bad guys, and the bros driving their monster truck. I always crack up at the scene where the brothers first get their big paycheck, and they totally lose it like little kids, jumping and givin high fives, yellin "MONEEEEY!" There's actually a lot of great scenes. Also of note are the songs the Barbarion Brothers wrote for this movie, they are really funny. This has got to be one of my favorite comedies ever, really goofy, but if you're only into serious movies, I'd say watch it anyway to see adult bodybuilders act like funny kids! It'll cheer you up for sure.
