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.

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.

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 is the best 90's comedy EVER made! I challenge you to find a better movie than this. The Barbarian Brothers are at their acting peak as Peter and David Falconi, two musclebound twins who are fired from their job as waiters at the world's most disgusting Italian restaurant. They try to get a bank loan (unsuccessfully) and are bemoaning their loss in a local park when three gangsters try to shoot a local shipping tycoon (played by John Paragon) who's decided to inform on his nefarious bosses' activities. Anyways, the Brothers save all the kids from the snipers, and become local heroes--and get a NEW job, working for shipping tycoon as the babysitters for his twin nephews, Bradley and Stephen. Bradley & Stephen are the world's most uptight preppy blond identical brats, and so the Barbarians face the considerable challenge of enlightening them to the wisdom of pasta, funky-ass clothes, and riding around in their monster truck. The Barbarians fall in love with Stephen and Bradley's tutor (who looks like Jennifer Connely) and end up duking it out with the bad guys. THE TWINSITTERS DRINKING GAME: take a shot every time the Butler drops a tray! I dare you!

The Barbarian Brothers (Peter and David Paul) are hired by a wealthy businessman (Jared Martin) to look after his twin nephews while he testifies against his evil boss (JAMES BOND himself, George Lazenby). Do you think the older twins will be able to handle the younger twins? Hijinks aplenty! It says something sad about me when I get a package from someone that includes MULHOLLAND DRIVE and EMMANUELLE movies and this is what I watch first. Hey, at least I didn't watch the movie where Gary Busey is reincarnated as a dog...yet. Believe it or not, the Barbarian Brothers are actually funny in this movie. Of course, it is as goofy as a later ERNEST flick. How can you not love a movie that opens with Paul Bartel getting linguini all over his face? And you get former American GLADIATOR Nitro as one of the villains. And monster trucks and stunt choreography by Spirio Razatos! Oh how I would kill to see the Barbarian Brothers take on the McNamara twins (of TWIN DRAGON ENCOUNTER fame). Female lead Rena Sofer really hit a career low a few years later, co-starring in a very unsuccessful Fox TV show called 24 (!).
