    The Babysitter is one hilarious adult themed short!

    Just watched this on Atomfilms.com. This was a pretty hilarious comedy short about an-18-year-old blond babysitter reluctantly being left in charge of a much older-than-her offspring whose girlfriend just left him. To entice her to stay the guardians (one of whom I recognized as Molly Hagan from "Herman's Head") offer her $100. Things are strained until this "offspring" offers some beer...Directed by one David H. Steinberg (is he related to the comedian with the similar name? I gotta check him out), things start slow until the events after the beer. And wait till you see the surprise ending! Like I said, it's on Atomfilms.com. I highly recommend this one!

    Innovative concept

    The good thing about this movie is its innovative. New line of story and interesting.

    Acting is reasonable, there could have been more background about the leading lady.

    Above all i think its worth a watch, bit difficult to digest i suppose for many but altogether a good one without much of morality dialogues.

    I would give it a 6.

    Hot chick, great acting, perfect punchline, what else do you need?

    Look, I've watched a ton of these short films and let's face it, most of them are amateurish, filled with college friends as "actors," and have all the personality of a dead fish. This one is different.

    From the get go, this short film actually feels like a real "film." This is an overall quality that is definitely something in short supply on most of these around the internet. It has quality actors (which yes, provide quality acting), strong direction (strong in my opinion basically means the director KNOWS what the hell he wants and gets it), and great writing (the punchline at the end is perfect.)

    All in all, I give this a major thumbs up. It's got a hot chick in her underwear, writing that actually makes you laugh, and a punchline at the end that's worth the price of admission. Give it a look people. It's worth your time.
