About this movie

Chris Parker (Elisabeth Shue) agrees to baby-sit after her "dream" date stands her up. Expecting a dull evening, Chris settles down with three kids for a night of TV ... and boredom. But when her frantic friend Brenda calls and pleads to be rescued from the bus station in downtown Chicago, the evening soon explodes into an endless whirl of hair-raising adventures! Babysitter and kids leave their safe suburban surroundings and head for the heart of the big city, never imagining how terrifyingly funny their expedition will become!

Ratings and reviews

Its almost impossible to find these kind of movies anymore. A comedy that is approachable for families, but still has laughs for sardonic degenerates, is truly a treasure. After watching you will wish that this movie had modern-contemporaries (sounds like an oxymoron but you know exactly what I mean).

As unbelievable as a sequence of events can get, it is still heart warming and fun without pandering to the audience. One of my favorites of the 80s, really

this movie is a throwback to another era. Time travel that is filled with laughter and innocence in today's standard is boring and dull. no matter. I will always love it. tickle tickle 🤗
