Rating: 3/5 -- Seemed fun at the time, in '87, but dates badly. Still, kids might like it.

Rating: B+ -- The light tone, classical style, and Shue as Sandra Dee stand-in are more indicative of a cinematic mindset from approximately 25 years earlier. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- By the end of the film, I'd had a couple of real laughs and a few interesting moments, but that was about all. Full Review

Rating: 7/10 -- Like "Home Alone," "Adventures in Babysitting" is a lightweight comic adventure, but it's effective in what it sets out to do . . . and that's entertain. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- Easy-to-take effort that primarily benefits from a charming performance by Elisabeth Shue. Full Review

The direction is fast-paced, the characters are vulnerable and sympathetic and even the bad guys have their moments. Full Review

Adventures In Babysitting
Chris Parker (Elisabeth Shue, THE KARATE KID, CALL TO GLORY) agrees to babysit 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!
