Chris Parker joins the ranks of Laurie Strode as one of Hollywood's most popular child supervisors. And girls like her come along once in a lifetime. She finds herself babysitting after her boyfriend bails on their anniversary dinner. Chris' good deed of rescuing her flaky friend Brenda from downtown Chicago with kids in tow turns into a high octane evening of thrill rides as they balance on the rafters, play third party to a gang fight and sing the blues. I saw Adventures In Babysitting in the theater about a dozen times. My laughter intensified with each viewing, as well as my crush on Elisabeth Shue. As a kid, I wished I would get a night like Brad, Daryl and Sara experienced. Unfortunately my biggest adventure was trying to wrestle the cable box away from my babysitter to watch NBC's Saturday Night line up. Don't f!ck with the babysitter indeed.
Babysitting Trivia: Halloween (1978) producer Debra Hill also produced this film. When Chris gets the frantic call from Brenda you can see the movie playing in the background.
