Chris Parker (Elisabeth Shue) 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.

It should be titled "The Big Night OUT!"
If it had been titled "The Big Night Out", people may have thought the movie was about Elisabeth Shue's big date with her "boyfriend". Then people would have thought that night was to be filled with wondrous and fun adventures on the big night out.
However, the title is not the best, but the movie is.

There are a few naughty words in the movie, but they fit the situation.
The movie is cute. There are several scenes that make me chuckle inside.

I recommend this movie to anyone, even hardened old crones. ha

Vincent D'Onofrio of Law and Order:Criminal Intent plays a very significant part.

"It's like a Dairy Queen, you only get one flavor"
This is my all-time favorite 80's comedy. Watching it today, it is no less enjoyable than it was upon initial release. If a film stands the test of time, that is when you know it has become a classic in its own right. The performances by everyone are all around charming and delightful. The writing is clever, witty and fun. Adventures in Babysitting will engross you from the very opening when Elisabeth Shue dances her way thru "Then He Kissed Me," by the Crystals until the closing credits roll by the same number. This is definitely the kind of film to watch if you are feeling down and out. It is guaranteed to put a smile on your face and more! Enjoy it again and again! Also recommended for fans of this film: Teen Witch.

80's Comedy Adventure
This is one of my favourite movies, yet it seemed to get lost back when it was released.

Chris (Elizabeth Shue) is stuck babysitting when her best friend decides to run away from home and then has second thoughts, only she has no money to catch a cab home. Chris with kids in tow are left to rescue her, resulting in fun and adventure.

Directed by Chris Columbus, (need I say more ??) it keeps moving at a great pace. Great for the kids, except for some course language, this should be (just about) enjoyed by everyone.

Go For It !!!
