Every movie has it's strengths and its weaknesses, whether it be the plot, special effects etc. in this film we have a semi- interesting plot about a young babysitter named Jennifer (played by Alicia Silverstone) she begins her day by going to school and of course end's it by babysitting at night. That is pretty much the initial plot; the rest is bunch of fantasies from different men who want to be with her. As mentioned earlier every movie has its strength and weakens and in this case it's weakness is plot development. The story never really reaches its point it just simply jumps from a scenario in which Jennifer is babysitting and answering calls to ludicrous dream world where her seductive look captivates them. Sure enough the movie does have some good moments such as the baby sitter's boyfriend being convinced by a wrong source that she is cheating on him. This of course leads him to investigate and stock our fellow protagonist "the babysitter". But ultimately the good moments are once again ruined by the painfully boring and simply stupid fantasy scenes. i only recommend it if you're a fan of Alicia Silverstone's work other than that pass it.
MY PERSONAL RATING: 2 OUT OF 5

There's really not much to the plot in this one, but that dosen't really matter cause Alicia's the main attraction. The acting is bland and uninspired, but that's irrelevant, Alicia is the star here. Basically, what i'm saying is - for true fans of Alicia Silverstone, this is a great movie; for the rest of you, don't bother with it.

I have always loved this movie, it has 3 young stars, 2 of which aren't really huge stars, but Nikki Katt was a talent that went long unnoticed. And don't get me wrong, Jeremy london and Alicia the hottie are both VERY good in this movie. Everything about this movie is really good except for the story unfortunately. The story didn't have much substance but didn't need to. It has a simple plot, and let's the actors get into all of these trouble situations that teens get into.
The other side actors are all very good certainly including the father.
But the real reason to watch this movie is Alicia Silverstone's skin. WOW!!!. What a beautiful thing to behold. I know that I could write a VERY long review on how beatiful she is, but for how young she was in this movie, I have a feeling that I would spend an hour writing and then it wouldn't show up , so screw it, you all know what she looks like, SO GIVE ME THE ENTIRE FILM STRIP YOU USED TO MAKE THIS AND I WILL PAY ANYTHING.

Wow, what can I say... I haven't seen anything this stupid and boring in a long time. I don't think I should write my opinion here because I didn't finish wathing the movie. I only watched half of it and then I just wanted to kill myself! What was the point of making this movie? It's category was "suspence" (yes it was, I JUST watched in on TV), even though it should be more something like "stupid teen comedy without a plot". I mean seariously, all the men who saw "the sitter" were driveling after her, having fatasies of her ALL THE TIME. What waste of time! And in real life, what babysitter would take baths in someone else's house when she is there to look after the kids, even when they are in bed?! (I know it doens't happen, I have been a babysitter many times bafore. I have also been an au pair AND a nanny)! And after 20 minutes the 2 guys had been hunging outside the house to spy on "the sitter", I started complaining to my husband how boring and slow this movie is. He said "well don't watch it". And then I didn't.

Watching this movie is similar to reading a term paper with no thesis statement. After the ending, you begin to understand what the writers were (maybe) trying to accomplish, but choppy editing throughout the movie only makes the viewer think that the several fantasy sequences revolving around Silverstone's character are only planted in the film to obscure the writers lack of imagination with regard to character development.
In retrospect, the Babysitter (Silverstone) is supposed to be like Helen of Troy. Men will risk thier families, jobs and freedom to sleep with her. Among the people who want Alicia are her ex (?) boyfriend and a manipulative wanna-be-a-gangster suburban rich boy, who drunkenly conspire a plan to spy on her. The manipulative rich kid dupes the ex into breaking and entering the house where Silverstone is babysitting then tries to rape her. Nuff said about the plot.
Two things make the plot unbelievable. First of all, Silverstone, taken as THE sole motive for a host of fantasies (some related and some utterly unrelated to the ending) and a rape endeavor is not buyable. In reality, Silvertone is no Helen of Troy, but yet another link of good-looking hollywood sausage. More importantly, in the movie, her character is unexciting, bland and (ahem) clueless.
Secondly, the antagonist rich hood's rape endeavor is paradoxical. He has sense enough to manipulate the Babysitter's boyfriend like an expert (a la Cruel Intentions), yet the during the last scene of the movie he smashes lamps on peoples heads and tries to rape Alicia in front of 2 small children. Any criminologist could tell you that most psychotics are usually not silver-tounged manipulators and vice versa.
On a final note, the writers could have used some of the time they spent on the fantasy sequences to develop the characters' backgrounds and motives. At least then the film might not have been such a pile of garbage.
