Product Description
Babysitter Chris (Elisabeth Shue) sets off to rescue her best friend Brenda from a seedy downtown Chicago bus stop, taking the neighbour's kids - the hormonal Brad, Daryl and nine-year-old Sara - along for the ride. Dodging the criminal elements of the inner-city while getting Brenda, the kids and the family Chevy home in one piece soon becomes a challenging objective.

oh Baby ! Adventurous 80's Classic that'd be great Sitting in your collection !?

There was a time when Elisabeth Shue was going to be 'the next big thing' and watching this film you truly believed it too.
The lovely Elisabeth holds the film together with her pure energy and 'like-ability factor'. As seventeen year old babysitter Christine - almost a baby herself - she manages to experience a series of mishaps, scrapes, run-ins and (yes) adventures in the course of one long evening, when she reluctantly agrees to pick up her runaway friend from the downtown bus depot (Brenda - hilarious bit part in this film - who adds some really funny moments whilst stranded at the depot ?! ).
The children who tag along for the ride are lovely out-of-town naive characters who each contribute something to the value of the plot.
This is one of my favourite films - it seems to catch a certain nostalgia about films made in that period - it doesn't take itself too seriously - it cracks on at a decent pace - it's funny, camp and has an innocence that captivates the audience.
A fab little film. Great for entertaining the teens, mums, dads and family of a weekend. Just a shame Elisabeth never did make it into the 'shues' of the likes of Julia Roberts or Nicole Kidman.

My sister nearly disowned me when I bought this; she thinks I'm a right saddo. I love this film. It is has great one-liners, hilarious adventures, a twisting and entertaining storyline and also includes a romantic element. It also has the added bonus of all that fab yet awful 1980's fashion which reminds me of the good old days.
If you like films like 'Home Alone' and 'Mannequin' then you'll probably like this. I love it (but then again, I am a saddo...).

The correct way to sit on a baby
