Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Baby sister is a awesome 80s teen film that was aired by ABC back in 1983 and it has it all good scenery good romance a good story and also phoebe cates and you can't go wrong with her so basically this is a love triangle that accidentally forms and makes a lot of interesting situations and also the pace is pretty fast after the opening credits and keeps you on the edge of your seat.... and over all I recommend this scene BUT there isn't a proper physical or digital release of this movie and a lot of people don't know about it and they could really enjoy it but anyway I say watch it and also thank you for listening to my opinion......

***SPOILERS**** Movie about two sisters Annie & Marsha Burroughs, Phoebe Cates & Pamela Bellwood,in love with the same man struggling doctor David Mitchell, Ted Wess, that leads to fireworks by the time the movie ends. It was kid sister Annie just dropped out of collage who ends up in L.A at her older sister Marsha's pad that starts the ball rolling. That's with her getting a job as a receptionist at Marsha's boyfriend Dr. David Mitchell's clinic in South L.A. It took the tragedy of one of David's young patients to overdose on drugs that brought the two together when after coming on the scene they couldn't save his life.Meanwhile Marsha has been up to her neck on her long awaited art gallery opening that she loses interest in David and that has him in return lose interest in her and that's where Annie comes in. At first just flirting with each other it, the affair, soon becomes serious with the two jumping in bed together with Marcha left out in the cold. It's later when one of David's junkie patients Fancher, Thomas F. Duffy, broke into his office, while he was talking things over with Annie, looking for his sh*t-drugs-that David really got so worked over by the crazed junkie that he ended up in the hospital with a brain concussion.***SPOILERS*** Skiping her art gallery opening and rushing to David's aid Marsha learned that his "girlfriend" is also there looking after him. It's when Marsha learned that David's "girlfriend" happened to be her kid sister Annie that she completely flips. Not realizing that his "girlfriend" had earlier broke off her relationship with him and was to go back east to continue her collage education! Heart warming final with both Annie & Marsha coming to terms as well as their pop Mr. Tom Burroughs, Efrem Zimbalist-Mister Z-Jr, making up with Annie in not blaming her for her mom's as well as his wife's tragic death in a traffic accident! Something that Annie,if she didn't have enough problems already, held herself responsible for all these years since she was a little girl.

As a TV movie, Baby Sister is just slightly above your run-of-the-mill. Simple plot, but interesting and entertaining nonetheless. The acting is competent, not cheesy as you come to expect from 70s-80s TV fare. And good dramatic snippets throughout, it never felt boring.But who's kidding who, the reason to watch old productions with Phoebe Cates in them is to... well, see Phoebe Cates do her thing. And she never looked better. Tall and slim and 19, with her engagingly expressive face. If you loved her before, you'll love her twice as much after watching this.Ridgemont was great and Gremlins was charming, but this is the one the Phoebe fan will keep at the center of their collection.

SPOILERS: This movie is a dream for any Phoebe Cates fan out there. It's a pretty obscure movie that I had the privilege of viewing on TV. Phoebe plays Annie the baby sister(hence the title) of Marcia played by Pamela Bellwood.This movie could have been called "tale of two battling sisters" because that's what it is. Oh there's other things going on and some surprisingly serious moments for such an 80's glitsfest but despite it all, this really is a showcase for the beauty of Phoebe Cates who plays the wild baby sister who winds up ruining Annie's life.Two things about this movie-it's not as bad as it sounds and also what's funny is Bellwood is completely miscast, she's supposed to be the older serious sister, overshadowed by the sexpot Phoebe but Bellwood, is as beautiful as Cates and so it's a bit tough to buy. I happen to like both actresses and this is a decent movie of the week fare so if one's preference runs to 80's TV movies, battling sisters and a man stealing Phoebe Cates, this is most definitely the movie for you.
