Sorry, this movie sucks

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Admirable film.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The Baby-sitters Club series defined by childhood reading experience. I loved all of the characters and even got into the spin-off specials and series. As a baby-sitter my self and girly girl, these books were my favorite. I found out that there was a 1995 film years later, as a matter of fact right when I had passed my phase of reading the series. I was in a for a wonderful ride.It was an amazing series to see the characters I grew up with come to life in this film. I got to see the traits I loved and hated about them in a movie setting. The movie draws on so many emotions as it makes you laugh, cry, and feel tender. When I return to this movie as a young woman, it makes me feel so nostalgic and get more out of it than as a child. It explores friendship, family conflict, coming of age, and so much more. I recommend it to anyone who has read the books.

The BSC is the best movie ever. How do I know this? I am a student at Seattle University, that's how. This means that I am quite educated in the realm of fine cinematic masterpieces. In addition to this, I am a Creative Writing major, which means I am also quite knowledgeable about fine literature. I am having quite a bit of trouble reaching the minimum 10 line requirement. I am totally using correct grammar though. Sweet. I win. So there's a maximum of 1,000 words, huh? Who really needs to say that much about a movie in the comment section of a web site? Not me, that's for sure. You know, I wonder if they mean 10 lines in this box or where it shows up...sometimes it's different...oh well. I am finished. I would shout "BSC 4 Eva", but I'm not allowed to shout. Sincerely, Lisa & Katiegotshanked

First of all, I'm a huge fan of Babysitters Club books. However at the time I went to go see the movie, I was reading the Little Sister books (the series about Kristy's stepsister Karen). So of course I was terribly disappointed that Karen only had one line in the film. They could of used her more. And they could of showed her friends too maybe. Plus Jessi and Mallory didn't even have a storyline. Also (correct me if I'm wrong) in the book series, didn't Alan Gray have a crush on Kristy? In one of the books, (book 2, i think) they go to the Halloween dance together. Yet in this movie he seems to want Dawn. Plus where's Shannon Kilbourne? (the associate member of the BSC who lives across the street from Kristy) They could of used her. And Bart Taylor? (Kristy's sorta boyfriend) It would of been great to put him in there. And Kristy has two other brothers!!!! It's like they don't exist. And Claudia's the one who bonds with Rosie Wilder, NOT Stacey. Charlotte is Stacey's favorite baby sitting charge. That is mentioned in like every single book of the whole series!!!! Plus if it's summer, then that means the Pikes go to Sea City, not to camp. They could of done a movie about that.Also at the beginning of the movie, Kristy rides her bike to the meeting. This is wrong because the Brewers live across town for the Kishis and it has been implied several times that Kristy has to get to Claudia's house by car.Other people not shown: Claudia's older sister Janine, Dawn's younger brother Jeff, Jessi's brother and sister (although there is a scene with a little black girl and you can assume that's Jessi's little sister Becca because the Ramseys are the only black family in Stoneybrook), and all of Mallory's siblings.Bottom Line: The producers should of read the books BEFORE they wrote the screenplay.Don't mess with the master!!!!! :)

Ok, so the BSC movie is good - but it was, to me, a bit of a letdown. Now, it's possible that I don't remember the books as well as I would like to think I do. Five years since reading a BSC book can make a difference. The plot I had no complaints with; I remember there being a BSC book or two with similar storylines. It's the character development I didn't like. Some of the behavior, mostly Kristy's, seemed slightly off. On the other hand, I like the actors/actresses picked for the roles. I also missed some faves from the books (I always enjoyed Kristy's older brothers, whenever they showed up, and some of my favorite charges were missing.) but i know that not every character could be cast - finding ways to involve each one would result in an insanely long movie. Overall, it's cute. But I'll take the books any day.
