If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

The Babysitter stars Alicia Silverstone as Jennifer, object of lust for her ineffectual bookworm boyfriend Jack (Jeremy London), colossal teenage jerk Mark (Nicky Katt), married man Harry Tucker (J.T. Walsh), and even Harry's randy pre-teen son Jimmy (Ryan Slater). As Jennifer innocently goes about her duties as a babysitter, the males fantasise about the young woman and desire eventually turns to obsession with fatal consequences.There was a time when teenage temptress Silverstone was shaping up to be a major player in Hollywood, her role in hit teen comedy Clueless seriously boosting her bankability as an actress. But then she appeared in the abysmal Batman and Robin (as Batgirl) and pointless drivel like The Babysitter, an erotic thriller that is neither thrilling nor erotic (largely thanks to a no nudity clause in Silverstone's contract). Her star rapidly faded.To be fair, Silverstone is perfectly adequate in her role, but the film's script goes nowhere slowly, its study of the male libido being neither enlightening (everybody knows how horny we men can be) nor all that interesting. Unappealing characters (Jennifer aside) also serve to make this film hard to endure, with wet-blanket Jack making unlikely boyfriend material for a hottie like Jennifer, Mark being a total tool, and Harry a slimy perv. Director Guy Ferland ends the film with a downer of a finale that sees one family losing a son, and another losing a father, making this not just boring but rather depressing too.

This is a truly bizarre but awesome thriller, that's quite fascinating to watch, with a unique story and fantastic performances!. All the characters are great, and it has some bizarre imaginary scenes as well, plus Alicia Silverstone is simply amazing in this!. The finale is very suspenseful and shocking, and all the characters fantasies were really quite twisted and sickening but still fascinating all the same, plus for a direct to video film this is top notch!. Nicky Katt is excellent as the asshole trouble maker as he sickened me with his actions, and some scenes really disturbed me (like the kid walking in the bathroom door to see Alicia naked in the tub, and she let him do it), and this is pretty well made and written as well, plus this should be much higher then 4.0 in my opinion. Jeremy London is also great as the lead, and I am glad I taped this on the scream channel as well, plus it Doesen't have your usual forgiveness type ending. This film will not be for everyone, and I liked the atmosphere it had in it too, plus J.T Walsh was also awesome in this. This is a truly bizarre but awesome thriller, that's quite fascinating to watch, with a unique story and fantastic performances, and I say it's a must see!. The Direction is awesome!. Guy Ferland does an awesome! job here with excellent camera work, adding some good atmosphere, and keeping the film at an engrossing pace. The Acting is excellent. Alicia Silverstone is amazing as always and is amazing here,she is incredibly gorgeous, vulnerable, extremely sexy, seductive, and also very mysterious, her character was a really good one as this is one of the most interesting roles she has played! (Silverstone Rules!!!!!!!). Jeremy London is awesome as the guy who is attracted to Alicia he was very likable, even if he did go to far at times. Nicky Katt is awesome as the asshole, he really sickened me with his actions, as I was glad he got what was coming to him at the end. J.T. Walsh is really good here, he had a bizarre but great role, his fantasies were very disturbing. Lee Garlington is decent as the wife. George Segal is rather wasted as a parent. Rest of the cast are fine. Overall a must see!. **** out of 5

saw this movie when i was in grade school on the action channel.sliverstone did show her breasts in this movie, the reason it was cut is because there is nothing there to write home about.otherwise the movie was interesting, had a kick ass soundtrack. 'the lie still in the garden' song rocked. jeremy London and the other dude were hott. i just felt bad that the father was arrested at the end. i felt that mark had it coming. the only twisted part was when the little boy was asked by alica to wash her back. but a fanasty, not reality. her character was stupid and so was jeremy's. it was weird seeing the guy that played mark as a tough guy.
