It's not the raucous fun of the original, but the message more closely reflects the morals of Disney... But it's not quite "Disney-ified," either. Marriage isn't the end goal, nor is romance, really.

Rated: B-

We give this movie 5 smiles because it is really funny and takes you on one wild adventure after another.

A part of me loves Adventures in Babysitting because it celebrates young women being supportive of each other, and the idea that friendship can blossom between polar opposites.

Nowhere near as good as Chris Columbus' original, but it has its definite charms...

To my surprise, this Disney Channel Original Movie did not take on the same cookie cutter format of almost every single DCOM so far: cheesy, wholesome fun.

The sanitization of the original screenplay is disappointing, especially when Disney Channel elements, such as broad performances, flare up.

Rated: C

A decent remake of Chris Columbus's original (He directed Home Alone 1 & 2, and the first two Harry Potter movies, Gremlins, The Goonies and Mrs. Doubtfire among many other films, so he is a giant in popular culture), with significant Disneyfication. The bad guys give off too much Home Alone knock off vibes, though, so perhaps this movie was intended as a kind of homage to Columbus. Sabrina Carpenter's acting is closer to the kids than to Sofia Carter. It is interesting to see how actors develop over their different films and TV series.

I grew up in the 80s and there is much I miss and love about 80s movies—but much that is also super cringey and didn't age well at all. This is one of those movies. Every POC character is a criminal. There are jokes about rape. The word "h**o" *RT won't let me type this word even tho I'm quoting the movie- ya for censorship) is used multiple times—and not in a good way. The city is a place of crime and filth, while the white suburbs are slightly boring, but safe and wonderful.

Gostei, as adaptação e alterações foram pertinentes e o tornaram mais moderno, mantendo a essência, o carisma, recheado de aventura e diversão, mantiveram as principais cenas, ficando ainda mais gostoso de assistir, apesar da implicância com remakes com liberdade poética, aqui encaixou perfeitamente todas as alterações promovidas, bem gostoso, as duas babás são lindas e fofas…
