thiago s @Thiagostone Apr 18 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, mas o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e mais relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. See more 07/21/2024 It’s really good What’s with all the hate See more Steve D 01/29/2024 The problem with films like this is that it is too hard to find convincing actors the proper age. The script is fine. See more Farah R @Farah 05/02/2023 The Baby Sitter's Club is a sweet movie that primarily young girls can enjoy. It's about more than just trivial subplots about boys; it focuses on family, friendship, and the responsibilities of maintaining both. See more 05/17/2021 This movie wasn't horrible and I guess it would be something that preteens would really enjoy. It is hard not to notice all of the flaws as an adult, though. There were parts of it that genuinely made me laugh, mostly with the little ones at the daycare. The actress who plays the lead girl, Kristie, left quite a bit to be desired as far as her acting skills are concerned. However, she wasn't the only one. Several of the girls had me thinking at certain points that I was watching a highschool play instead of an actual movie. I still found Kristie the most annoying. The parts with her mostly dead beat father did ring true and sparked true emotion and I think that's important especially for younger audiences who are going through the same experiences. All in all it passed the time and wasn't as painful as it probably should have been. See more andy h 07/13/2020 It's no book or tv show, but some tween or 90s nostalgic person will find joy in this movie that primarily focuses on 2 of the awesome, potential filled characters.
