Well not really, at least not explicitly shown on screen. But yeah there is a lot of suggested and off screen affairs going on. Because this was made for TV (and not HBO TV with all the freedoms), you won't see too much, but then again that's not why the movie does not deliver on all ends and promises.It's more because the story does not have that much to give. Yeah so the main actress has some money issues, but who doesn't? And then we have the whole affair with ethics and what you are allowed to do and where you cross the line. It doesn't seem to affect people that much, until almost the very end. Very predictable, very tame and very boring overall. Pretty people though

Not too bad for an 'awareness' film. It definitely depicts the good and bad that can happen in these particular circumstances, BUT...So much time seemed to be spent on setting the scene (i.e. making sure the audience knows how stunning the cast is - which they totally are!) and I felt more time could have been spent on the film's pinnacle moments. It would've had a much more lasting impact.Towards the end it felt rushed - like I had to put pieces together to figure out what was going on, and it didn't seem to be a realistic time line. I've seen a few other movies with the same type of themes - albeit much more raunchy and seductive in comparison to Babysitter's Black Book - and those others I was hooked into watching right to the end, where as this one only made me want to watch it to the end to know how it all miserably played out.It was a really good idea for a film, especially with kids these days growing up way too fast - shows them how even the most glamorous lifestyles and mistakes do come with a price. It highlights the issues with America's Higher Education System and what it causes families and individuals to be pushed to do.Worth the watch, something I would be able to recommend to someone, but it isn't something I'd choose to watch again.

Although they learn their lesson in the end, there is a slightly exploitative quality to this Lifetime movie about high school girls getting paid for sex (instead of babysitting) in order to pay for college. The squealing and parading around is a bit annoying and everyone is a bit too pretty. Feels kind of satisfying when they get busted.Spencer Locke from 'Resident Evil' plays a good girl who can't pay for college after her parents have to use her college fund so a kind father of the kids she is babysitting gives her money for sex. Ryan McPartlin plays against type as the lecherous father. At first it's a bit hard to see him as predatory after his goody role in 'Chuck' but he's alright here.There have been a few of these high school hookers stories done on TV so it's nothing terribly new but okay for some mindless entertainment.

Sexy 17-year-old blonde Spencer Locke (as Ashley) starts "Family Buddies" as a babysitters' club with her hot high school girlfriends. The eager young women need money for college and stuff, so they decide to get even bigger bucks by opening up the business to include prostitution. The fathers include amazingly hunky Ryan McPartlin (as Mark), who doesn't look like he should be paying. He's also a lawyer, although this "Lifetime" TV movie claims to be "Inspired by True Events." Highly arousing Angeline Fioridella Appel (as Rachel Foster) seems smartest, but the cast appears mentally challenged in the art of sexual courtship. That's obviously not the point being made, here, however. Lovingly directed by Lee Friedlander this is unabashed soft core masquerading as social consciousness; as such, you need only know the girls and dads are desirable and attractive.***** Babysitter's Black Book (2/21/15) Lee Friedlander ~ Spencer Locke, Ryan McPartlin, Angeline Appel, Doug Noble
