The Babysitter reminds me of one time when my daughter was 15, we were walking out to the car in a parking lot, and a young man probably 20 y/o or so drove by, swiveling his head as he passed. I pointed out that he had been looking, and my daughter said "Ewww! He's old!" Teenage girls think their attractiveness is like a bullet, only affecting their intended target, when in fact it's more like a hand grenade, and goes off in all directions.The movie is different from Robert Coover's short story (Google "Robert Coover the babysitter", there's a PDF titled 184 ° Robert Coover), which was mainly a vehicle for an idea about how a story could take different plot lines as characters choose different pathways. It's not really better or worse, because it's apples and oranges.The Babysitter is about The Male Gaze. It's about how males of all ages react to a pretty, nubile young woman who's just trying to babysit some kids, and not completely aware of her affect on males, therefore mostly indifferent to it.Fantasies for each male, from age 10 to age 60, play out during the film, making it difficult to keep track of what's going on in reality. The screen play seems voyeuristic, as if to try to pull you into fantasizing about Silverstone yourself (if you're a male), but time and again her character shuts it down, and reveals just a regular, no-nonsense, non-sexualized person going about her business.In the end the fantasies of three of the characters become reality, and play out as they would in real life instead of a male fantasy land, so things get messy quickly as the three disrupt their own lives within moments. Two males, the youngest and the oldest, escape perplexed but unscathed.The end of the movie is a disaster scene, apparently with a single cause, but in reality the confluence of bad decisions by three men. The last line is like a punch line that sums up the entire proceedings of the evening.

Harry & Dolly, a married couple with their three children have a nanny Jennifer. One evening when the two go to a party, she comes at their home for what will be again a ordinary day of work. Her boyfriend, Jack meets Mark, a lover that Jennifer had a relationship before. They have fun that night until he tells to give his girlfriend's a call to ask her if he can go at her workplace. How things are not going well between them, she refused saying it needs more time to figure out their relationship and where it goes, anyway she can't let him come because she must take care of children. Mark not satisfied with this answer and convinces him to go there and let him still inside. But this time Jack it's not lucky, it is rejected and Mark offered him to spy her so they can see what she does until he comes to the idea wondered if she forget the door open when it was closed in the nose. The strange thing is that in reality the door is open so that the two can easily enter the house. Meanwhile, the owners are busy getting drunk at the party and Harry thinks at the nanny has his fantasies with her and looking for any excuse to go home. Find one saying that his head hurts because of so much alcohol and have to return home in order to take a pill. Meanwhile between good guy and bad guy altercation occurs which Mark wins for a moment. Drunk husband manages to reach home with the car, hit Mark, the police arrives, nanny got into the car and the question is what were you thinking? That is, what we thought when we decided to watch this movie?Of course the best are those few smiles in this movie during the dreams. But even so to see one at every 10 minutes is not quite right.Can not say anything about this film than continue to dream and change it.

I rented this direct-to-video movie because there's Alicia Silverstone in it, and honestly I really don't understand at all the choice of making bizarre things such as this or her movie "True Crime" for example... Who would want to see that anyway, these are the kind of things I wouldn't be surprised to see if coming from writer/director Roger Vadim and actress Brigitte Bardot during the 60s before he made quality things, but not from the actress who made "Clueless" in the 90s... The tone of this one is really more inspired than Roger Vadim's movies of the 60s, it's an imitation who's more artistic and less serious, but still... In any case anybody who like rough sex or seeing a babysitter named Jennifer (played by Alicia Silverstone) in a bath full of white bubbles should watch this, otherwise it should be skipped at all cost; there's no story and no acting at all except for Alicia Silverstone...

The Babysitter stars the brilliant Alicia Silverstone who plays Jennifer, obviously the babysitter, who has the affections of the father of the children she's looking after and two guys she knows. Alicia Silverstone is one of the best actress' out there and she plays and suits the role very well. This is a strange movie, but still really good and if you like babysitter thriller movies or if you're just a fan Alicia Silverstone, then I'm sure you'll enjoy this movie.
