Amazon.com:
Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead aspires to be a cross between Home Alone and Risky Business, with Christina Applegate as an inadvertent scam artist who gets in over her head and somehow pulls it off. When her mother goes to Australia for two months, Sue Ellen (Applegate) thinks she's going to be in charge--until an elderly tyrant of a babysitter arrives. But on the very first night the old lady has a heart attack and keels over. Sue Ellen and her siblings leave the body at a mortuary, only to discover afterward that all the money their mother had left for the summer was in the babysitter's clothes. So Sue Ellen has to get a job. Thanks to a trumped-up resume, she ends up as an executive assistant at a clothing manufacturer. For a while she keeps her head above water by skillfully exploiting a friendly coworker, but her brothers and sisters are running amok at home and a venomous receptionist has it in for her at work. The role-reversal humor of Sue Ellen having to mother her siblings is unsurprising, but Applegate is unexpectedly appealing; her scenes with Josh Charles (Dead Poet's Society, Threesome) have a sweet chemistry. Joanna Cassidy (Blade Runner, The Laughing Policeman) plays Sue Ellen's boss and a young David Duchovny (The X-Files, The Rapture) is a weaselly clerk. --Bret Fetzer

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - dont tell mom the babysitters dead
this is a cute movie that i love and have loved since i was little. everything about it is great and i could watch 100 times



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - 3 & 1/2 stars, but they sound like chipmunks!!
I grew up watching this movie. Rented it. Recorded it off of TV. A decent cliche '90's movie! Fun, original. Wasn't based off a book, old TV show, and wasn't a remake from an old movie. (As that is the trash Hollywood is now feeding us in the 2000's. NO ORIGINAL IDEAS ANYMORE!)

A good movie. So you get used to everything about it seeing it many, many times growing up. So, when I watched this on dvd last night, that I bought from Amazon and gave as a gift for someone, I swear ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Too bad they spoiled it
I wish that they could've made this movie with less strong cuss words. It would otherwise be a good, funny, family movie. However, the stoner kids "f" words are too much. I wish I could show it because the underlying message is good & the kids pull it together in the end. I think that they were going for the teen sales and wanted to make it "cool".



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Don't Tell Mom The Babysitters Dead
This is a movie that came out a few years ago but is still a favorite of mine. It is a family classic and is enjoyable for all ages.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This movie is great!
I first saw this when I was a kid when HBO was playing constantly. I loved it then, and I'm surprised at how much I still enjoy it. Simply told, a poorly treated mother gets to escape for a summer with her boyfriend. She deems her daughter too immature and selfish to run the house, so she hires a baby sitter. Good call, except the old lady dies the first night. The story stays good, and the acting is decent for the kid and adult actors. Give it a try!
