Adventures in Babysitting Thread

Summary

Teenager Chris Parker (Elisabeth Shue) would rather party with her boyfriend, but when her beau breaks their date she reluctantly accepts a babysitting job. It isn't all TV and icebox-raiding when Chris' best friend Brenda (Penelope Ann Miller) calls her to announce that she's stranded at the bus station. With her youthful charges in tow (one of whom, 15-year-old Brad (Keith Coogan), has a hopeless crush on the babysitter), Chris heads into downtown Chicago to go to Brenda's rescue. Thus begins a roller coaster ride of comic mishaps, unexpected perils and hairbreadth escapes. IN one bit, blues singer Albert Collins refuses to allow Chris and company to leave the nightclub they've wandered into until they agree to sing along with a song borrowed from, of all things the 1939 B-picture Nancy Drew, Reporter! . Screenwriter and Steven Spielberg protégé Chris Columbus made his directorial debut with Adventures in Babysitting.

Favorite character in the movie?

**Melis** · 07-06-2019, 11:07 AM

Chris. I thought she was cool. I also liked Darryl because he was funny.

SailorKrypton · 07-06-2019, 12:12 PM

I liked Chris too. Sarah as well.

**Melis** · 07-07-2019, 10:26 AM

Sarah was a funny one with her Thor obsession.

I found this pilot on YT but the quality was so bad I could barely watch it.

**Melis** · 07-09-2019, 09:35 AM

I'm sure it wasn't great either.

**Melis** · 07-27-2019, 08:36 PM

I never had babysitting adventures.

You mean you didn't get chased by car thieves, sing in a blues bar and try to get your young charge back in from the side of a skyscraper?
