Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead
was a movie that everyone I knew had seen. I must have missed out on this movie
growing up. It seemed so dated and lame when I watched it. It was directed by
Stephen Herek. I
did like the storyline though. I like the idea of the sibling rivalry working
out and all of them becoming a team. It has definitely happened in my life
before. It was relatable which made it more enjoyable. The clothes and values
of the film did affect my viewing. It was a true 90s film. Watching this rowdy family of five children,
left to fend for themselves when their babysitter suddenly dies, was certainly amusing.
The mayhem is unrealistic but that is why it is a movie. The only familiar face
to me was Christina Applegate, who has definitely come a long way in her career
and talent. This comedy was a bit of a stretch for me. I did not laugh much but
that's probably only because the movie is so old now. It certainly is not a timeless
film by any means.
