Hey, it's just as great now as it was then..........2007-05-14

I bought this movie for a blast from my past...and I wasn't let down! Although the acting, at times, is horrible, the girls are all adorable, and it took me right back to sixth grade again. I don't really like the girl that plays Kristy, but I do love the Stacey character, along with Larissa Olyneck's (sp?) character.

Unless you loved this movie as a child, or your daughter is a fan of the book series, I wouldn't recommend this movie. But if you do have a daughter, and you're looking for a good movie that is still appropriate for her, I would definitely recommend it! The plot deals with lots of issues of teen girls, and no matter who you are, you can relate to one of the girls.

I still enjoy watching the movie after all these years, and hopefully one day I can pass on the books and this movie to my daughter!

The Storyline

The Baby-Sitters Club is a delightful film based on the best-selling book series by Ann M. Martin. The movie features the 7 members of the Baby-Sitters Club: Kristy, Claudia, Mary-Anne, Stacey, Dawn, Mallory, and Jessi. They decide to start a summer camp for the kids in their town with hopes that it will be a success. However, things get in the way when Kristy's (played by Schulyer Fisk, who is Sissy Spacek's daughter) father comes back into her life. Everyone around her, including her fellow members, become suspicious.

The Highs

Schuyler Fisk is wonderful as the BSC tomboyish leader Kristy and the rest of the cast is splendid too! Rachel Leigh Cook (She's All That) is a perfect Mary-Anne as well as Larisa Oleynik's (The Secret World of Alex Mack) performance as the environment and vegetarian obsessed Dawn.

The Lows

Fans may not enjoy the storyline, since most of the book series revolves around the school life of the girls other than summer. I personally would rather see them in a school setting, trying to survive the world of babysitting and 8th grade.

Did You Know?

Actress Marla Sokoloff (Full House fans remember her as Stephanie's friend Gia) plays the bad girl Cokie.
Director Melanie Mayron makes a cameo appearance.

ahhhhhhhh..... the 90's.......2006-11-04

okay so I grew up in the late 80's and early 90's, alright I'm still growing up, but seriously I have almost the whole collection of this Baby Sitter Club books and used to have the game somewhere. I can't tell you how excited I was when the movie came out. It was the perfect time and the perfect people to play the characters. If you loved the books or didn't even read them you'll still enjoy the movie, because it shows how to have friendships that last a lifetime!

there was a tv series.......2006-08-09

There used to be a tv show of the Baby-sitter's club and I loved it. It used to air on the Disney channel. When disney wasn't pathetic as a ballon back then. But the film was great... I remember the times when i used to read the books. Their classic books for kids. But the movie is awesome. The girls played to their characters wonderfully. In the movie Christy was my favorite, the girl who played her, anyway. I like the scene when Christy went to the fair and her dad didn't show up. To me that was mean. Then she was walking in the rain. The rest of BSC showed up. It all became a happy ending, which was good. I can't wait to get it on dvd.

Watching this movie brought back a lot of memories!.......2005-12-14

I was a huge fan of the Baby-Sitters Club book series when I was younger, but I'd never seen the BSC movie before...UNTIL TODAY! Comcast was featuring the movie on On Demand, and I watched the entire thing. I absolutely loved it! Yes, there are some things that are different from the book, but overall I think the film did a great job of maintaining the integrity of the series. The casting was perfect: the seven BSC members were all great and remained very true to their characters. The story was good and I think this is a movie that parents will enjoy watching with their kids. I'm sure that kids will enjoy this movie even if they haven't read the BSC books, and maybe the film will even inspire them to seek out the books on their own. (As good as this movie is, nothing beats Ann M. Martin's paperback classics!) Perhaps the people who will enjoy this film most of all are people like me: women in their late 20s who grew up reading the BSC books. It was delightful to sit back, watch this movie, and rehash all those great memories.

Long live the BSC!
