Oh that brings back soms memories. I remember first seeing that movie. I was no more than a toddler, but from our reactions, my father kept the VHS in the shelves for nearly 13 years. It sucks, but I ended up breaking the original copy by accidentally stepping on it :/ "Sigh" what a waste.

Good stuff, love the movie. My favorite part was when the babysitter walked into the kids room(the reason). When I first saw it, I could never figure out the significance of the scene, but then I ended up laughing for years. Oh good good times..oh yeah..the way the oldest son ended up starting the path of a chef..that is what started my love for cooking. I found it fascinating.

Oh I know this movie alright.
One of the old time films I saw as a kid. The babysitter didn't last long, which sorta disappointed me at the time.
But other then that, a nice film.

? What? lol

I expect the title should have suggested the babysitter wasn't going to survive or live for very long. The whole point of the movie is about the kids. It would have been a completely different movie if the babysitter survived or lived a bit longer.

I didn't watch it in the 90's. I was young and I was watching some kid shows. What year was this made 92? If it was I was watching baby shows like Barney then. I first saw this movie on HBO channels and I like it.

The reviews or movie caps say it came out in 1991 it seems.

I was never big on Barney or children's shows when I was young. I was watching HBO then myself and checking out more of the mature type movies.

I thought this was a good movie then, even though many of the scenes where everything isn't spelled out word for word was incomprehensible. I still enjoyed the kid falling and such, the buying of toys, and the world of money. Mmmm, makes my mouth water thinking about how much money mattered to me as a child.

I meant, as a kid I thought the babysitter was the main highlight and I didn't really paid much attention to the film's title.

I saw some bad movies too.(my parents watched them) But I probably didn't know what was going on. But I was mostly into kid shows. I think it was made in 1992 I think it said that on the info page. I have digital cable so it tells you who plays in the movie and what it's about. What year it was made it's better than cable,but just as bad sometimes nothing good comes on.
