The Babysitters - 2007

Movie #112

3.5 stars

When honors high school student Shirley (Katherine Waterston) becomes romantically entangled with Michael (John Leguizamo), the married father of one of her baby-sitting clients, she quickly recognizes the affair's potential for turning a profit. The enterprising Shirley soon sets up a teenage prostitution ring made up of school chums who she matches up with Michael's bored married friends, all under the guise of baby-sitting.

Cast: Katherine Waterston, John Leguizamo, Cynthia Nixon, Andy Comeau, Lauren Birkell, Denis O'Hare, Halley Wegryn Gross, Ethan Phillips, Alexandra Daddario, Spencer Treat Clark

Director: David Ross



hmmm....this was pretttty creepy...i mean....old men paying their babysitters for the dirty. I know that its acting but the dads were such pervs, especially John Leguizamo. Nonetheless, Katherine Waterson did a really good job. She looks really young and was actually able to pass for a high school student...unlike allll other movies involving high schoolers.

creepiest line in the movie: Brenda, when you go home I want you to take a picture of yourself, because right now, you're perfection. And I want you to look at that picture every day and never change.

First line of the movie: Shirley Lyner. I'm a junior at Alfred E. Groves high school. This is my babysitting service. The answer is no: mom doesn't drink, dad didn't hit me, Uncle Steve never showed me his privates. I don't even have an Uncle Steve. The money is nice, and paid fellatio isn't that much more humiliating than flipping burgers. But that's not why I do it.

Rated R for disturbing strong sexual content, language and some drug use - involving teens. (no shit Sherlock)

Overall Recommendation: it's worth watching once
