Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead

This is literally the most painful thing i had to sit through, which im only sitting through to see the OG's appearances. The references and how things worked out DO NOT FIT IN WITH THIS MOVIE'S REALITY! How are they going to explain the CREDIT CARD STATMENT??? The original movie DEALT IN CASH, you could make up the receipts as we saw them doing in 1991.

A behavioral retreat? Leaving five children under the age of 17 BACK IN THE STATES? No. Even with a babysitter what the heck??? No, just no. None of this makes sense. The only thing enjoyable is the house. Too short for crap too short for crap...

Came across this movie on a list of remakes in 2024. I didn't make it half way through the movie. Just so bad.

Read a summary of the end and I was glad I skipped it.

The remake wasn't needed at all. It falls in line with a long list of updated remakes that just fall flat.

Nothing of substance was added by remaking a cult classic.

The problems and issues from the original don't translate well in an updated movie.

Acting wasn't great. The movie felt like a launching pad kinda a movie that had too many failures to launch.

Having Danelle Harris make a cameo was a nice call back to the original.

I suggest the kids in Hollywood get off TikTok and start reading some books because there is ZERO creativity these days.

This is yet another remake of a classic comedy that they ruined with complete incompetence.

It doesn't have any of the sharp humor of the original and they rely on shaded racism for some (non)-laughs.

Hard to believe but the story line is about 5 times more boring than the original. And whomever directed this really needs to get an Uber job because it sucks.

And that brings us to the "acting." There is none. These are basically waiters and waitresses who somehow got a leg up and were put into this fiasco.

It's not worth your time. And shame on them for making it.

I agree with everyone who says to stay away from this HORRENDOUS, ATROCIOUS AND RIDICULOUS movie!!!! I really tried to watch as much of it as I could but I couldn't watch anymore after the scene when the oldest girl is getting ready to go for a better paying job. The music is ridiculously terrible to the point where I had to press the mute button!!! I just couldn't take it anymore!!! The original *Don't Tell Mom thr babysitters dead* is wayyyyyyy better than this crap they threw together!!! The characters and their acting were awful too especially the boy with the gold in his mouth!!! I understand that they had to make changes to be more up to date but this movie was horrible!!! I didn't need to watch the whole movie to know that it wasn't a good movie!!! AVOID AT ALL COST!!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!!!!

A few fun nods to the OG but fell short. Super rushed and lacked the bite and reality of the original. The simple fact is, the original wouldn't fly on a logical stance these days. No one questioned it in the early 90s. The original had realistic kids and characters for that time, even Kenny's evolution couldn't be mimicked. My kids and I watched it and I immediately made them watch the original because it had a magic the remake couldn't capture. I'm all for taking nostalgia and trying to reinvent it but this fell flat. I hope no one tries a camp nowhere remake because I'd imagine it'd be as lame as this.
