Bad Behavior

I like the theme of this movie. Simple babysitting job goes bad, very, very bad. This family looks normal on the outside, but they were anything but. From the beginning of the movie, you get a sense of something is not right with them. You also get an uneasy feeling about the oldest kid. So knowing that, Zoe (the babysitter)should never invite her boyfriend over while babysitting. Don't they know things always go wrong when you are making out. Even though I was waiting for something to happen, it still got me. I like that. I caught myself yelling at the characters on the screen. There is a lot of suspense throughout the movie. So if you like suspense you will like this movie.

I truly wish I could give this rating less than a full star. I saw the previews and thought it would be a great film. Boy was I wrong. It was actually rather boring, annoying, and poorly written. The actors were horrible. The entire plot of the story was horrible. I am so upset that I watched this movie. It was an hour and a half of my life that I can never get back. I was hoping that at some point, it would get better. The movie made absolutely no sense. Throughout the entire movie, I kept asking myself the obvious questions that any viewer would ask. Just horrible. I would recommend that the writers should have considered making the movie to make sense to the viewer, including the plot, characters, and even the characters behaviors. Do yourself a favor, do not watch this. Thumbs down.

Clearly terrified, a young woman screams...

One day earlier, pretty blonde Hallee Hirsh (as Zoe) arrives to babysit three children...

Make that two children, because we learn college-bound Jeremy Dozier (as Jack) is too old for a babysitter and will likely stay in his room all night...

It should be once child, because second son Austin Rogers (as Tyler) appears too old for a babysitter. Apparently, he's having trouble getting his high school credits together...

You could say no babysitter is needed, because both older sons stay home all night. They should be able to watch cute six-year-old vegetarian Elsie Fisher (as Grace) eat her bologna sandwich and go to bed. She's concerned about the death of little pepperonis, but killing bologna is okay...

You'll never guess how this ends...

Looking vaguely familiar, that's former "Happy Days" and "Married with Children" TV replacement Ted McGinley joining former "Terminator" movie series regular Linda Hamilton to briefly appear as parents...

That this is a thriller called "Bad Behavior" provides clues about what might happen. Things get going when Ms. Hirsh invites boyfriend Andrew James Allen (as Kansas) over for a little sexual activity on the couch. In horror, we know that usually brings the villain out of hiding. The writer/director team Nicholas Brandt and Lisa Hamil do manage to keep this story afloat for about an hour, which is quite an accomplishment. Much of the action is confined to limited sets. This could explain the family keeping an "Etch-A-Sketch" in their unusually spacious bathroom. That's not where I played with mine. While nothing groundbreaking ever happens, and the ending may disappoint, "Bad Behavior" looks like it was fun to make.

**** Bad Behavior (10/22/2013) Brandt-Hamil ~ Hallee Hirsh, Austin Rogers, Elsie Fisher, Jeremy Dozier

It was an okay movie but I found somethings stupid like Grace doesn't eat Pepperoni says its Murdered Meat but she ate a baloney sandwich. Zoe knew Melissa the previous babysitter what happened to her? that Zoe wouldn't know about? Where was Kansas when Zoie was fighting Jack? he was almost untied. In the end was Kansas dead in the bathtub? how did Zoie n Kansas wind up back in the bathroom? why would jack cut off his own ear and let Zoe think it was Kansas? it definitely was a strange movie but I liked both Zoe and Tyler having good come backs to each other. What is weird is that this apparently happened before from someone else baby sitting in the neighborhood so why didn't Zoe know about it; seemed like everyone knew each other, went to school together so how could Jack not like strangers in the house? he went to school with them... oh well just another day in the neighborhood.

If you think this babysitter looks familiar she's been in a lot of stuff. I remember her back from the show ER. She was Dr. Green's (Anthony Edwards) bratty daughter. She is great as Zoe, the babysitter, in this movie. She is in charge of three kids. I was wondering why they needed a babysitter since Jack seems old enough to care for the other kids. But you soon find out that there is something not right with this guy, so no wonder they need a babysitter. Those parents are cruel to leave a babysitter basically alone in the house with Jack, knowing full well what he is capable of. Forget about doing a background check on babysitters. After you watch this movie, babysitters will want to do a background check on the parents and the kids they are supposed to be watching!
