Review of Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead (1991) by Rodney E — 21 Oct 2008
The dishes are done for sure in this turd. While I dug this when I was 10, it holds up like an ice cream cone dripping in the summer heat. This might as well have been a TV movie and feels like one. Christina Applegate proves that she isn't Kelly Bundy but who cares? Features Josh Charles as one of the biggest lameasses in move history.
How about that scene at the restaurant where he plays that music on the radio? Good god. Keith Coogan and Applegate make this watchable but the Coogan character sells out bad in the end and makes you wonder how hardcore he was.
What a weak backyard fashion show too. David Duchovny also shows up in the kind of douche one dimensional role that he plays.
