*sigh*
Okay, I have to take a deep breath. Give me a minute…
Serenity now!
Okay. So, Disney are making a straight-to-cable sequel to one of my most beloved movies of all-time: Adventures In Babysitting. I reviewed Adventures In Babysitting (also known in some countries as A Night On The Town) HERE as part of my CPD Classics series where I used to review my very favorite films. My sad 80’s dorkiness is on full display in that review (and my obvious girl crush on Elisabeth Shue at the time). I don’t care – I’m not ashamed. It’s a great movie and really deserved way more recognition than it got.
I read about the sequel in this article here: moviefone. It’ll be called Further Adventures In Babysitting and will star Disney Channel actresses Sabrina Carpenter & Sofia Carson (before they move on to twerking and Spring Breakers 2 if previous Disney Channel stars are anything to go by). 😉 Speaking of that, the article mentions that Miley *barf* Cyrus (I just threw up in my mouth) was once attached to the project so thank god for small favors, I guess – that may have pushed me over the edge. I’m trying not to lose my head!
No. Just…. No. This will be SO bad. It’ll be so tame and “Disneyfied”. Adventures In Babysitting was sort of a “family film” but it was aimed more at teens & pre-teens with some slightly saucy scenes & naughty language. It had some balls and was actually funny.
*sigh*
Well, if anything, it gives me a chance to mention the original again to anyone who’s never seen it. I highly recommend Adventures In Babysitting, especially to anyone who is fond of the 80s. 🙂
I both of fond of the 80s & Frank Costanza relaxation quotes!
Everyone should be fond of both! 😉
I’ve actually seen the movie… hightly recommended by my mother.
Hahaha! Yes. I am old. 😉
Ooooops ! * facepalm * I didn’t think of it that way. Aaargh ! .
Lol! That’s okay! I thought it was funny… 😉
Haha burn!!!
Haha! Dammit! You WOULD be the one to see that comment!!! 😉
The phrase “totally unnecessary” comes to mind.
Some other phrases came to my mind as well… 😉 Have you seen the original? I wouldn’t know yet if you have in the last month! Last I checked, it’s on UK Netflix.
I have just added it to my list!!
Yay!!!! 🙂
I also highly recommend seeing the original and staying far away from the sequel.
If it is missing Shue, it isn’t worth it.
WHY, oh why do studios insist on trying to recapture magic from older movies. TRY TO THINK OF ORIGINAL IDEAS. If we wanted to see AIB, we would watch the original
I don’t think I’d WANT her in it…
Admittedly, I’ve never actually seen Adventures in Babysitting…HOWEVER, I totally get your frustration. Ugh. Sometimes, Hollywood must be stopped. Same for the Disney channel. Those original movies have gotten out of control…
I’d recommend this but you have to watch Stand By Me first. Above all the other 100 movies I’ve told you to watch, Stand By Me is first. Lol. 😉
It’s a resolution!!! Whether I get to it this years remains to be seen…
This must not be allowed to be a thing…ugh…
Never seen Adventures in Babysitting, to be honest, but this probably really doesn’t need to happen.

Damn Hollywood! I have such a love/hate relationship with Hollywood. 😉
