Screenwriter Chris Columbus makes his directorial debut and Elizabeth Shue has her first major role with this slightly risque teen comedy rather like a cross between Ferris Bueller and Risky Business in which the stood-up Shue accepts a babysitting job, takes her young charges along with her into the city to help a friend with a problem, and one-flat tire later, lands herself and the kids in a progressively madder sequence of escapades and perils.
Adventures In Babysitting Review
High School senior agrees to babysit for a teeage girl and her younger brother after he boyfriend stands her up. She's settled in for a dull night when a girlfriend calls her to say she's marooned at a downtown bus station with very seedy characters around. The three plus one of the boy's friends get into the parents station wagon for a trip to the inner city. All is well till the flat tire.
