Babysitters ... club
2 April 2022
I reckon movies like this (not these - a typo or small mistake in the movie, never mind) one right here, are responsible for wives being wary of Babysitters ... especially if they are young and pretty. On the other hand, the movie only exists because there is a fantasy about that.

The depiction of how it all starts is also well done. John Leguizamo is a really good actor too. And the female counterpart is great also (forgot her name - but she certainly was an adult at the time of shooting - they wouldn't allow it any other way in America). So while there is a sort of warning that there is lots of nudity and sexual situations, it didn't really feel that way.

Then again times have moved and some are more sensible than others. There is definitely a very long frontal nudity shot of our main female character - in case you care one way or the other. But and that is the point I am trying to make, the movie works anyway and with little titilation. It is because of the struggle of the main character to maintain control, not just over her own life, but those she affected ... of course you need two to tango ... and even more to open a dance club ... well if that dance club was euphimism for having sex that is.

While the ending has quite a strong impact (at least initially), the movie may not be as touching as it thinks it is - no pun intended. Still more than decent to say the least.
