Great Motivational Movie for kids

This movie is a wonderful motivator for kids. It helps them realize they can work and make money. It has a great morals sprinkled throughout as well and teaches them how to handle life's emotional situations. I would recommend it for kids or preteens.

Far from the book series, but still a treat.

The Storyline

The Baby-Sitters Club is a delightful film based on the best-selling book series by Ann M. Martin. The movie features the 7 members of the Baby-Sitters Club: Kristy, Claudia, Mary-Anne, Stacey, Dawn, Mallory, and Jessi. They decide to start a summer camp for the kids in their town with hopes that it will be a success. However, things get in the way when Kristy's (played by Schulyer Fisk, who is Sissy Spacek's daughter) father comes back into her life. Everyone around her, including her fellow members, become suspicious.

The Highs

Schuyler Fisk is wonderful as the BSC tomboyish leader Kristy and the rest of the cast is splendid too! Rachel Leigh Cook (She's All That) is a perfect Mary-Anne as well as Larisa Oleynik's (The Secret World of Alex Mack) performance as the environment and vegetarian obsessed Dawn.

The Lows

Fans may not enjoy the storyline, since most of the book series revolves around the school life of the girls other than summer. I personally would rather see them in a school setting, trying to survive the world of babysitting and 8th grade.

Did You Know?

Actress Marla Sokoloff (Full House fans remember her as Stephanie's friend Gia) plays the bad girl Cokie.
Director Melanie Mayron makes a cameo appearance.

This movie was actually pretty good

Throughout Elementary school, I've seen various BSC books strewn about in my school Library and classroom bookshelf. As a boy, I've always viewed the books as nothing but just little girls' novels, and so I tended to avoid the books as much as possible lol. I was about 7 years old when this movie came out, and at that time, the commercials were all over the air waves non-stop. Eventually, after seeing the commercials a billion times a week, I for some reason developed a small interest in wanting to watch the film. Some of my friends who saw the movie said they loved it, so I decided to wait until they started showing it on TV, which it has been on many times but I just never got a chance to catch it. So I gave up trying to watch it for about 12 years, and I totally forgot all about the movie. Now I finally got the chance to watch the film on HBO Family yesterday, and I actually liked it! Although I was never a BSC reader, I thought the movie was good. Though I think the movie would've appealed to me more if I was a kid, so I'll always remember the Baby Sitter's Club as "the movie I should have watched when I was a kid."

Childhood Memories

I never saw the film in theaters but I got it as soon as it came out on VHS. My little sister has it now because I guess I outgrew it. Anyway I saw it when it was playing on Dish Network. I watched it everyday when I was 9 but now that Im older it is kind of cheesy but I still enjoy it because it takes me back to those childhood memories. It has some adorable characters but I wish they would have focused more on Jessie and Mallory. I liked the books better but if you enjoyed it as a kid you would enjoy it now. Otherwise I would suggest buying it for your daughter because it is a great kid's film.

Hey, it's just as great now as it was then...

I bought this movie for a blast from my past...and I wasn't let down! Although the acting, at times, is horrible, the girls are all adorable, and it took me right back to sixth grade again. I don't really like the girl that plays Kristy, but I do love the Stacey character, along with Larissa Olyneck's (sp?) character.

Unless you loved this movie as a child, or your daughter is a fan of the book series, I wouldn't recommend this movie. But if you do have a daughter, and you're looking for a good movie that is still appropriate for her, I would definitely recommend it! The plot deals with lots of issues of teen girls, and no matter who you are, you can relate to one of the girls.

I still enjoy watching the movie after all these years, and hopefully one day I can pass on the books and this movie to my daughter!
