The Crazysitter (1994)
When a petty criminal escapes from jail, she lays low by posing as a babysitter for two semmingly precious children. But when she decides to sell them for a quick profit, she gets more than she bargained for. A wildy clever family comedy in the tradition of "Home Alone" and "Mrs. Doubtfire".

Load of rubbish!!
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
I bought this movie online because it was written and directed by Michael McDonald of "Mad TV" fame. It also has Ed Begley Jr. and Phil Hartman. The DVD case makes a big deal about being "family entertainment", but this movie is certainly questionable as a kid's movie. As a comedy there are lots of amusing things going on with a great supporting cast trying to move things forward. Sadly like most mainstream comedies, the story starts to run out of comedic bits to put it in the "must see" category. It is a great addition to any collector's library as a curiosity piece, but ultimately not a great choice if you are looking for a great comedy rental
I love this movie . The Whites were hilarious . The "Special Way" (the Indian guy) man was amazing , so amazing in fact , that my friend and I created a song just for him . (: He touched my life , and i'm forever thankful to the person who created this amazing movie . The humor is just like mine , and it's very silly for a movie made in the 90's . I would totally buy this movie and watch it again and again and again n. It's a real family movie . You and your family/friends would enjoy it very much . It's given me so many laughs ! We love you Special Way Man. This movie will touch your life, and make you think twice about touching your wife ! :D Over all , great movie .
This could have been a really good movie if someone would just have known how to finish the film.The story was going along just fine and heading towards that point in every movie like this where the "gray" characters turn "good" and the "bad" guys get their just desserts and *boom* ... it's like they ran out of script and the cast just started to make things up.Which wouldn't have been so bad ... if the cast had just continued with the character development they had already put in place. But such is not the case and the movie soon becomes a goofy mess.My advice is to watch this movie up to about the last 30 minutes ... and then shut it off. At this point, imagine how you think the next 30 minutes will look based on what you have seen so far.Believe me, the ending you come up with will look far better than how this film actually ends. Trust me on this.
Look, this film is terrible... the "plot" involves twins who are neglected by their self-absorbed parents, and left in the care of a succession of nannies and babysitters, all of whom the children drive away by being completely obnoxious. Eventually the kids engineer ex-convict Beverly D'Angelo to be their new nanny, do you care why? And D'Angelo watches a TV talk show about selling children and decides she will try to sell the twins... and, well, oh, you don't want to know. It's all very unpleasant, and not at all funny. In fact the announcer slated this film before it came on the TV channel I was watching! Just don't bother wasting a single moment of your life on this pile of complete trash, y'hear?
