The Babysitters (2007) 5/10

Starring : Katherine Waterston, John Leguizamo, Cynthia Nixon
Director : David Ross
Running Time : 89 mins

Shirley Lyner (Waterston) is a high school girl who makes extra money by babysitting for parents in the area, but when she falls for single father Michael Beltran (Leguizamo) she decides to make even more extra money by starting up an escort service, using some of her school friends as additional “babysitters”.

This isn’t a particularly pleasant movie to watch, and it really needed a nice injection of humour to make this bearable, so sadly this just made me cringe pretty much from start to finish. The acting was also pretty sub-standard and the plot was obvious, so I don’t think this would appeal to anyone other than those easily pleased with movies that have little or no charm.
