July 18, 2011Giiirl, I do not even care how many people know how much I love this movie. Although the so-called "serious" problem Kristy had with her spineless dad was boring, this brings back childhood memories to the max. Sissy Spacek's daughter was surprisingly impressive, Rachel Leigh Coo... read more

May 3, 2010This is exactly what you'd expect it to be, so I wouldn't feel justified in bashing it. It's just a bunch of really good babysitter friends that make a daycare to pool together their strengths. A lot of future female stars were jump-started by this. Somehow I found this just as t... read more

June 9, 2010Of course it's a cheesy kid movie, however, I was obsessed with the book series as a child. I also watched the Disney channel TV series, so when the movie came out I was really excited and watched it all the time. So for me, it's still great!

February 8, 2011Once again, embarrassed to say that I'v seen most of this. Watch it and seriously tell yourself that you were blown away... You might be stricken down with the plague immediately after

December 20, 2010It's hard to put the hard-hitting drama of the Baby Sitters Club series to film, but they did it...they did it to the sunflowery Baby Sitters Club finest.

September 2, 2009OK. So when this movie came out I swear it was great...but now I realize how lame it is and obviously how lame I was. In my defense I was only 12 when this movie came out and the books kicked a**.

June 17, 2008This was cute. Rachel Leigh Cook is so young in it but looks the exact same. The 17 and 13 year old relationship was a little odd though.

February 20, 2008What fun memories. Reading the baby-sitters club books and watching the movies on vhs. How outdated is that?

August 23, 2007I used to love the books, so when the movie came out I was a little excited. It's a little childish now, but at the time these girls were among my best friends.

Mike Clark, USA Today
Were there not 125 million of Ann M. Martin's Club books currently in print, this cinematically destitute movie might have gone directly to video.

Fans and would-be fans of Ann M. Martin's books may be enthralled, but, for the rest of us, The Baby-Sitters Club is something of an endurance contest. Full Review

Though the script is predictable, it's not too clumsy. Full Review

Hollis Chacona, Austin Chronicle
The Baby-Sitters Club has a youthful buoyancy and whimsical rhythm that catches even the most jaundiced (i.e., 16-year-old) viewers up in its play of light and energy. Full Review
