Kept going cause I thought with all this praise it MUST get better! But I waited in vain.<br /><br />I was surprised by the low rating of Babysitter too but at least it allowed me to include it and shine some light on the movie. I still watch it from time to time and even though I know where its going I always enjoy the journey. I used to work with a girl who loved it and we would go back and forth when something needed to be done in a hurry saying "I'm right on top of that, Rose!"joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-46583743269926165182020-08-23T19:42:59.699-04:002020-08-23T19:42:59.699-04:00Well everybody has different tastes.
Don't T...Well everybody has different tastes. <br /><br />Don't Tell Mom has its silly parts but after about the first half hour it does leave most of the childish humor behind. As I said it's helped a great deal by the two women who head the cast. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-46293411962989365842020-08-23T19:39:32.411-04:002020-08-23T19:39:32.411-04:00Yay!

I hated that film too although unfortunately I did pay to see that in the theatre. Everyone around me was laughing uproariously and I sat there thinking "What a bunch of morons!

I liked the film though I don't think the film is as great as many says it is as it's actually depressing considering that Kristen Wiig's character has lost her business, has a shitty job, sleeps with a guy who is a total douche, and lives with a couple of odd siblings who take advantage of her. <br /><br /><i>Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead</i> is a film I did grow up on as I had a thing for Christina Applegate (what straight dude didn't watch <i>Married... with Children</i> back in the day) as it was a funny film and it was also charming. I liked it. I can't believe it got a low rating as I remember that Roger Ebert had some praise for the film as he liked Applegate.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-12923942938138943802020-08-23T13:43:51.901-04:002020-08-23T13:43:51.901-04:00Ugh Joel...

I hope you still respect me in the morning but...I like Bridesmaids which is very gross but, I have low brow humour and laughed like hell throughout this flick even though i truly wanted someone to slap Kristin Wiig. I have not seen your second film but it sounds like the many comedies that came out at that time that is typical but you still enjoy it. If it comes on TV one day, I will check it outBirgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-44417609735846474512020-08-23T13:32:30.507-04:002020-08-23T13:32:30.507-04:00Raunchy humor by and large is not my deal. Ribald ...Raunchy humor by and large is not my deal. Ribald I'm fine with but once it moves into scatalogical humor I'd rather be anywhere else. If that were all there was too it though I probably would have just hated it and forgotten the movie but all those characters were so stupid and vile it ramped it up a notch for me into full on loathing. <br /><br />I wasn't surprised by the critic's RT score, they are usually a pretty humorless lot, but I would have thought from the people I've spoken to about the film that the audience one would have been at least in the 70's. I've never met a single person who hated the film. Most have really liked it and only a few said it was just okay. <br /><br />Thanks for having me participate! Looks great, love the GIF of Swell saying "Petty Cash?" <br /><br />I'd say it's definitely worth a revisit. A nice relaxing, if at times goofy, watch. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-16893683650092934992020-08-23T13:22:17.089-04:002020-08-23T13:22:17.089-04:00Yay another Bridesmaids hater!!!!

Everyone said it was a women's version of The Hangover, and apparently, I was the only person in the world who thought that was an insult.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-67034323267526590782020-08-23T12:10:19.197-04:002020-08-23T12:10:19.197-04:00I'm one of those who likes Bridesmaids, but no...I'm one of those who likes <i>Bridesmaids,</i> but not for any deep reasons. This particular brand of raunch made me laugh. I totally get that it was too much for you, though. I remember liking <i>Don't Tell Mom</i>, but it's been years since I've seen it. The big surprise is that it's RT score is so low. I've come across so many people who speak fondly of it that I assumed it had a high RT score. Might have to revisit this soon.

I didn't mind the vulgarity, for me none of it was funny and Kristen Wiig is not an interesting lead. I maybe chuckled at a few parts, but that's it. <br /><br />As for Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead, I remember that being on TV ALL the time when I was a kid, but I don't think I watched it all in one sitting. I never remember hating it though. I'm surprised to see it's got such a low grade, I thought it was fairly popular based on how many times it was on TV. lolBrittani Burnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975067259283007280noreply@blogger.com
