The Babysitters

really more like 4 out of 4 possible stars so I gave a 5 star to boost in overall. Well done as for what they give you, IT needed more of "something" to be a great movie but it could UNLIKELY ever be a great movie simply due to the content and premise etc it really isnt bad. Especially if you do percentage side by side. If the sexually deviant genre (in my mind) cannot ever qualify for 5 stars then overall as a a best out of 4 stars this would be like 3.69 stars out of 4... so goes from a c+/b- (3.4) to a b+/a-... that said you wont be disappointed. For a film dated 10 years ago its got staying power in that its just dark enough, just sexy enough and has that borderline wrongness mixed with compassion and empathy. More a man film; but, may arouse the love or sex addict/avoidance active or dormant in all of us. Makes you think... What if your wife or daughter are keeping big secrets. Also should it stay that way? What if the experiences responsible for those secrets have become one of the most important things that could ever happen to them. Ignorant bliss? or eating from the tree of knowledge? Humanity will always fall from grace no matter how many times god reboots us. Hope this review can add some missing depth. Have to ask though... what would the woman you live with think about you watching this much less giving a positive review. It meant more to me though I guess. I was a bi-product of a similar tragedy. No prostitution ring (that I know of) but my father did marry my far to regular babysitter. No joke there. He was 45 and she was 15 when they first had sex... he was also a high school teacher at Dundulk High near Baltimore MD back in the 80's and Sandy was not the only girl. Sandy was her name his name was Tommy. He Died of Louis Body Disease back in 2010. Surviving him was Sandy and my half (bout 24 by now) sister, Leighann. Whom I have not met but would like to. Many years I had baggage...and likely emotionally enmeshed by my mother as my father did not support her. I did discover Neil Strauss's book: The Truth - An uncomfortable book about relationships and it became 50% of why I have experienced sooo much rebirth lately. Check that book out if you cant keep a relationship or get yourself (or both) together it WILL help if you let it. Back to the movie... although missing some important additional dimension it should not be taken lightly... Wish it would have been a 2 part film or just an extra 45 minutes for supporting role development and even wife and parent drama, conflicts etc, that would have arisen etc but the acting was GREAT... Had a lot of opportunity to lose its sincerity and the director asked himself exactly what would this moment or that situation look like to the audience if they were the ones having similar experiences. Plus if your a prime member its pre paid so try and watch as many prime videos as you can.

Well, first, the storyline doesn't tells you everything.Second, it is the charactors and how the story flows that are really make this movie something not the main idea or tagline.When I saw Katherine Waterston's face, my initial thought about this film was all changed.I thought this will be another stupid sex comedy but when I saw her face, everyting changed.Her face was pure, well educated, pretty girl who will never do anything wrong who will stay in school type.Well that made this movie really interesting.Then there was John Leguizamo.I saw him from movies like <Romeo + Juliet><Carlito's Way>.He usually acted bad guys but in a very charming way. He got all the charisma and in this movie, he is very lovable who happens to fall in love with a teenager Katherine Waterston.After a few times of hesitation, he finally had a sexual relationship with her.The thing is because he felt gulity that he has a family and all, because she is babysitting his son, whenever he has sex with her, he pays the girl just like a hooker.After her first experience with a man officially and beeing paid, Katherine decides to expand the experience to other men to earn money.But since, as I told you, she is totally innocent looking, we cannot hate her at all. She still is an innocent girl.She gathers some of her friends from school to join the force and name them babysitters. They even make businesscards.The business goes well till one by one becomes torned apart thinking they cannot do this anymore. They are school girls after all. They ain't hookers.The thing is Katherine's friends are more look like half baked wicked I hate to say this but ugly girls and the audience will probably won't pitty on them. They will probably will feel protective for Katherine only.When all this thing went bad and Katherine goes back to her early times and becomes a good good student again, we all feel relieved.This movie is a coming of age film after all although it is a little bit extreme.I saw some girls who graduated from the University and happen to sell their own body to earn easy money. Most of them because of lack of family education. When I saw the mother, I can see why the daughter acted that way.But the girl Katherine was an exception. Her parents seemed normal and it was John Leguizamo who was responsible for her behavior.He loved her but then again he corrupeted her by paying her money for continue the relationship and getting rid of her guiltiness.Man are man. They are stupid. What can I say.Anyway, if you see this movie, you will feel how indie movie can be great without a huge budget.Finding good actors, making good story flew well. That's the secret.from [...]

This item was not a great deal. I did not like this order. It didn’t play in American DVD players. Wasted money.

This is a movie that will make most Americans uncomfortable. Teenagers having sex with married men. Teenagers being drugged by married men and also nearly being raped by married men.I liked the premise of this film. At first, it starts as a May-December romance but grows from there to being organized prostitution led by Shirley, played remarkably by Waterston. I won't go into too much detail other than when Shirley babysits for her employer he becomes attracted to her. They begin an affair and from there Shirley enlists other girls into a kind of "Babysitter's Club". This club indulges middle-aged men in sex and older men love the idea of having sex with younger women--sometimes underaged women; yet that is not entirely what this movie is about. It's also about an entrepreneurial woman and how those she enlists into her organization respond to her suzerainty. some agree, others rebel and go out on heir own, thus undermining Shirley in the process. But Shirley will not sit still for this. she and her allies go on a rampage until things get out of control and a girl is almost thrown over a bridge. This culminates in something at shocks Shirley beyond belief--something that changes her perspective on what she's been doing all along. I won't reveal it here. See for yourself.A nice independent film produced by Leguizamo himself. Buy it and you will like it if you like cutting-edged films and are not prudish concerning sexual situations. Four Stars and I'm the 184th person to review this fine film.

I enjoyed watching this movie. It was better than I expected and I am happy I purchased same.

Very good movie

great movie , both me and my husband watched

Un film qui aurait mérité 5 étoiles de ma part si celui-ci m'avait fait plus rire. Je trouve que le scénario est à développer, il y a tellement à faire !

Très bien
