\"AdventuresInBabysittingDVD\"<\/a>What a difference from 1987 to 2016, isn\u2019t it? In the original \u201cAdventures in Babysitting,\u201d our intrepid heroes led by their babysitter are evading a group of car thieves anxiously trying to get back their notes that they scribbled on a playboy that one of the characters stashed accidentally. Here, the group runs afoul two inept pawn shop clerks that want the camera character Lola has after taking a picture of their illegal exotic animal. Disney\u2019s newest stars Sabrina Carpenter and Sofia Carson are charming in their co-starring roles as high schoolers competing for a photography internship.<\/p>\n

Both girls end up in a variety of misadventures as babysitters caring for a small group of rambunctious kids after a cell phone mix up. Over the course of the night, they cross criminals, mean car towers, and even have to talk their way out of a police station when they\u2019re accused of committing a crime. They now have to get their car back home before midnight hoping to beat the parents of their charges home. While I\u2019d still watch Columbus\u2019 original with my family, Disney takes great lengths to tone down a lot of the menace and hazards from the original. This means no college party, no drunken girl hitting on one of the characters, no gang war in a train, and no one mistaking one of the babysitters for a Playboy centerfold.<\/p>\n

Considering co-star Sabrina Carpenter is barely eighteen, that\u2019d be painfully creepy, so that\u2019s not a huge omission, all things considered. That said, \u201cAdventures in Babysitting\u201d is a solid diversion with some neat adventure and antics, even if it isn\u2019t one of Disney\u2019s best original films. It garners solid performances, kid friendly antics, and includes a lot of its own twists on the original film\u2019s events, including a huge chase through a Laundromat, and an impromptu performance that results in a rap battle. With Disney Channel Original Movies, you have to take the good with the bad, and thankfully this remake offers a lot more good than bad.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s certainly better than \u201cThe Descendents.\u201d<\/p>\n

The DVD only comes with a two minute blooper reel, and a fridge magnet that doubles as a picture frame and a check list for babysitters. Frankly, I\u2019m surprised Disney didn\u2019t make a bigger deal out of their one hundredth television movie for this home release. If you\u2019ve watched the Disney Channel for the last three months, they\u2019ve had behind the scenes segments, interviews with Sabrina Carpenter and Sofia Carson, a music video with the pair, and a \u201cmaking of\u201d with the pair recording the film\u2019s theme song.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
