Movie Reviews of Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead

Movie Review: Christina Applegate, you go girl!
Summary: 4 Stars

DON'T TELL MOM THE BABYSITTER IS DEAD was a hilarious movie that I recommend to anyone and was my first time seeing Christina Applegate(Sue-Ellen) playing a role as a bright serious gal as opposed to her role as the floozy & airheaded blonde bombshell(Kelley Bundy) on MARRIED WITH CHILDREN, which reminds me that MARRIED WITH CHILDREN was in its 5th Season on FOX when this movie was released in the Summer of 1991 just before the Bundy's 6th Season was underway.

This movie also co-stars Jayne Brook before her co-starring days as Dr. Diane Grad on CHICAGO HOPE, David Duchovny before his co-starring days on THE X-FILES, and Danielle Harris during her co-starring days on ROSANNE.

Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead aspires to be a cross between Home Alone and Risky Business, with Christina Applegate as an inadvertent scam artist who gets in over her head and somehow pulls it off. When her mother goes to Australia for two months, Sue Ellen (Applegate) thinks she's going to be in charge--until an elderly tyrant of a babysitter arrives. But on the very first night the old lady has a heart attack and keels over. Sue Ellen and her siblings leave the body at a mortuary, only to discover afterward that all the money their mother had left for the summer was in the babysitter's clothes. So Sue Ellen has to get a job. Thanks to a trumped-up resume, she ends up as an executive assistant at a clothing manufacturer. For a while she keeps her head above water by skillfully exploiting a friendly coworker, but her brothers and sisters are running amok at home and a venomous receptionist has it in for her at work. The role-reversal humor of Sue Ellen having to mother her siblings is unsurprising, but Applegate is unexpectedly appealing; her scenes with Josh Charles (Dead Poet's Society, Threesome) have a sweet chemistry. Joanna Cassidy (Blade Runner, The Laughing Policeman) plays Sue Ellen's boss and a young David Duchovny (The X-Files, The Rapture) is a weaselly clerk. --Bret Fetzer
