The light tone, classical style, and Shue as Sandra Dee stand-in are more indicative of a cinematic mindset from approximately 25 years earlier.

By the end of the film, I'd had a couple of real laughs and a few interesting moments, but that was about all.

Like "Home Alone," "Adventures in Babysitting" is a lightweight comic adventure, but it's effective in what it sets out to do . . . and that's entertain.

The direction is fast-paced, the characters are vulnerable and sympathetic and even the bad guys have their moments.

Seemed fun at the time, in '87, but dates badly. Still, kids might like it.

Chris sets off on a rescue mission, and ends up running the gauntlet of big city perils in a belaboured spinning-out of a weak storyline.

Surprisingly sprightly, entertaining, sweet-natured comedy.
