Best movie ever!

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I liked this movie until a little over half-way through (which is why I gave it a 6 rather than lower). As others have mentioned this seemed more about shaming the girls. The parents of the main girl are terrible. First they wipe out her college fund (really late into the game too so she really had no hope of getting the money to go to the college she was hoping for in such a short time) saying how they hope they'll get loans to pay her back and then when she went to drastic measures (not agreeing with what she did though) they say how disappointed in her and that they didn't raise her that way. Unfortunately what this movie tells us is even in this day and age the girl still seems to take the brunt of the stigma.

Not too bad for an 'awareness' film. It definitely depicts the good and bad that can happen in these particular circumstances, BUT...So much time seemed to be spent on setting the scene (i.e. making sure the audience knows how stunning the cast is - which they totally are!) and I felt more time could have been spent on the film's pinnacle moments. It would've had a much more lasting impact.Towards the end it felt rushed - like I had to put pieces together to figure out what was going on, and it didn't seem to be a realistic time line. I've seen a few other movies with the same type of themes - albeit much more raunchy and seductive in comparison to Babysitter's Black Book - and those others I was hooked into watching right to the end, where as this one only made me want to watch it to the end to know how it all miserably played out.It was a really good idea for a film, especially with kids these days growing up way too fast - shows them how even the most glamorous lifestyles and mistakes do come with a price. It highlights the issues with America's Higher Education System and what it causes families and individuals to be pushed to do.Worth the watch, something I would be able to recommend to someone, but it isn't something I'd choose to watch again.

I don't know if this movie is a remake of 2007 movie, "The Babysitters" starring John Leguizmo & Katherine Waterston or not because they never said so, they just said its a movie with the same premise. So, the premise is really similar, about a bunch of high school girl who work as a babysitter, job doesn't paid well so they just turned to prostitution, the oldest job ever. The only different is this TV movie is more sexier, prettier and hotter. Who cant resist Spencer Locke and Lauren York? One of the reviewer said that this movie is purposeful made to show off this hot girl, hot girl sells right? And I can say its more easy and light to absorb than the movie one. I check the real story, yeah its bad and the worst thing that can happen to our family so I don't think this movie can deliver some moral advice to the audience. I like it, its fun to watch but its just some fun rebellious hot teen movie. No hard feeling.

Sexy 17-year-old blonde Spencer Locke (as Ashley) starts "Family Buddies" as a babysitters' club with her hot high school girlfriends. The eager young women need money for college and stuff, so they decide to get even bigger bucks by opening up the business to include prostitution. The fathers include amazingly hunky Ryan McPartlin (as Mark), who doesn't look like he should be paying. He's also a lawyer, although this "Lifetime" TV movie claims to be "Inspired by True Events." Highly arousing Angeline Fioridella Appel (as Rachel Foster) seems smartest, but the cast appears mentally challenged in the art of sexual courtship. That's obviously not the point being made, here, however. Lovingly directed by Lee Friedlander this is unabashed soft core masquerading as social consciousness; as such, you need only know the girls and dads are desirable and attractive.***** Babysitter's Black Book (2/21/15) Lee Friedlander ~ Spencer Locke, Ryan McPartlin, Angeline Appel, Doug Noble
