Rama’s SCREEN

This is a tough movie to watch. Every grown men’s twisted fantasy who ever dreamt of having sex with minor might consider this movie heavenly. But after all is said and done, I find THE BABYSITTERS to be without purpose or satisfying resolution. However,… it does a good job of showing the elements of an unorganized crime, how greed and power take over and what competition can do to people, and how the sin can escalate to something that’s out of control.

A high school teen, worries about college, falls for her new client, the dad. An affair happens more than once. The extra big tip she’s given on top of her babysitting fee feels less like a guilty payoff and more like a little of surge of electricity. So when his friends wants to know if she has any friends who can also “baby-sit”, she sees a way she can make a quick twenty percent. Before long, she realizes, the more girls she has “babysitting”, the bigger her college fund.

It’s supposed to be A cautionary tale about the risky and unintended consequences of living out one’s fantasies, but I think the problem with this movie is that.. it has identity problem. It has difficulties figuring out what it really wants to be.
There are also times when the filmmaker could’ve pushed the characters to express more of what they have to go through in their complicated situation but it falls short

Overall, it’s an entertaining independent movie,
Actingwise, I think everyone’s all right, nothing extraordinary.
All the young actresses in this movie are pretty daring, gotta hand it to them.
The concept isn’t original and the directing is too subtle.

But like I said, it does show how cruel intention could sip in and take over. The whole universe of pimping.
From that starting idea, taking percentages, killing competition, and keeping somebody in or making sure nobody ’sings’.
