Chris Parker agrees to babysit after her "dream" date stands her up. Expecting a dull evening, Chris settles down with three kids for a night of TV... and boredom. But when her frantic friend Brenda calls and pleads to be rescued from the bus station in downtown Chicago, the evening soon explodes into an endless whirl of hair-raising adventures! Babysitter and kids leave their safe suburban surroundings and head for the heart of the big city, never imagining how terrifyingly funny their expedition will become!

I was watching this with my 9 year old son and niece, and this preview popped into my head. I was born in 79, but quoted half the preview that I haven't seen in 25+ years. Amazing how the strangest things stick with you. Even quoted that "you could say they were having a bad night if they weren't having such a great time." And yes, Ms. Shue is still GORGEOUS. - @Tuesday, July 16, 2013 12:50 AM
