KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Uriah43 "Jim Carlton" (George E. Carey) is a film director who is working on a modern film but is out-of-date as far as the cultural lingo is concerned. As luck would have it Jim's wife "Mona Carlton" (Luanne Roberts) has called for a babysitter that night by accident. Once the babysitter, "Candy Wilson" (Susan Romen) arrives Mona tells her husband that she is going away to see her mother which leaves Jim and Candy by themselves. It's at this time that Candy reads the script for the film and tells Jim that the slang needs updated and offers to take him to a hip nightclub. One thing leads to another and soon Jim and Candy end up sleeping together. Meanwhile, Mona has found herself in a bit of trouble because rather than going to her mother's house she has ventured to see a drug dealer named "Rich Harris" (James Almanzar) because she is in dire need of some heroin, Yet even though she pays him the exorbitant price he has asked for he wants even more. And because of her condition she is in no position to argue. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this movie bears a remarkable similarity to "The Babysitter" which was produced a year earlier. For example, George E. Carey starred in the lead role as the man seduced by the babysitter in both movies. Likewise, the name of the babysitter in both films was "Candy Wilson" played by Patricia Wymer in the first and the aforementioned Susan Romen here. However the plot is more dual-edged in this particular movie with half of the focus being on Mona Carlton's predicament. On the other hand, although Susan Romen performed in a solid manner she wasn't quite as sensational as Patricia Wymer. On another note, while the scenarios were definitely dated they managed to entertain for the most part. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the ending which was more than a little corny. That said, even though I enjoyed it I must admit that this movie isn't for everybody and it will probably only appeal to those who like this particular sub-genre and were alive during this strange period in time. Be that as it may I rate this movie as about average.

TheBlueHairedLawyer Contrary to internet myths, this isn't a pornographic movie. The idea of a teen babysitter having relations with a middle-aged man is rather disturbing (he's old enough to be her grandfather, ewww). But it was made in 1970, the same year as 'I Drink Your Blood' and during the free love movement. Oddly enough, this weird little movie is a great example of the ideology and flaws of the times, not to mention the nostalgia of the film quality and soundtrack itself.Basically, the movie is divided between a husband and wife. The husband is having a sexual affair in secret with a teenage babysitter, being introduced to the glamorized version of the hippie lifestyle. The wife is a junkie who is being held hostage by her suppliers. If a movie like this one was around today, the husband would hopefully be charged and the wife would get into rehab... hopefully.It was surprisingly a likable movie, actually rather corny by today's standards. It's the 1970's low-budget music and film type style I like, not necessarily the plot itself. I watched it thinking that maybe I'd get a few laughs out of it but knowing that it likely wouldn't be very good, and what do you know? It was certainly interesting; the idea that this movie gives off is that "you're never too old to have fun, get it on and do drugs with hippies and teenagers, and everyone else around you enjoys it, too". In reality, a situation like the one presented in this movie would just be sad, weird, wrong and crazy. It's strange how movies can either romanticize or make too big a deal out of various situations, and this movie does a good job of that. The motorcycle shots were pretty cool, I'll give it that. And at least the babysitter made the husband see how much he truly loved his wife and kids in the end, so it's got some class - but not very much.One question though - where were the babysitter's parents, for crying out loud? Their teenage daughter is making love to a pervy old man while his wife is getting high with her kidnappers! What's WRONG with these people!?

NickStricharchuk Weekend With the Babysitter : George E. Carrey stars as Jim, a well-off B-movie director who falls for his kids' babysitter. It's not hard to understand the attraction: his wife, a washed up actress-turned-junkie, is pretty damn irritating. Plus, the babysitter gives him some tips on the ridiculous script he's working on--a motorcycle gang/hippie movie. Trouble mounts while the director and babysitter are exploring free-wheeling good times (under the guise of doing movie research) when Jim's wife gets in too deep with some drug dealers by offering up her husband's fancy boat to complete a drug deal in exchange for another fix. What's funny about this film is that its predecessor, The Babysitter (1969), also stars George E. Carrey in what amounts to the same part. In this one, George E. Carrey is credited as co-writer of the film's plot. Funnier still is the babysitter, played here by Susan Romen, is named Candy, which is the namesake of the earlier film's babysitter as well, as depicted by Patricia Wymer. The most "meta" connection between the two is that, when Candy review's Jim's new script, she criticizes the dialogue, noting that "people don't talk this way." For all we know, she could have been reading the script of the earlier Babysitter film--although it's amusing to note that the Candys in both films enjoy saying "Ciao, baby!" This one is mostly entertaining, although the 1969 film is better by a thin margin.

Ben Larson There was a shooting star named Patricia Wymer, who appeared in a 1969 film by the same director called The Babysitter. She only did about three movies and then disappeared.Director Don Henderson brings in a new girl, Susan Romen, to play Candy Wilson, the babysitter. She only made two films. As a matter of interest, Henderson quit directing the same time after only three films. I wonder what happened to all these people.Anyway, while movie producer Jim Carlton (George E. Carey) is having fun with the babysitter and her hippie friends, his wife Mona (Luanne Roberts) is captive to her drug dealer.This is not the typical grindhouse film of the 70s. It was more a drama about hippies and drugs. Yes, there was some nudity and woman on woman action, but it was rather tame.Still, a good story, if the acting was a bit lame.Who was taking care of the kids while Jim and the babysitter were having fun?
