Christina Applegate was the IT girl in the 80’s. Glad she got a standing ovation at the Emmy’s.

[@cadillacdeville5828]

This movie was funny, but human resources was NON existent to any basic checks ✅😂

[@PHSDM104]

To be fair, Rose did a direct hire. Not uncommon, especially in the early 90's.

[@marieknight9385]

It wasn’t uncommon for some companies to not remember employees too

[@hahajaxsontv]

It was because Rose hired her. Not the company.

I learned so much from Pop Up Video on VH-1

[@P.Lastered]

rewatched not too long ago. the mom was always tired and worn, but she had a huge enough house that all fives of her kids could have separate rooms in, despite being a single parent. she didn’t have a lick of spare time for them kids, let alone to preach to them about washing some dishes

[@Mad-UpperCuts]

I was wondering if the dad passed and she got big insurance or the dad was paying huge child support.

[@P.Lastered]

@@Mad-UpperCuts nah in the movie the oldest siblings alluded to calling their dad to ask for some help, but they both just brushed it off like it was fuck him fr.

[@PHSDM104]

"I'm right on top of that, Rose" became a running joke around my office. This movie definitely hit a different note when watching it as an adult.

[@tiffanyrenee6055]

[@cadillacdeville5828]

The children were entitled,bratty, disrespectful, wasteful and more...😊. They needed that type of babysitter, just toned down a bit to be more appropriate.

[@forthenostalgia]

I agree😂

Technically, Sue Ellen used the petty cash to throw the party. In the petty cash drawer, there are receipts that cover the expenses of the party.

[@MichellaneousMe]

R.I.P Christopher Pettiet ( he was Zach the lovestruck sibling). He was one of my childhood crushes and I remember watching this movie over and over because of him 💕

[@shaylah2725]

sad! had no idea that he passed 😔

[@djextrabacon7573]

I know he died of drug overdose in April 2000. He was just 24

[@derekknowles5805]

I think he was abused by his Agent or photographer

[@CandieP]

When I say this movie was the epitome of my childhood as a ‘82 baby 🙌🏾. I wanted my mom and Dad to go on vacation so bad so we can all watch over ourselves like SueEllen and her sibs, but then 🤔…. we realized we could barely survive 5 hours without our authority figures. 😂 Edit: My heart goes out to Christina Applegate and her M.S. illness. She is definitely one of my fav actresses from the 90’s.

[@emanuelespinoza9325]

I watched the hell out of this movie as a kid. It was on HBO all the time. Yes, you do make some valid points about the other characters, but I wondered if the kids got their acts together after the film. One more thing, Carolyn may have loved what happened, but after being told off by Rose, she wouldn't get a damn thing. That smile didn't last long as her boyfriend's car was trashed by Kenny's friends. So karma bit her in the ass once again.

[@Thrashaholic1988]

I cannot believe that Hollywood decided to give this movie a remake.

[@HappyCabezonFish-je4tk]

Really? I didn't know that. This is such a classic. I wonder what a remake will be like I don't have high hopes.

[@KaoticDude]

One of my favorite films growing up. Very nostalgic.

[@stephr126]

I can't tell you how many times I've wacthed this movie. Most definitely one of my favs as a kid.

[@EstrellaCrumpton]

i am now 19 and watching this recap and actually thinking over this movie WHY THE HELL DIDNT THEY JUST TELL THE MOM ABOUT THE BABYSITTER?!!😭like they wouldn't have gone to jail or anything. the lady clearly had a heart attack. a simple call to 911 and an autopsy report would've proven the kids innocent. those kids were terrible tho. like i get being lazy children at a young age, but full on stealing from your mom (and sister) is insane to me. especially after finding out about the embezzlement. y'all still taking advantage of sue ellen even though it was clear she stole the money to feed everybody. and kenny being her twin was crazy too. you mean to tell me your awaken to life was seeing your brother almost die(basically)? i think it was nice to see kenny's growth tho, he still could've experienced his stoner life as a young adult, while still being in school.

[@marieknight9385]

The mom was gone all Summer not a couple weeks, so about 3months, she left those kids for MONTHS 😂😂, and not once did she get suspicious

[@garfieldclarkjr2483]

The movie also served as a vehicle for Christina Applegate while Married With Children was still a hit and she is what really carried this film IMO . And because of her and like i said in an earlier comment it made back twice its budget in a time where Terminator 2 ruled the year

[@tionak]

Oh the next movie is gonna be The Family That Preys! Alfre Woodard and Sanaa Lathan played mother and daughter and this and love and basketball.

[@forthenostalgia]

Yep!

[@keandrebell-washington9904]

Love this movie tremendously. Takes me back when I was 7 years old watching it on my 12 inch T.V for the first time. As for the next movie you are going to review, it is obviously The Family That Preys. You are absolutely right in saying that was Tyler Perry's last good movie because every film after it got progressively worse.

[@MandaMalice]

Christopher Pettiet who played Zach (the younger brother) sadly died in 2000 and Keith Coogan who played Kenny (the older brother) is the grandson son of Jackie Coogan who played Uncle Fester in the original Addams Family TV series.

[@HappyCabezonFish-je4tk]

[@princesslulu5795]

Guy 1: Im gonna miss her Guy 2: You never even knew her!

[@tlfsag88]

So here’s the thing: I was 80s born and 90s raised but I’ve never seen this movie. I want to say I’ve heard of the title but my memory is very vague. Despite the babysitter passing away, despite how the kids behaved, despite the fact that the eldest daughter stole money and lied her way to a job, there was some good to come out of situation. As you mentioned, it forced Sue Ellen and Kenneth to grow up and offered some sort of insight into life in general and their futures. And I do agree that she could’ve worked part time and go to college but seeing how the old lady (babysitter) got up out for good and understanding what her mom went through with them, she wanted to enjoy her freedom. And those were drag queens who stole the babysitter’s car. Very good review! And as for next week’s video, all I’m going to do is wait. I actually like the visual hints even though I didn’t get the one for this week. I’m trying to think of the mother/daughter duo but I’m stuck. I’ve stopped watching Tyler Perry stuff a while ago. See you next Sunday!!

[@Lilianamarie999]

It's absurd, it's colorful, the children are raggedy, Christina Applegate is giving lewks and growth. I love it.

The family that prays that's definitely one of Tyler Perry's Last best films he ever made plus the cast was a stellar cast they all did amazing

[@ladariusmcdonald]

This damn movie lol. One of my childhood faves. Love Sue Ellen, love Rose, hated Carolyn, Gus is a creep, Kenny is a lovable goofball. EDIT: My heart goes out to Christina Applegate. Her dealing with such a debilitating disease like multiple sclerosis is heartbreaking. I wish her good health and good positive energy.

[@marklouis1890]

I share the same sentiments

[@jessicanash1946]

@12:06 "juices start flowing" at 37 years old rewatching this, Gus was more than a creep omg!! The boldness!?! And it totally reminds me of how older men thought they could talk to me that way in the workplace at 17!!

Great review!! Wore my VCR out back in the day watching this movie and watched it every single time it came on TV. Also can’t wait for the next review about a family that has a tendency to “prey” on folks they deem weaker than them. To me it was Tyler’s best to be honest, but that’s just IMO. Your reviews are entertaining and fun as always!

[@MissNoel82]

This was one of my favorite movies growing up! "I'm right on top of that, Rose!" 😂 I use to say that to my mom. Even though the storyline was unrealistic in a lot of ways, people did get away with a lot of things back in today! I'm feeling nostalgic!

[@GoldenRainbow1987]

I LOVEDEDEDED this movie. It was and STILL is on HEAVY rotation! I can't wait to see your POV & takeaway ❤😂! Edit: As usual LOVED your review!! - Sue-Ellen asks Loverboy about the ring right after he says that girl was her moon goddess. I believe he does in fact get that ish back lol! - The mom isn't so much in a daze as she is impressed the house and kids have looked in order more than it ever did. I think she really thinks the old lady did it which is why she asks where the baby sitter is at the end. - This movie is "quintessential early 90s movie", so it really can only be viewed in those lenses hence the many montages, the costuming and uniforms, the storyline itself! WHICH IS WHY I'm like..... Why are they even trying to do a remake ?!?? 🤦🏾‍♀️
