The same old slop., Oct 14 2003

By	Brett Johnson "xfile1971" (Phoenix, AZ - USA) - See all my reviews

This is a kids' movie so the following rules apply:

1. All of the kids are quite smart. 2. All of the parents and police are totally clueless. 3. Poop figures prominently in a running gag.

Seen it all before? So have I. The only positive thing I can say about this film is that the child acting is at least tolerable.

The silly plot involves an "almost 14" year old babysitting for a famous basketball player. The player and his wife have to go to an MVP Award ceremony. They decide to leave their precious baby in the care of a girl whom they have never met, and who has never even babysat before. Hmm...okay.

Through a series of lame and improbable events, the baby gets kidnapped and held for a $10 million ransom. It's up to the kids (of course) to get the baby safely home before the basketball guy gets back and finds out what has happened. Feel free to seek out better family fare than this.
