The Brilliance of "Babysitting"
If the other glowing reviews in this post haven't convinced you yet, let me add mine to the mix. I recently got my hands on a copy of the film. It was everything I had expected and more. The shining center of the movie is Monica Himmleheber's performance as Laura-Ann. Not only is Monica gorgeous, but she has the grace and the acting chops needed to pull off this type of role. In a lesser film, Laura-Ann would have just been a body to be stripped, but Monica transforms her into a character, which, to me, is the real selling point of the movie. It was entertaining watching Laura-Ann's transformation from fussy schoolmarm to "empowered" professor, with a little help from her young wards, of course.
My favorite scenes were the nude cleaning sequence (nice uses of Hidden Nudity with the piano and the duster) and the classroom scene, where we finally get the full monty (Abe Lincoln was hilarious !). For those who have said there's not enough nudity in the movie, I disagree. For the type of movie that this is, there is PLENTY. If this were a sleazy porno you would have right to complain, but this is an artistic erotic comedy and I think there may have been even more nudity than I expected. (If the classroom scene isn't enough for you, just freeze frame during other segments). Another selling point: the movie is funny. Sexy and funny is a winning combination, no doubt about it.
If you haven't bought the movie yet, BUY IT! What are you waiting for?
Helmhood, I can't wait for your next offering.
