When I heard that Disney Channel was redoing Adventures in Babysitting, I was expecting it to be awful. I was greatly mistaken about the remake that debuts tonight at 8p.
Uptight Jenny (Sabrina Carpenter) and wild Lola (Sofia Carson) are both up for the same photography internship. While talking to the boss, they both drop their phones that look alike and get switched. Something they don’t realize until they are in their cars driving away.
Jenny runs a babysitting company and Lola needs money; so when Lola gets a call about a job, she accepts. She thinks it will be easy, but it is anything but.
When Jenny finds out that Lola took a job at the Andersons, she runs over to the house with the kids she is babysitting. They are rebellious Emily (Nikki Hahn) and fashionista Katy (Mallory James Mahoney). Lola is taking care of future cook Bobby (Jet Jurgensmeyer), roller hockey aficionado AJ (Madison Horcher) and teen Trey (Max Gecowets), but when Jenny gets there the last one is missing. They find out he left his suburban home to go to a concert in Downtown Seattle.
Now the 6 of them are on their way to the city to find him using his mother’s very expensive car. Their first stop is a pawn shop where he bought the tickets. When Lola takes a photo of the shop owner holding a ferret he stole, the owners will chase them to get that photo back. Which should be a lot easier for them because the car the babysitters were driving got towed. They don’t have the money to get the car back and they have to find a way to get to Trey who went to his favorite pizza joint.
Once they find Trey that is when the adventures really start. Will they be able to get the 5 kids home before the parents get home? Will they get caught by the parents? The pawn shop owners? The police? You will want to tune to find out in this enjoyable movie that will not only babysit the kids tonight, it will also babysit you.
