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.
As if this news wasn’t expected, but it is still great to hear. The Boy Meets World sequel Girl Meets World is coming to the Disney Channel in 2014. Ben Savage is back as Cory and Danielle Fishel is returning as wife, Topagna, and they are now the parents to a teenage girl.
According to TV Line the show will focus on:
Set in New York City, the new comedy series will tell the wonderfully funny, heartfelt stories that Boy Meets World is renowned for — only this time from a tween girl’s perspective — as the curious and bright 7th grader Riley and her quick-witted friend Maya (played by Sabrina Carpenter) embark on an unforgettable middle school experience. But their plans for a carefree year will be adjusted slightly under the watchful eyes of Riley’s dad who’s also a faculty member — and their new History teacher — and Riley’s mom who owns a trendy afterschool hangout that specializes in pudding.
Now that Boy Meets World is coming back, what other ’90s sitcom would you like to see come back with a sequel? I would love to Dinosaurs because that was my favorite, although that one could return as it was. It would be interesting to see what happened to kids from Step By Step and/or Just the 10 of Us too. Maybe the City Guys are now City Dads and their boys are going to school together? The possibilities are endless!
