The Crazysitter (1994)
When a petty criminal escapes from jail, she lays low by posing as a babysitter for two semmingly precious children. But when she decides to sell them for a quick profit, she gets more than she bargained for. A wildy clever family comedy in the tradition of "Home Alone" and "Mrs. Doubtfire".

Simply A Masterpiece
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
I love this movie . The Whites were hilarious . The "Special Way" (the Indian guy) man was amazing , so amazing in fact , that my friend and I created a song just for him . (: He touched my life , and i'm forever thankful to the person who created this amazing movie . The humor is just like mine , and it's very silly for a movie made in the 90's . I would totally buy this movie and watch it again and again and again n. It's a real family movie . You and your family/friends would enjoy it very much . It's given me so many laughs ! We love you Special Way Man. This movie will touch your life, and make you think twice about touching your wife ! :D Over all , great movie .
The Crazysitter in my opinion is by far one of the best comedy films of all time. The acting and humor are equally good in the same way! Phil Hartman and Tim Bagley had hilarious cameo appearances and Beverly D'Angelo made several funnies throughout the film. The doctor at the end is pretty fun to watch too!Plot: Two bratty children Jason and Bea are causing lots of trouble around their lavish home. Their rich and somewhat troubled parents are forced to place a new ad for a nanny for them after they drive their old nanny to insanity. During this time their father gets a business call and has to report to France with their mother. The only person to watch their kids for them is an filthy ex-con with a drinking problem who was so goofy and crude she got thrown out of prison named Edie. Without knowing any of this, they hire Edie as a new nanny mostly because the kids liked her. That same day, Edie watches a twisted talk show which is covering the topic of selling children. She automatically gets the idea to sell Jason and Bea after finding out that they are worth thousands of dollars! She seeks help from her still incarcerated and sleazy friend. After the kids blow a hole in a wall with a shotgun, vomit on an expensive couch and kill a monkey, everybody is afraid to buy them. So Edie is stuck with Jason and Bea and begins to build a bond with them. At the end when their parents come home, they are impressed with Edie'services and let her continue working for them.Don't be afraid to rent this movie or buy if you can find it, trust it's worth your time and money. Laughter is waiting for you!
Look this picture isn't winning any academy awards, but you have to watch it with the right frame of mind. The humor is as dark as they can get away with for the time and mainstream market. It's about selling children. You can either find the humor in that or you can't. If you're that guy that always laughs when someone falls down the stairs, then you're probably going to enjoy this movie. Perhaps a better litmus test would be if you enjoyed "Welcome to the Dollhouse." Beverly D'Angelo really delivers on the humor of the script and I think her talent is often overlooked. The only real problem is that the movie was pushed too hard for a mainstream market. This movie borderlines on campy but doesn't go quite far enough to be a cult classic. You can choose to watch it with an open mind and enjoy it for what it is, or be too uptight about the comedy and miss the whole point.
Look, this film is terrible... the "plot" involves twins who are neglected by their self-absorbed parents, and left in the care of a succession of nannies and babysitters, all of whom the children drive away by being completely obnoxious. Eventually the kids engineer ex-convict Beverly D'Angelo to be their new nanny, do you care why? And D'Angelo watches a TV talk show about selling children and decides she will try to sell the twins... and, well, oh, you don't want to know. It's all very unpleasant, and not at all funny. In fact the announcer slated this film before it came on the TV channel I was watching! Just don't bother wasting a single moment of your life on this pile of complete trash, y'hear?
