This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This movie was horrible. Forget the cheesiness and campiness, the fact that they turned Stacey into a lying little witch so she could get Luka was just pathetic. And Kristy's father coming to town wasn't until the bio books on the girls, not the series itself.With the exception of Larissa and Rachel, the actors were horrible. They should have kept to the actual books and not just changed everything.They should have brought in the actors from the TV series as they were better. Karen, Hannie, and Nancy should have been included, as well as Sam and Charlie, Charlotte Johannsen (NOT Rosie Wilder!) Jeff, Becca, and Mary Anne did NOT have short hair!

I first saw this movie when I was young like 8 after I starting reading the books. I absolutely loved the books and altho I haven't read all of them (i'm still searching for some and i'm trying to get into the newest series in which the BSC breaks up), I can justify that the movie is OK. Kristy(Bre Blair) is the main character. Her father comes to town and doesn't want anyone to know he's there, so Kristy starts lying to her friends and family and it turns into a big mess. The babysitters start a play group and they have to deal with Cokie Mason (from the books) and her evil plots. Stacey meets this boy who is 17. Stacey was always the "fast" one in the books so I wasn't surprised. Claudia has summer school...not surprised. Dawn and Mary Anne are involved. Jessi and Mallory are in it, but not to a huge extent. The movie basically revolves around Kristy. To me, she acts very selfish in the movie. I like it, but it could've been better. Kristy was never my favorite character in the books so I wasn't pleased with her being the star of the show but oh well. I own the movie and I watch it from time to time, but if you haven't seen it and you love the BSC, get it ASAP.

The BSC movie wasn't all bad, but it could have been better. I didn't like the casting choices at all. None of the actresses (and actors) in this movie match the description of their characters in the books. However, the cast of the video series is more faithful to the books.The movie, while fun, is very stockish and predictable. There isn't much focus on the kids, either! Sure, we get a glimpse of a child here and there (Jackie Rodowsky is no where near a Walking Disaster in the film), but the primary plot centers on Kristy Thomas.It's too bad that the character of Jessi was horribly underwritten. I'd hate to think that the screenwriter deliberately reduced her to token black person status, but that's pretty much the way Jessi comes across in the film. She only has a few lines to say, and most of them are pretty stupid.The only performances I did enjoy were those of Elizabeth and Watson (Kristy's mother and stepfather).All in all, viewers who are just looking for some mindless entertainment might get some enjoyment out of this film. However, fans of the BSC books and videos would probably be disappointed unless they aren't looking for a faithful adaptation.

TBC is a riot a minute! I've never read the books, but I saw this movie when I was 13 and I was in love with all of the girls in it. The storylines in it are perfect for adolescents. The movie abstains from boredom with some entertaining and hilarious scenes and comments, and the overall cheesiness of the film is endearing in a way. The storyline between Luca and Stacey is magic, and very funny.(SPOILER) At the end of the film, she says that next summer she'll be 14, and he says, "I know." It is absolutely gut-splitting fun. Watchable for all ages of movie fans, and afficionados of every genre and niche of movies. 8 out of 10.
