Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Woodyanders Square middle-aged movie director Jim Carlton (nicely played by George E. Carey, who also produced the picture and co-wrote the story) befriends sweet, but foxy and enticing teenage babysitter Candy Wilson (a winningly warm and sincere performance by gorgeously voluptuous brunette stunner Susan Romen). Candy shows Jim the real swinging 70's youth scene and eventually has a steamy May-December fling with him. Meanwhile, Jim's pathetic shrewish junkie wife Mona (a perfectly bitchy Luanne Roberts) runs afoul of slimy drug dealer Rich Harris (a pleasingly nasty portrayal by James Almanzar). Director Tom Laughlin, working from a pretty thoughtful and sensitive, yet still quite trashy and melodramatic script by James E. McLarty (who has a small part as friendly dock worker Smitty), admirably doesn't wallow in the sleaze to the ninth degree; instead Laughlin offers a tasty, vivid and refreshingly nonjudgmental evocation of the happening early 70's youth culture (the sequence where several affable hippies teach Jim the proper way to toke on a joint is a real hoot!). Yes, this film does deliver a generous sprinkling of yummy female nudity and a few fairly hot soft-core sex scenes, but overall it's not the all-out crassly lurid piece of pandering sleaze that its premise suggests it might be. The hippie characters are shown in a positive light while Jim is drawn as a basically decent and well-meaning guy. Carey and Romen are both fine in the lead roles; they receive sturdy support from Annik Borel as Harris' kinky bisexual girlfriend Doris, Anthony Victor as browbeaten, sympathetic flunky Sancho, Bob Bernard as amiable longhair A.K., and Gloria Hill as fetching, flighty hippie chick Mary Mary. Both Jack Steely's sharp cinematography and Robert O. Ragland's groovy-jammin' score are up to par. A cool little flick.

Admiral Sunshine I only bought this DVD because it was dirt cheap and it seemed interesting in its own special way ("special" meaning "retarded"). The movie turned out to be quite uninteresting - boring camera work, nothing really driving the story, and of course the acting is horrible. It wasn't even "bad" in a campy way - it was just plain bad. There are actually a handful of great lines of dialogue but for the most part its awkward and weak. All I could think about while watching this was that this could actually be a good movie if the script was given a major overhaul (if it were written by someone who actually understood drug culture) and if some decent actors were cast. I wouldn't recommend "Weekend With the Babysitter" unless if you plan on a career in film and want to learn what not to do in a movie.

Jack Flash Annik Borel is wonderful. Some of her best nude scenes are in this film, and her acting is brilliant. I bought this film solely because she was in it, but if I'd known how good the film was I might have bought it anyway. The fairly mediocre acting of the rest of the cast is made up for and more by Annik's usual perfection.

halfwit How could the previous reviewer not mention motorcycles, ocean cruising, flying, ski chalet fireplace, and so much more? And where else can you find Mona waiting for her husband to back the car out of the garage? Where did Mikey go? I missed that part. "Weekend..." reminded me of one of those low-budget Bigfoot movies. It certainly had it's dark moments, though. I give it an 8 for pushing the envelope.
