 'Adventures in Babysitting'
"Babysitting," the directorial debut of "The Goonies" and "Gremlins" writer Chris Columbus, is a sweet-natured, adolescent variation on the big-city fl comedy "After Hours." Its cute kid cast of suburban innocents get lost in the Urban Underland with their imperturbable baby sitter Chris.
Elisabeth Shue, previously "The Karate Kid's" girlfriend, gives Chris the common sense of a student council president as she leads this Brady Bunch through the terrors of Chicago's Tenderloin (at times actually Toronto strewn with garbage for authenticity).
The city, for adults only in these kids' eyes, is a place of dark alleys and dark faces -- Hispanic gangsters, Italian mobsters and fl hipsters -- typecast, but not necessarily unfriendly in this only partly paranoid scenario.

 Adventures In Babysitting
For me, that movie was Adventures in Babysitting, an inauspicious comedy/adventure that belonged to the mini-genre of Cool Teenagers Who Hang Out In Chicago Without Their Parents (Ferris Bueller and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, anybody?).
Elizabeth Shue stars as a babysitter who finds herself on an adventuresome chase through the mean streets of downtown Chicago along with her three babysitting charges.
Ultimately, Adventures in Babysitting is a fun, campy film that peppered many a slumber party in the '80's.
