Well, there are a couple of swear words but nothing else to worry about for a family movie night. Elisabeth Shue is charming and the kids are adorable. Great scene in a blues club.

Adventures in Babysitting
Hard to believe that this film came out in 1987. About 34 years ago from the time I am posting this review. Because this movie is a classic, they made this anniversary edition for 25 years. I purchased it on Blu-Ray because having watched it on HBO when it came on TV, I don’t prefer the Disney+ version as it removed too many parts and subs over the characters voices. This version I am more familiar with.First of all, I love the cover. 80s movies always had cool posters that look like they were comic book motif. Sometimes the posters made the movie look more exciting that it was or just added onto the film. In this case, every time I see the cover, I have a sense of Nostalgia and delight knowing how cool this movie is. It also makes me imagine what this movie would be like as a comic book or graphic novel. (Hey, it’d be something I’d read! Look at how cool the cover and logo are!)The movie is distributed by Touchstone, meaning it’s technically a Disney film. So that means no Disc to Digital conversion. The disc will play on video game systems like the PS5 and Xbox Series X.When you load the disc, you will get a ton of Disney trailers, then you will get to the main menu. The main menu is the same poster as the cover, but without a logo. The music that plays is “Babysitting Blues” but without lyrics. There are no bonus features on this disc. There are multiple languages: English, Spanish and French. The good news is the languages are fully recorded without speaking over the original English track, which does get on my nerves normally. The subtitles are English, French and Spanish as well.The other features are the “Sneak Peeks” option, which shows the Disney trailers you saw before when you loaded up the disc. Nothing special. Finally, there’s the info button. Which should not have been an option. The reason being is that it just displays the message that says: “The commentaries and interviews on this disc are for entertainment purposes only….”The Pop-up menu just shows “Continue” and “Menus”. So if you want to add subtitles or change the language during the film, that won’t be possible. You will need to go back to the main menu.Overall, the quality is great and definitely worth having in your collection. I do wish there was sort of like an anniversary exclusive bonus feature where the original cast re-unites and talks about the film, but I guess that wasn’t made right? With this price as well, you can’t go wrong!
