disappointing
3 February 2005
First of all, I'm a huge fan of Babysitters Club books. However at the time I went to go see the movie, I was reading the Little Sister books (the series about Kristy's stepsister Karen). So of course I was terribly disappointed that Karen only had one line in the film. They could of used her more. And they could of showed her friends too maybe. Plus Jessi and Mallory didn't even have a storyline. Also (correct me if I'm wrong) in the book series, didn't Alan Gray have a crush on Kristy? In one of the books, (book 2, i think) they go to the Halloween dance together. Yet in this movie he seems to want Dawn. Plus where's Shannon Kilbourne? (the associate member of the BSC who lives across the street from Kristy) They could of used her. And Bart Taylor? (Kristy's sorta boyfriend) It would of been great to put him in there. And Kristy has two other brothers!!!! It's like they don't exist. And Claudia's the one who bonds with Rosie Wilder, NOT Stacey. Charlotte is Stacey's favorite baby sitting charge. That is mentioned in like every single book of the whole series!!!! Plus if it's summer, then that means the Pikes go to Sea City, not to camp. They could of done a movie about that.

Also at the beginning of the movie, Kristy rides her bike to the meeting. This is wrong because the Brewers live across town for the Kishis and it has been implied several times that Kristy has to get to Claudia's house by car.

Other people not shown: Claudia's older sister Janine, Dawn's younger brother Jeff, Jessi's brother and sister (although there is a scene with a little black girl and you can assume that's Jessi's little sister Becca because the Ramseys are the only black family in Stoneybrook), and all of Mallory's siblings.

Bottom Line: The producers should of read the books BEFORE they wrote the screenplay.

Don't mess with the master!!!!! :)
