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.
