Babysitter Diaries 9 is available on-demand starting next Friday. Parental discretion is very much advised.
From the moment the doorbell rings, we know we’re in for something different. Elaina Raye — playing the endlessly resourceful babysitter “Jenna” — stands on the porch of a sleek, modern house, nervously adjusting her oversized denim jacket. The twist? This is her third sitting job for the same family, and the first time the father answers the door alone.
★★★★½ (lost half a star because someone really should have locked that wine cabinet)
The Babysitter Diaries franchise has built its reputation on awkward hellos, strict parents, and hidden cameras. But Scene 1 of the ninth installment might just be the most loaded opening yet.
