Independence, responsibility, and fat vats—Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead was right on top of that, Rose!
For those old enough to remember it, kids ruled the ’90s. Between our very own “Choice Awards” and a steady stream of slime to shower celebrities with, Nickelodeon, The Disney Channel, and Nerf retailers flooded TV screens with images of independent youngsters with the magical ability to eat McDonald’s whenever they wanted. “Kids rule,” the tagline for 1994’s Camp Nowhere read, and it was an ethos injected into the culture four years earlier with the release of Home Alone .
Shot months before Cathrine O’Hara’s immortal “Kevin!” would enter the zeitgeist, the film takes influence from Reagan-era satires, like Risky Business, Working Girl, and The Secret Of My Success. That outlook informs Swell’s career path. Herek spends less time fooling Mom and more time on what it takes to be a single female breadwinner feeding a family of five. Much of the film revolves around Sue Ellen maintaining a work/life balance, sacrificing her beach days for overtime pay.
