A cultural twist brings a new perspective to an old IP, and proves there's still some life left in this crazy concept
As you may have surmised from the title, Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead is a remake of the popular 1991 film of the same name. The original starred Christina Applegate , coasting on her sitcom fame as the dumb blonde daughter on the popular Fox show Married… With Children , as Sue Ellen Crandell, a 17-year-old girl whose summer is upended by her mother’s travel plans and the unexpected responsibilities thrust on her by the circumstances outlined in the title.
Other elements have been adjusted to stay current with the times. Still, there’s no getting past the implausibility of the central premise, which pushed the bounds of believability even back in the ’90s. The plausibility contortions required to make it work in 2024 are even more challenging.
