Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead Ratings & Reviews
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Tim Cogshell
June Squibb is just wonderful in this movie.
AV Club
Liz Coopersmith
Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead moves at the pace of a good sitcom.

This "modern re-imagining" of Don't Tell Mom represents everything that makes people skeptical and cynical towards remakes. Everything interesting about it is stolen from a better movie while its new ideas are devoid of creativity or entertainment.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
Surprisingly authentic and fun for remake material, which is naturally formulaic. It's the focus on character work that lets this one sing, and it should make a star out of Jones, who, like her character, manages to hold it all together.

Brian Orndorf
I wasn't permitted to screen "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead" for review this week, and now I understand why.
The Daily Beast
Jesse Hassenger
By the time the opening credits roll, nearly 20 minutes into the movie and over what vaguely resembles a Psycho homage, the whole project appears to have outstripped the original in pure misguidedness.
RogerEbert.com
Peyton Robinson
It comes together like a jigsaw puzzle whose pieces aren't fully pressed into place: a flimsy portrait of teen comedy and coming-of-age that won't stand the test of time.
Mashable
Robert Daniels
Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead is the kind of remake that wants to have its cake and eat it too, leaving the viewer terribly malnourished.
HuffPost
Candice Frederick
There's just not enough about this new "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead" to justify its existence.
Chicago Tribune
Chicago Tribune Staff
It's the focus on character and allowing the actors to shine that makes this one sing, and it should make a star out of Jones, who, like her character, manages to hold it all together.
Common Sense Media
Monique Jones
Unlike the recent reboot of House Party, this reimagining of the 1991 original brings much more heart and is thankfully less hollow.
Fish Jelly Films (YouTube)
Joseph Robinson
A fresh and funny remake
New York Times
Amy Nicholson
Don't tell helicopter parents, but the gleefully transgressive flicks that entertained a generation of latchkey wildlings are coming back in style.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Jones has many good moments, and "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead" is a decent remake of a decent movie.
FandomWire
M.N. Miller
Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead is a forgettable remake. It's unfunny and hardly worth your time.
Screen Rant
Kayla Turner
The lighthearted revamp of Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead doesn't quite match the charm or appeal of the original cult classic.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Bites off more than it could chew, but it's nonetheless amusing and occasionally funny. Fans of the beloved original will be pleased.
Variety
Courtney Howard
Genuinely funny, charming and sincere, it's a respectful and revelatory update in a world where those are few and far between.
IndieWire
Christian Zilko
The true flaw at the heart of "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead" is that its title implies a dark comedy before squandering most of its potential on a simple story about kids learning to fend for themselves.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
After its darkly comic set-up, the mild proceedings seem generally undercooked, lacking the subversiveness that could have given the remake a reason for being.
