It's not a Martin Scorcese masterpiece and you could drive Mrs. Sturak's Buick through some of the plot holes, but Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead is a delightful coming-of-age teen flick. Christina Applegate covers up the twins and shows she has some acting chops and a special bonus for me that it co-stars Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) alumni Danielle Harris. Keith Coogan also deserves an honorable mention as slacker turned culinary wiz Kenny. The film also has a few memorable one liners, one used in the workplace to this very day - "I'm right on the top of that (insert boss' name)"
