Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead Synopsis

Seventeen year old Tanya's plans for a carefree summer are derailed when her stressed-to-the-limit mom takes off for a wellness retreat and puts Tanya and her three siblings in the charge of a crotchety (and racist) old babysitter. The babysitter’s sudden death leaves the kids short on cash and reluctant to pull mom prematurely out of her much-needed R&R, so Tanya is forced to get a job. Posing as an adult, she gets a gig as the executive assistant at a fashion company and overnight is thrust into the world of adulthood and parenting.

**AWFUL EVERYTHING** I truly can't believe this movie was actually approved and financed. The acting, the script, the story, the dialogue are all hilariously awful. One of the first movies I have tried to watch where I was speechless at how stupid everything was. Literally the dumbest film I've seen in 2025. Someone with eeeeeeextremely low IQ must have written this! **1/10 Organize your Tupperware cabinet instead of watching this 😂**
