The eponymous clique is comprised of seven pre-teen girls who are the best of friends. Together, they started an enterprise: a club where parents could reach 7 babysitters with just one call. And now they're going to run a summer day-camp for their young wards. Will they succeed? Meanwhile, the girls are all going through various personal crises: strained father/daughter relationships, puppy love, fashion plights, dieting dilemmas, and ugh, summer school. But through the best of times and the worst, through the laughter and the tears, and through the joys and the pains, the girls of the Babysitter's Club are always there for each other, till the very end.

The Baby-Sitters Club is like an average installment of the series, aimed at girls who can't get enough of their fictional friends in any form.

85 minutes doesn't provide an adequate format for developing seven distinct characters.

Though the script is predictable, it's not too clumsy.

A colorful, buoyant, loving tribute to the notion of girlfriends forever.

The Baby-Sitters Club has a youthful buoyancy and whimsical rhythm that catches even the most jaundiced (i.e., 16-year-old) viewers up in its play of light and energy.

Fans and would-be fans of Ann M. Martin's books may be enthralled, but, for the rest of us, The Baby-Sitters Club is something of an endurance contest.

Were there not 125 million of Ann M. Martin's Club books currently in print, this cinematically destitute movie might have gone directly to video.
