"Saw this in theater with my friend that looks just like Christina Applegate. We got some interesting looks and a few phone numbers... Lol.. The movie is fun and pretty 80's even though it debuted in 91. Christina Applegate plays a girl named, Swell and Keith Coogan plays her loser brother. "The dishes are done man!" "

"A summer family comedy about a mom who gets a babysitter to watch her kids for the summer as she travels for her job, though through a turn of events she passes on. Not wanting to call the mom they family works to keep themselves afloat during the summer after they can’t find the cash their mom left them. Worth watching as the kids begin to grow up taking care of themselves over the summer break!"
