Plot summary
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.

Rotten Tomatoes is a joke.
Eh, they tried.
A few fun nods to the OG but fell short. Super rushed and lacked the bite and reality of the original. The simple fact is, the original wouldn't fly on a logical stance these days. No one questioned it in the early 90s. The original had realistic kids and characters for that time, even Kenny's evolution couldn't be mimicked. My kids and I watched it and I immediately made them watch the original because it had a magic the remake couldn't capture. I'm all for taking nostalgia and trying to reinvent it but this fell flat. I hope no one tries a camp nowhere remake because I'd imagine it'd be as lame as this.
