The Babysitters (2007)

 In 'The Babysitters' high school student Katherine Waterson runs a suburban prostitution ring out of a babysitters club. She's a smart girl and had been good up till then, it just sort of happened. I really liked Waterson's performance in this, she's playing about a decade younger then she was at the time and really sells it; her gradual transformation until discovering she has become kind of a monster, well its impressive. A cross between comic caper film, character driven drama and a prurient explotation film, it gets dark and that is what redeems it from being merely naughty. John Leguizamo is good as the inital client. **1/2
