	Author	Review
United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	"An unacknowledged remake of “Adventures in Babysitting” with the raunch dial turned up to max. It's smart, funny, agreeably perverse and simultaneously abrupt and exhausting (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Despite Mr. Hill, his three young co-stars and flashes of Looney Tunes-style anarchy (...) much of this is as unfunny as it sounds"	NEU
