“Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead” (*1/2 out of four) was a needless remake of the 1991 “classic” which let’s be honest wasn’t that great to begin with; once again, a young woman (Simone Joy Jones) is put in charge of raising her family when the babysitter (June Squibb) is found dead and she is thrust into the world of office corporate politics. Much like the original, the film’s main bright spot is the lead performance from Joy Jones but the rest is pretty desperate and dumb. Original “Babysitter” club members Danielle Harris and Keith Coogan have cameos but they should taken heed to the word “don’t” in film’s title.
