Nearly 25 years after its unceremonious release, the stars and the creative minds behind the dark comedy talk to BuzzFeed News about hating the title, the stars who backed out (like Jennifer Love Hewitt), the franchise that almost was, and the loss of one of their own.
Thats awesome thanks for sharing! What a great insight and look back on this great movie! my favorite part was the end hahaha I would have totally done the same thing "oh my god! you wrote that?!"
“I was at a Christmas party and a big, big producer was introducing me to someone as the guy who wrote Don’t Tell Mom. I was a little bit embarrassed that he wasn’t saying I wrote something where I would be kind of proud,” Landau recalled. “The guy’s reaction was so over-the-top that I thought he was teasing me. ‘Oh my god! You wrote that?!?!’ This crowd formed around me who were just in awe of the fact I wrote that movie, which was, honestly, pretty hilarious. It’s still weird. It’s like somebody put a magic spell on America and they were somehow forced to love this movie.”
Cool article, thanks for posting. How come the director declined to comment? I would've liked to have heard from him since he made Bill & Ted's not long before.
I kind of agree with the actor who played Kenny saying that Christina Appelgate more or less carried that movie. It's true, she was great in it, as was the supporting cast.
Don't Tell Mom is a good movie, always has been. I don't think it's a surprise that it has stayed popular and has a legacy. It's a well made movie with memorable characters and it has a heart and soul thus people should connect to stuff like that. However, the original babysitting movie "Adventures In Babysitting" is better, though!
I am Djour Djilios. could you spell that please? I don't think so. Try it with a "D".
