tween girls friendships
3 November 2016
Kristy Thomas (Schuyler Fisk) is the founding member of The Baby-Sitters Club with her six friends. Stacey McGill (Bre Blair) is a former NYC girl who falls for older boy Luca and has medical issues. Mary Anne Spier (Rachael Leigh Cook) is the quiet best friend. Dawn Schafer (Larisa Oleynik) is a Californian environmentalist. Claudia Kishi (Tricia Joe) is handy. Mallory Pike (Stacy Linn Ramsower) is the writer. Jessi Ramsey (Zelda Harris) is a dancer. With their busy summer babysitting season coming, Kristy decides to keep everybody together by opening a backyard summer camp. The girls face family issues, boy issues, summer school, and an annoyed neighbor about the ruckus.

This is a fine tween girls film with a few notable young actresses. Their relationships are appealing although there is too much personal drama going on. It's a bit overstuffed. It should have stayed only with the summer camp more than the personal melodrama. This is good for little girls but unlikely to work outside of its intended target audience.
