^ Thanks for this! Even though I own the film, this will still come in handy!

I watched a little bit of this via the YouTube link I found. I keep laughing at how the music goes "ooooooh....let's get busy!" whenever Cokie shows up and hangs on Logan.
I always felt like the girls in the TV series were better representations of the characters, but I do think that Marla Sokoloff made a decent Cokie. Too bad Cokie never showed up in the TV series and we got stuck with Marci instead. They should have just called her Cokie, because that's basically who she was!

I saw this movie when I was in the fifth grade. My mom rented it for my sister and I when she was having a tupperware party. I didn't get into the series until a year later when I found some of the Baby-Sitters Club books in my classroom. We used to have free reading time if we got our work done early, or if it was an indoor recess and I started reading Jessi's Baby-Sitter. That was the very first book I ever read in the series. And I never made the connection after I started reading the Baby-Sitters Club books, and I had loved the movie. I watched it a few time before my mom returned it to the movie store. It wasn't until I saw the movie again in the eighth grade and I was thinking "Oh yeah, I can't believe I never realized that before!" I kind of wish I would have read the books before I saw the movie, or that I would have remembered the movie when I got into the series.
About the inconsistency about Mal and Jessi being the club before Kristy turned 13, remember, they do start grade 6 and grade 8 over a few times. Every time there is a new school year when they restart Jessi and Mal shouldn't be there. So I don't find it too odd that they did it with this movie. Logan shouldn't have been dating Mary-Anne either considering they didn't meet until the beginning of the school year.

If she turns 14, everything would make sense but of course it's BSC and trying to figure out timelines is only good for giving yourself a migraine.

I think they said Kristy was turning 13 in the movie, and it used to bother me. Then I just stopped trying to figure out a timeline and enjoyed the movie.

She tells Kristy that she's almost 13 and she doesn't need a chauffeur when Kristy asks her to go with her when she goes camping with her dad. Anyway, I was just adding that to part to previous posts. I read the whole thread before I commented.

I was a baby when this movie came out. Literally, it came out the year I was born. I have some problems with it, but the Nostalgia Chick's review of it had more problems than I did. She mentioned long-lasting looks between Claudia and Kristy, the fact that Kristy's dad seemed a bit...perverted, and talked about how many subplots there were. My problem with the movie was that it just felt really dated. I loved Larisa Oleynik in "10 Things I Hate About You", but as Dawn, she just didn't feel like she had much to do. And they could've done a lot more with clients from the books. Like Kristy's Krushers seems to have been reduced to one kid - Jackie. Who's one of the only clients that isn't downplayed - why does he get so much focus anyway? And where are all the other clients? I mean, who's that kid with an imaginary friend? It says on Wikipedia that Becca Ramsey is in the movie, but I didn't see her. Come to think of it, where were Mallory's siblings too? Apart from Suzi's shaving scene, I didn't recognize any of the other kids. The Nostalgia Chick implied that the lack of Jessi in the movie was racist, but I think there was a lack of Mallory, too. So it's not racist..no, it's ageist! Couldn't they stick Shannon into the movie somehow? I know they don't really need her, but they have Logan in there. Do they really need the whole Mary Anne/Logan thing so they can make Cokie be a b*tch for the whole movie? They already have a villain in Mrs Haberman, so do they really need Cokie? Then if they didn't need that subplot, they could've made time to put Shannon in. But that's a nitpick. I'd rather they have more than ONE Krusher Kristy lets down than Shannon. The lack of memorable kids was what really broke this movie.

I do think that Marla Sokoloff made a decent Cokie. I also really liked her as Cokie and she sort of became how I visualized the character in my mind.

I just found this movie yesterday at a thrift store! Now I finally own it. When I got home, I was disappointed to realize it was fullscreen. :\ Or did they not even release a DVD version in the true aspect ratio? I watched a part of it today and the acting is worse than I expected. Seriously, how did Rachael Leigh Cook become a popular teen actress?!? Still, I'm happy to have it on DVD.

I really liked R.L.C. growing up, but that could have also been because she played Mary Anne. While I'm not advocating that she's the best actress, I always thought that she was trying to act more quiet and serious to mimic the character and she did a decent job at it. I think Claudia needed some acting help, in both the movie and TV show.

Larisa Oleynik and Schuyler Fisk don't physically resemble Dawn or Kristy at all, IMO.

Did anyone else think Mary Anne came off kinda cold and mean in the movie? If I had never read the books, I definitely would not have guessed that she was the sensitive and caring one.
And what was up with Dawn and Mary Anne's patriotic decor???
