Never was a baby-sitter like this!

Comedy

Tacey and Harry King are a suburban couple with three sons and a serious need of a babysitter. Tacey puts an ad in the paper for a live-in babysitter, and the ad is answered by Lynn Belvedere. But when she arrives, she turns out to be a man. And not just any man, but a most eccentric, outrageously forthright genius with seemingly a million careers and experiences behind him.

VIBE

A delightful, old-fashioned comedy of manners. Expect sharp dialogue, charming performances, and a premise that playfully upends expectations. It’s a feel-good romp perfect for a relaxed afternoon.
