Review of Baby Sister

Baby Sister (1983 TV Movie)
6/10
Battling sisters
27 February 2005
Warning: Spoilers
SPOILERS: This movie is a dream for any Phoebe Cates fan out there. It's a pretty obscure movie that I had the privilege of viewing on TV. Phoebe plays Annie the baby sister(hence the title) of Marcia played by Pamela Bellwood.

This movie could have been called "tale of two battling sisters" because that's what it is. Oh there's other things going on and some surprisingly serious moments for such an 80's glitsfest but despite it all, this really is a showcase for the beauty of Phoebe Cates who plays the wild baby sister who winds up ruining Annie's life.

Two things about this movie-it's not as bad as it sounds and also what's funny is Bellwood is completely miscast, she's supposed to be the older serious sister, overshadowed by the sexpot Phoebe but Bellwood, is as beautiful as Cates and so it's a bit tough to buy. I happen to like both actresses and this is a decent movie of the week fare so if one's preference runs to 80's TV movies, battling sisters and a man stealing Phoebe Cates, this is most definitely the movie for you.
