It was directed by Wade Allain-Marcus, written by Chuck Hayward and stars Simone Joy Jones, Ms. Pat, Jermaine Fowler, June Squibb, and Nicole Richie while Joanna Cassidy, Keith Coogan, and Danielle Harris from the first movie make cameos.

It tells the story of a teenage girl who takes care of her siblings after their strict babysitter dies in her sleep while their mother is away and gets a job at a fashion company to make ends meet.

Tanya, Kenny, Melissa, and Zack Crandall are left with an elderly strict babysitter named Mrs. Sturak when their mother goes on a retreat following a break-down at work.

When Mrs. Sturak dies in her sleep, Tanya is left to take care of the family as she gets a job at a fashion company run by a woman named Rose.

The website's consensus reads: "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead has some fun with the original film's still-sturdy premise, but it's hard not to wonder whether a remake was really necessary.
