"Nicole Richie's 'Don't Tell Mom' Inspiration and a 12-Year-Old Actor's Big Debut"

The 1991 cult comedy "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead" is being remade with a Black cast, but critics question the need for a remake and the cultural relevance of the story for Black characters. The new film, directed by "Insecure" star Wade Allain-Marcus, features a talented cast but fails to justify its existence, mainly recreating the original's catchphrases and scenes without addressing plotlines that would affect its Black characters differently. The remake also raises questions about the strategy of BET+ and its efforts to attract more Black audiences.
