    A classic 80s TV film that NEEDS a DVD release
    Baby sister is a awesome 80s teen film that was aired by ABC back in 1983 and it has it all good scenery good romance a good story and also phoebe cates and you can't go wrong with her so basically this is a love triangle that accidentally forms and makes a lot of interesting situations and also the pace is pretty fast after the opening credits and keeps you on the edge of your seat.... and over all I recommend this scene BUT there isn't a proper physical or digital release of this movie and a lot of people don't know about it and they could really enjoy it but anyway I say watch it and also thank you for listening to my opinion......
