The Sitter

This movie was so good. Too bad it wasn't G or PG for kids. That probably would have increased the hype of it. Normally, parents would hire sitters who have experience with child care. And how much did Noah have? None. It's like Adam Sandler as Sonny in big daddy. He did manage to keep the kids all together. But bring the kids to a bar?? Lol. Uh, that's R rated lol. He sure did have badass parenting skills. He's a sitter like no other. He was man enough to keep the kids away from the drugs. But letting them socialize and hang with prostitutes and drug dealers is going too far lol. He would have an interesting babysitting service. That's for sure lol

An okay movie about a night turning bad for an usual sitter and the three kids he's watching. There's vibes of Adventures in Babysitting, but the execution is not as good.

Sam Rockwell, Jonah Hill, Ari Graynor, J B Smoove & Max Records. A "dream Cast" trapped in a nightmare of a film. All of them doomed by one of the worst scripts ever written. What was everyone thinking when they signed on to make this film?

This movie was so bad, that halfway through we had to stop. Instead we watched "Bloody pit of horror", which was much better. Bad, uninteresting, unoriginal, poorly acted, poorly thought out and simply not funny wanna-be shock comedy run through this unwatchable flop.

I love Jonah Hill and think he did a great job in The Sitter as well. I didn't have any expectations except that it would be funny. It was definitely funny. Jonah is adorable and all the other characters played their parts well. The story line was pretty crazy and the chaos stayed pretty heavy throughout the movie. There were several parts that definitely were un-realistic, but I guess a lot of the best comedies are this way. The not-so-great part of the movie was toward the end. It is one of those movies that seems like they ran out of material and just started throwing stuff together. Overall, though, it was very well done and I would say rent it!

First of its not a kids movie, second it won't be something you haven't seen before.The plot if summarized has the protagonist - a loser with a good intentions and conscience - manipulated by a girl embark on an unreasonable venture while babysitting three kids.Undoubtedly we have a catastrophic night of inescapable circumstances and preternatural kids to add to the chaos. In the end miraculously all problems are solved and each character embrace their shortcomings and make amends. Now on positive side the character of kids - the little girl as spoilt teenager, rebellious adopted Mexican boy and the kid with anxiety issue were interestingly sketched and enjoyable. Jonah Hill who has come a long way from "accepted","superbad" and recently "money ball" is commendable as outspoken, uncertain and definitely not a babysitter. All said its a one time watch and although not hysterical you will definitely have a grin all along.

I didn't expect much from this film. The plot looked thin and predictable. But it was passable in most respects. A lot of it is to do with Jonah Hill who is quite talented and genuinely funny in these sort of roles. He makes it look easy and quite believable. The adventures he and the 3 kids go on is quite amusing and funny. There are also a few deeper moments where the film actually goes further and targets issues the kids are facing. I don't think this film would have landed better with a different actor. Jonah helps carry this simple and limited film.

I liked this movie quite a bit more than the average comedy. It's not that I'm a fan of Jonah Hill, I just think the writing and performances were good enough to keep the right tone all the way through. I am a big fan of Sam Rockwell, and this is one of his nuttiest performances. It does follow the "Adventures in Babysitting" template of taking kids on a late night adventure, but I thought it did so with a fresh enough approach that it stands on its own.

David Gordon Green's 'The Sitter' is Funny! Its got the humor & Jonah Hill is once again pitch-perfect in a comedic role. 'The Sitter' Synopsis: A college student on suspension is coaxed into babysitting the kids next door, though he is fully unprepared for the wild night ahead of him. 'The Sitter' offers laughs, even in the most outrageous situations. Its surely crass & rude, but I can't deny the fact, that I did enjoy myself. Brian Gatewood & Alessandro Tanaka's Screenplay is offensive, but funny nevertheless. David Gordon Green's is satisfactory. Jonah Hill is in form, once again. I really like Jonah at what he does. His attitude & uninhibited behavior sparkles on screen. Also memorable is Sam Rockwell, who's turn as the baddie deserves a heads-up. On the whole, 'The Sitter' made me laugh.
