The Sitter Trailers

Noah, is not your typical entertain-the-kids-no-matter-how-boring-it-is kind of sitter. He's reluctant to take a sitting gig; he'd rather, well, be doing anything else, especially if it involves slacking. When Noah is watching the neighbor's kid he gets a booty call from his girlfriend in the city. To hook up with her, Noah takes to the streets, but his urban adventure spins out of control as he finds himself on the run from a maniacal drug lord.

adonis98-743-186503 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 is the exact same comedy that you would expect to see by now. It has drugs, boob shots, very bad humor, terrible perfomances and of course drinking. Jonah Hill is definitely better than this and what the hell was Sam Rockwell doing in here? I mean common you're better than this man. If you love cheesy comedies with lot's of R-Rated jokes and full of sex jokes? You might like this, if not? Stay away. (F)
Alan Smithee Esq. The humor can be lewd and crude but the characters are soo eccentric that it's a comedic goldmine. Jonah Hill plays the titular sitter but he is actually one of the weaker points of this film. The kids he's watching and the drug dealer he encounters steal the show. Very very funny. Often compared to the '80's "Adventure's in Babysitting" movie.
Ana C. P. Cruz I describe this movie as funny enough. We know that the plot don't show nothing new. The fact that the flick display drugs and drug dealer's problems kind of adventures, make the story predictable. But the genius of Jonah Hill and his chemistry with the children make the film tolerable. Besides, in my opinion, a disastrous beginning, the story take form and the growth, development and improvement of the child characters increase the interest in the plot. The quality of the acting by the children was a surprise for me. They reveal serious talent for comedy, and the funniest scenes were protagonized by them. But the stereotype of the black community that speaks with that type of accent, the rich doctor father that have a beautiful wife and kids, but don't respect them entirely, already was so scripted and viewed. Over all was a laid back, funny, positive, not a memorial kind of comedy. But Jonah Hill is more and more considered in Hollywood also thanks to this light comedy films, that don't disappoints the audience or put a bad label on an actor's career.
Yesh4 Contrived? Oh yes. Predictable? Very. Outrageously fun with a good heart to the characters? YESBefore watching it I saw that 99% of critics( and viewers by the looks of it) hated this movie with a passion. They complained it was "predictable" and "unfunny". Well, so what if it was predictable? Most movies are, answer me this how many movies have you seen where you were genuinely surprised at the ending. So naturally, my expectations were lowered. But I thought the acting by the children was really good and Jonah Hill was as funny as usual. Also, it dealt with a prevalent issue in many kids' lives, coming out as gay. It dealt with this in a respectful and not overly-sentimental way.Basically this movie is not trying to bag an Oscar and it is not high- art melodrama stuff and it's not even close to being one of my favourite films. So watch it if you like a good,rowdy comedy.
