Michael Ledo The movie starts out as a bad sex comedy. Jonah Hill stars as Noah Griffith, a slightly nerdy, obese young adult who peddles a bicycle. In the opening scene he is performing oral services for a pretty blond girl (Ari Graynor) who believes fat guys do it best, however she won't return the favor as she claims she has a touch of food poisoning. She is a coke slut loved by Noah.Mom (Jessica Hecht) coerces Noah into babysitting for the neighbor (Erin Daniels). The kids are a 13 year old boy with responsibility issues, an eight year old girl going on 16, and an adopted kid from El Salvador who acts like he is part of a cartel. Noah is irresponsible as this turns into an "Adventures in Babysitting" adult comedy as he attempts to score some cocaine for his "girlfriend" who has promised him real sex in return.As I watched the movie for the first time, I had the feeling I have seen this before. Predictable, trite, and mostly unfunny. A "me-too" comedy. A lower tier rental at best. Go watch Harold and Kumar instead.F-bomb, sex talk, no nudity

Little_Tyke I just was blown away by it, and especially by the main character's performance, which had such perfect timing, I laughed spontaneously at several points throughout the movie. I rarely laugh out loud ever, not usually seeing anything funny in what other people find funny. Maybe it's the way I'm wired, but this movie was way better than a lot of movies I've seen recently.The actors who played the kids were brilliant, too.*** Possible spoilers ahead. *** Shame that the movie ended rather abruptly. I'd have liked to see the reaction of the parents after returning home and being confronted with three changed children, and changed for the better. Also, I believe the director missed a trick with the attractive mother of said children. When she opened the door near the beginning of the movie, Noah couldn't keep his eyes off her breasts, and if she had later been shown happy and contented with Noah's stint as baby-sitter, and his triumph in having converted her kids into human beings, maybe she might have had a few minutes to attend to Noah's needs. Just sayin'! Also, it would have been fun to see the reaction on the father's face when the red car was inspected in daylight the next day.

Bestie563 Despite being a comedy movie with a lot of chaos as practically everything goes wrong when Noah Griffith takes the kids he's babysitting on a road trip to get some drugs for his 'girlfriend' this movie shows a lot of character growth and has a very good 'moral' behind it.For instance, Noah tells Slater of how he has realised that Slater doesn't have any big problems and that he is actually gay. Noah helps Slater a lot in his acceptance of his sexuality by telling him how in college no one will care and how it is perfectly okay to be gay. Also Noah realises that his hot girlfriend is just using him and doesn't have any actual feelings for him and ditches her for a nicer girl from his old astronomy class who admits to have been too shy to talk to him at school. Finally Slater confronts Rodrigo about how scary he can be which helps Rodrigo to open up more to his new family meaning they can all get along better.So no this movie is not as bad as people are making it out to be, it is actually a very funny movie with a very good ending.

g-bodyl I think The Sitter has a good premise and all but I really didn't laugh much. I had a few forced laughs and maybe one real laugh. Also, this movie seemed to take itself too seriously. This is supposed to be a comedy, but there are some serious scenes that do not belong. Also, this movie goes by the formula. It would be nice if we see something different, but unfortunately we don't. All this being said, there are still good moments such as Jonah Hill, the short running-time, and an amusing Sam Rockwell.David Gordon Green's film is about one lazy guy named Noah who has been forced to babysit three kids. It turns out his night of babysitting will turn out to be a greater adventure than he thought of.The acting is okay. Jonah Hill is one of the better young actors these days and he does a good job with the material he was given. The three kids were decent and not as annoying as other child actors these days. I really liked the amusing turn by Sam Rockwell. He definitely had the best scenes in the movie as the guy who's after Noah.Overall, this is an amusing, but easily forgettable and not-really-funny movie. I wish that this film would have been like Pineapple Express. That would have made this movie funnier. I guess this movie is an end-of-the-year comedy that's out there for people tired of action or award movies. It wasn't great but it's not terrible. I rate this film 6/10.
