Synopsis

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.

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.
galaxychoco This movie starts off pretty funny but after about 20/25 minutes into the movie its not funny anymore and it just gets very predictable. Basically the short version is the babysitter gets a call form his so called girlfriend telling him to get drugs he gets drugs but one of the kids steals from the dealer and now the dealer is chasing him. It gets a few laughs to start with but then gets boring and unwatchable. I wouldn't recommend this movie to most people but if you want to watch a predictable boring movie then this is the movie for you. Also throughout the movie the storyline seems to change going from whats happening to whats happening with the babysitters and the kids to the girlfriend to the kids parents to the babysitters mom. I give this movie a 3 out of 10
apb216 I was so ready for this movie to be a hilarious hit, considering I am a big fan of Jonah Hill...but I was let down in the worst way. Once again my expectations have gotten the better of me, and I believed the trailers. This movie was boring, unfunny, and unmemorable. I really don't even remember most of it because I was so eager for it to end halfway through I just stopped paying attention. The only somewhat funny and memorable part of the movie was when the little girl thing starts singing Hoochie Mama...and the part that you see in the trailers where she says she sharded. Thats about as good as it gets, folks. Try to forget this movie was ever made.
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.
