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.

Sorry, this movie sucks

Best movie ever!

Gutsycurene

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

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)

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.

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.

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
