Very Cool!!!

good back-story, and good acting

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

The Sitter (2011): Dir: David Gordon Green / Cast: Jonah Hill, Max Records, Ari Graynor, Sam Rockwell, J.B. Smoove: This is not the year for David Gordon Green. First he directed the misfire fantasy fart fest Your Highness. Now he is stuck with his second embarrassing failure. This is a vulgar comedy about responsibility as Jonah Hill is stuck babysitting three brats. These kids are beyond real. One needs more pills for anxiety than viewers may require for watching this sh*t. The girl wears more makeup than a drag queen and uses language best reserved for traffic jams. The third is an adopted Mexican kid who blows up toilets with cherry bombs. We are suppose to laugh at the so-called cuteness and accept the lame resolution where understanding is met even after an evening of chaos. Hill survives the material because perhaps we can understand his anguish. The children are a pitiful unsympathetic bunch that come across as a kick to the crotch to sensible parenting. Ari Graynor plays the sleazy tramp whom Hill wants to lay and will stoop to going on a drug quest with the kids in the car just to impress. Sam Rockwell was brilliant in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. How unfortunate that he get reduced to playing a flamboyant drug dealer who stores drugs in dinosaur egg containers. Green will always have The Pineapple Express as a positive film on his resume, but that doesn't make up for the two piles of sh*t he makes for 2011. While locations are about as ambitious as this junk gets, its message is lost within its disgusting sense of comedy. It is a film that should sit in a trash bin. Score: 2 ½ / 10

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.

I thought I was going to like this movie more than I did, but honestly, it was kind of a waste of an hour and a half. It's focused so much on drugs that it's disgusting. I know that's kind of what it's about, but I find that really stupid. Plus, the characters were just too unusual. No little girl swears that much, and where the hell did Rodrigo get all those cherry bombs? Plus the ending is a little pointless and cliché. I mean I'm all for a romantic cliché ending honestly, but it wasn't worth watching the rest of the movie to see that.If you want my advice, don't waste your money or time on this movie. There are much better movies out there you can watch that are the same amount of time. Find one of those instead. The Sitter was just not worth it.

26 years ago, there was a wonderful movie called Adventures In Babysitting. It starred a very young and beautiful Elizabeth Shue as she babysat three children, a nerdy teenager and his Thor-obsessed little sister, with their ginger Playboy reading best friend. She had to leave the house to help her stuck-in-the-middle-of-nowhere mate with the kids in tow. Along the way, they got into some scrapes involving car thieves, nightclub patrons and gang-bangers, while learning that despite their differences and age disparities, through working together, they could achieve anything. Of course it was a lot of fun too, with scenes and stretches of dialogue that will live long in the memory. A true 80's classic.In the present day, there is a terrible movie called The Sitter. It stars a very overweight and irritating Jonah Hill as he babysits three children: a gay teenager and his celebrity-obsessed little sister, with their borderline psychotic adopted brother. He has to leave the house to help his needs-drugs-to-get-high-at-a-party girlfriend with the kids in tow. Along the way, they get into some scrapes involving homosexual gangsters, black stereotypes and street-fighters, while learning that despite stealing money, drugs and blowing up toilets, through working together, they could achieve anything. Of course, it is a load of rubbish too, with scenes and stretches of dialogue that will live long in the memory (for all the wrong reasons). Truly, one of the worst films I've seen this year.Progress, huh? Who needs it? 2/10
