Thanks for the memories!

Really Surprised!

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

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

Silly. Had some great and funny lines, mostly by Jonah Hill, but these were few and far between. Most of the movie involves lurching anarchically from one stupid and overly contrived situation to another. Add in two of the most irritating kid-characters in the history of film and you have a recipe for extreme irritation.Not at all original. It's all been done before, and better. Very formulaic.Jonah Hill does the best he can with the lame script. His and Sam Rockwell's performances are the only highlights of the movie.Not a total miss, but there are plenty of better ways to spend 80 or so minutes of your time.

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

(Plot) A lazy college student that is serving a suspension is cajoled into being a babysitter for the kids next door. What he doesn't realize is that he is getting much more than he bargained for than just a few measly bucks…With these types of comedies, it's not hard to tell what you're getting. They go out of their way to cross the line to make people laugh, and usually I find that lazy, but I can't help but admit that I managed to have a decent time with this one. Most of the kids are whiny and unlikable, it goes for the kitchen sink in terms of being rancid, but I couldn't help but laugh at it. Maybe it was just the mood I was in, but I had some fun. Jonah Hill is his usual dependable self. His lazy character is detestable and I absolutely loved it. Kevin Hernandez is by far the best of the bunch of the kids as Rodrigo. He steals the show as the malevolent kid. I got a kick out of him. And, of course, we get the ever reliable Sam Rockwell. Final Thoughts: It's not great, but what do you really expect when it comes to this film? Turn your brain off, and have a few laughs! 6/10
