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.

A rating of 1 out of 10 and even this is too generousHow so called "Comedy" movies like this ever make it through and get a "green light" for production will forever astound me. Some producers must have huge egos and even bigger bank rolls. I can only surmise that a deal was struck between the producer and Jonah Hill, (or with the director) that they had a total free hand to put on the silver screen whatever their warped minds thought would be funny, or that would shock their audience.Well surprise to the audience and the producer. This was a total failure on all fronts. If I was Jonah Hill I would not expect to be receiving many phone calls from any prominent producers or directors in the near future. But again to my amazement we see that Jonah Hill is up for an Academy Award for a Best Supporting Actor award for the feature film The Wolf of Wall Street. Go figure?But take my advice The Sitter is a total waste of time and minus any sense of drawing laughter or any memorable moments. The shock and awe opens up the film with a disgusting scene and the film continues to stink from the opening scene to the end of the film. I am sure no one was more disappointed than the script writer who must have envisioned a different film from the onset than the finished product the director and/or editor created.If I attempt to compare The Sitter to a film such as Robin Williams' 1993 film Mrs. Doubtfire, the pretense of a Babysitter themed film assisting young and confused children find their way through troubled times may be a comparison one could make, but the end product of these two films are like comparing night to day. There were so many good scenes in Mrs Doubtfire and so many bad scenes in the Sitter. Don't waste any time seeing The Sitter, it is just that bad.A rating of 1 out of 10 and even this is too generous!

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.

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.
