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)

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

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!

Let's start with the good news, there is a good performance in "The Sitter" That of Roxanne ( Kylie Bunbury). Bad news: That is it. First off this movie IS a raunchy, offensive, predictable movie, complete with every character from the gay kid with identity issues, to fat the kid, to the violent Hispanic to the streetwise Black people, all of which you expect to see in a bad movie with no thought behind it. It might be the worst remake I have ever seen ( In this case, "Adventures In a Babysitting") and as someone who has seen that movie multiple times I would know. It goes without saying that a bit fat slob like Jonah Hill ( Noah Griffith) is not hot like Elisabeth Shue ( Chris Parker), but the kids are inferior ( particularly comparing Sara ( Maia Brewton)), to nasty Kardashian like Sister Blithe Padilla ( Landry Bender), who is essentially a Bratz Doll. Her gay brother was even more obnoxious ( these kids should be watched by Dr. Phil not a babysitter). Where else can I go? You can spot each and every scene where the film steals a shot from "Adventures In Babysitting" like where Roxanne returns the electronic piece to Blithe ( just like what was done with Sara's skate in "Adventures In a Babysitting."). By the way you can spot about 20 such scenes. Particularly bad is how the butchered the "Babysitting Blues" scene. Another thing they did was basically combine Brenda ( Penelope Ann Miller), with Chris's arrogant cheating b/f ( the one who Daryl ( Anthony Rapp), gave a swift kick to in the restaurant), and created Marissa ( Ari Graynor), who seemed like she is stoned throughout the entire movie. Spoiler Ahead: Jonah does end up with Roxanne in the end, like Chris does with the college student who returned the skate in "Adventures In Babysitting" but why I have no idea? He is pathetic and crude and she is classy and intelligent. Basically I give 1/2 star for Roxanne and that is being generous.
