Trailer Synopsis Cast

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.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Look, it's a bit silly to even bother to sit here and say negative things about this movie. Any sane person remotely in tune with degenerate American "culture" will instantly recognize this as yet another filthy, perverted freak fest, brought to you by the "chosen" Hollywood parasites who have been poisoning America since the late nineteenth century.However, since I was in the mood to intentionally watch some trash, I might as well make a quick comment about it.To say this film was merely obscene would be missing a point. "American Pie" was obscene but at least the characters were human and the relationships were real. In this film, we have a filthy, overweight rat running around with three children while he tries to score drugs. The little girl is truly cringe-inducing, as she sings along to degenerate black ghetto music, curses like a sailor, and acts so whorish and disturbingly mature that it makes you wonder if the "go-getter" parents who even allowed her to take on this job shouldn't be jailed for negligence. Look out for an overdose in her future.The other boy supposedly has psychological problems. But the key to his issues is in a scene in the New York subway, where we glimpse two homosexuals brushing fair locks of hair out of each others' eyes while a typically maladjusted white female "friend" looks on at them in that, "Oh, they're so sweet" kind of manner you've come to expect from homosexual-worshipping American monsters. As the boy gazes on, the fat rat protagonist figures it out. "You don't have issues," he proudly proclaims. "You're just GAY!" And so we are treated to possibly the most twisted moment in film history as a 13-year-old boy comes to terms with his homosexuality while the rat gives him an encouraging pep talk.Only sick American freaks could watch this without vomiting. If there were ever any evidence that this once white, Western nation has been hi-jacked by Ashkenazi parasites, this is it. Welcome to the Weimar Republic, except this time no one will clean up the trash.

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.

Noah Griffith (Jonah Hill) is a college student on suspension. He is coaxed into babysitting the three kids next door. He is unprepared for the wild night ahead of him. He gets called by his girlfriend Marisa (Ari Graynor) and gets entangled with a crazed drug dealer (Sam Rockwell).This is sorta like 'Adventures in Babysitting (1987)' except it's more mean-spirited. Sam Rockwell plays a bad guy that's way too silly. Jonah is way too unlikeable. There just isn't any joy in this movie. The jokes doesn't really work either. There is a couple of good scenes but it is too unlikeable.

I was so ready for this movie to be a hilarious hit, considering I am a big fan of Jonah Hill...but I was let down in the worst way. Once again my expectations have gotten the better of me, and I believed the trailers. This movie was boring, unfunny, and unmemorable. I really don't even remember most of it because I was so eager for it to end halfway through I just stopped paying attention. The only somewhat funny and memorable part of the movie was when the little girl thing starts singing Hoochie Mama...and the part that you see in the trailers where she says she sharded. Thats about as good as it gets, folks. Try to forget this movie was ever made.
