4.0 out of 5 stars Three-and-a-half stars for this sleeper April 20, 2012
By amerdale876
Format:DVD
Despite the majority of critics panning this film, I had to check this movie out -- especially after seeing that hilarious trailer ("Don't *@$# with me, Rodrigo."). And I was surprised by it. I thought it was fun and had more funny parts than most critics let on. Of course, this is a very perverse version of Adventures in Babysitting, and it's not as wholesome as that 1980s classic. But, despite its foul language and very adult situations, "The Sitter" has more heart than one would think -- with Jonah Hill dealing with the three kids he's been tasked to watch over. If you have a night where you're feeling like laughs, this one may surprise you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Movie February 18, 2013
By Laura McEwan
Format:Amazon Instant Video|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is actually my all-time favorite movie, next to 'Insidious'. I find it hilarious, and anyone who doesn't is a moron with no sense of humor.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOAH IS A HOT NAME December 26, 2011
By Michael TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
The movie starts out as a bad sex comedy. Jonah Hill stars as Noah Griffith, a slightly nerdy, obese young adult who peddles a bicycle. In the opening scene he is performing oral services for a pretty blond girl (Ari Graynor) who believes fat guys do it best, however she won't return the favor as she claims she has a touch of food poisoning. She is a coke slut loved by Noah.

Mom (Jessica Hecht) coerces Noah into babysitting for the neighbor (Erin Daniels). The kids are a 13 year old boy with responsibility issues, an eight year old girl going on 16, and an adopted kid from El Salvador who acts like he is part of a cartel. Noah is irresponsible as this turns into an "Adventures in Babysitting" adult comedy as he attempts to score some cocaine for his "girlfriend" who has promised him real sex in return.

As I watched the movie for the first time, I had the feeling I have seen this before. Predictable, trite, and mostly unfunny. A "me-too" comedy. A lower tier rental at best. Go watch Harold and Kumar instead.

F-bomb, sex talk, no nudity

3.0 out of 5 stars I like Jonah Hill
This is a good movie. Much like any of Jonah Hill's other movies, he is a dork, but goes through the entire movie doing stunts that make me laugh. Read more
