The Sitter looks like a really funny movie. The three children look to be about middle school age and you never know what is going to come out of the mouth of a middle school kid. Definitely leave the kids at home when you go to watch this movie. It has references to sex and a lot of foul language. But, be ready to laugh because the trailor is enough to start you laughing real well. If you are a parent, you will enjoy this movie, and if you have ever had to babysit middle school kids then you will enjoy the humor. Jonah Hill plays the typical relative bum that every one has somewhere in their family or extended family. He will take about any job he thinks will be easy and give him some quick cash. Of course, he is hot on the girls, so he needs a little cash in his pocket from time to time. Out to make a quick buck, “Noah,” sets out to babysit and learn a life’s lesson about children at the same time. Noah is at home with the children, he is in a minivan with the children and he is in public with the children. Noah tends to drive very bad with the children in the car. The whole group has an encounter with drug dealers and car crashes. Be sure to make time this December for a funny movie. This movie looks like a great way to ease the stress of the holidays.

 

Surely I’m not the only one who watches this and thinks “Adventures In Babysitting”? Actually it’s like “Adventures In Babysitting” meets “Are We There Yet?” meets the Wayans Brothers. Seriously, who comes up with this stuff? I have nothing against fart jokes and some sarcasm. Actually I love sarcastic comments in a movie. But this movie looks so predictable. How much do you wanna bet Jonah Hill’s character will come to really like the kids and they will like him and they’ll be like a family. Let’s all say “Awwww”. Actually what I choose to say is “Awwwww, seen it before. Save it for someone who hasn’t seen better movies like this.” Okay, let’s also go with Jonah Hill. Who thinks the boy can act? Umm, not me. He plays the same character over and over again. He has like no appeal. It’s like he’s trying to be Chris Farley but with maybe 1/4 of the talent. Will this movie be a hit? I think it will have a pretty good opening weekend but will crash in the 2nd weekend. I would recommend either watching this when it comes to dvd and blu-ray or when it’s on the movie channels. Some people might like it but if you really want to see a good movie about a babysitter and the kids they are in charge of have a night where everything goes wrong, stick with “Adventures In Babysitting”.
Well at first I just think that this movie is kind of a retarded babysitting movie I have seen a lot in my life. The baby sitting movies I seen were just some kind of boring they were not fun at all. I always whisper to myself “I want my money back” all time I been in the theater showing that kind of the movie. I totally hate it. Kids are annoying and the plot is boring and predictable. I want to see something new. But hey, this movie is does not as my first thought, the plot is more enjoyable. The plot is mixing between babysitting and prom movie. Well I saw other kind of mixing before like spy and babysitting, assassin and babysitting. But this mix would make it more smooth and believable. How do you getting a girl while babysitting? Thinking about this is just fun. This movie is featuring good casts. Jonah Hill, the lead actor did save the movie from disasters. I know him from his voice acting work like Megamind, How to train your dragon and of course the Simpsons. The supporting actors are interesting also. Main supporting actors are from TV series, which make them new to movie watcher outside US. And it is good time to introduce them to the world. Erin Daniels did appear in many series including the famous CSI. Dreama Walker is cute, sexy and generally makes this movie more appearing to men. I want to see more of her movie. Yeah, I am sure this movie is not targeting girls. I am waiting to see this movie.
