Details

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.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Syl Jonah Hill stars as Noah Griffith, an unlikely babysitter. Think of Adventures in Babysitting with a twist. Jonah Hill plays a suburban babysitter to three troubled youths. Slater is a troubled young boy with a secret which is obvious. Blithe acts like a young pageant contestant. Then there is the adopted son, Rodrigo, who enjoys explosions. They end up on an likely adventure in New York City particularly Brooklyn, New York. The film was shot on location. I have to say that Jonah Hill does a decent job in his performance. It has some laughs.
namikazedante Yeah underrated has hell if you look at the scores. It's definitely a movie that will keep you entertained through out the entire movie. Many twists and turns in the settings and how the characters grow. Sure it's just a random comedy movie but it's a good one and it needs to be seen and to be rated higher. It's better than most crap that comes out these days. It has some big laughs and yeah what more is there to say than that if you have heard of this movie. Just see it. You will laugh and be entertained. And it has a good message too not a deep message in some sense but a good one so yep see it NOW !
Rich Wright 26 years ago, there was a wonderful movie called Adventures In Babysitting. It starred a very young and beautiful Elizabeth Shue as she babysat three children, a nerdy teenager and his Thor-obsessed little sister, with their ginger Playboy reading best friend. She had to leave the house to help her stuck-in-the-middle-of-nowhere mate with the kids in tow. Along the way, they got into some scrapes involving car thieves, nightclub patrons and gang-bangers, while learning that despite their differences and age disparities, through working together, they could achieve anything. Of course it was a lot of fun too, with scenes and stretches of dialogue that will live long in the memory. A true 80's classic.In the present day, there is a terrible movie called The Sitter. It stars a very overweight and irritating Jonah Hill as he babysits three children: a gay teenager and his celebrity-obsessed little sister, with their borderline psychotic adopted brother. He has to leave the house to help his needs-drugs-to-get-high-at-a-party girlfriend with the kids in tow. Along the way, they get into some scrapes involving homosexual gangsters, black stereotypes and street-fighters, while learning that despite stealing money, drugs and blowing up toilets, through working together, they could achieve anything. Of course, it is a load of rubbish too, with scenes and stretches of dialogue that will live long in the memory (for all the wrong reasons). Truly, one of the worst films I've seen this year.Progress, huh? Who needs it? 2/10
galaxychoco This movie starts off pretty funny but after about 20/25 minutes into the movie its not funny anymore and it just gets very predictable. Basically the short version is the babysitter gets a call form his so called girlfriend telling him to get drugs he gets drugs but one of the kids steals from the dealer and now the dealer is chasing him. It gets a few laughs to start with but then gets boring and unwatchable. I wouldn't recommend this movie to most people but if you want to watch a predictable boring movie then this is the movie for you. Also throughout the movie the storyline seems to change going from whats happening to whats happening with the babysitters and the kids to the girlfriend to the kids parents to the babysitters mom. I give this movie a 3 out of 10
