The Sitter

Movie: The Sitter

Genre: comedy

Synopsis: This is loosely based on “Adventures in Babysitting”. Noah (Jonah Hill) is in his early 20’s, unemployed and lives with his mother.  As favor for to his mother, he agrees to babysit for a couple.  Their three messed-up children embark on a night long adventure with Noah when he decides to take them along on a trip to the city to meet up with his “girlfriend”.

My two cents: This was much better than I expected.  It definitely earns its “R” rating.  Jonah is basically a good person and as inappropriate as most of the humor is . . . Jonah manages to touch the each of the kids and help them each to make an improvement in their lives.  I really enjoyed it.
