The Sitter Movie Review

The Sitter is a film starring the late, great fat version of Jonah Hill as Noah, a  guy who has gone absolutely nowhere in life. Noah is a guy who sits on the couch all day and makes his mom, the only person who treats him right, do everything for him. One night, his mom needs to go out, but his mom's friend's babysitter cancelled last minute, which forces Noah to be the replacement. Thus begins a serious of wacky adventures and misunderstandings as Noah desperately tries to get to a party to see his girlfriend. Now, I feel like I may be in the minority here, but I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of The Sitter. It's a film that will ultimately be off putting to a lot of people, but I found it both hilarious and very touching. Very touching, you may ask? Just take a scene in which Jonah Hill talks to one of the kids about something potentially in very poor taste. I'm not saying anything else about that scene because it will give away a pretty major plot point. However, the potentially tasteless thing they're talking about actually turns into a sweet conversation. The Sitter should not have been as good as it is, with its recycled plot and potentially mean spirited lines, but Jonah Hill and the kid actors deliver their lines perfectly, and make it a very funny and touching film.
