THE MOVIE: THE CRITIC'S TAKE
The sitter AKA Adventures In Babysitting, the guy version. That's what I first thought when I saw the trailer. The trailer looked promising and funny. Jonah Hill is a funny guy all around so I knew I was going to be entertained. This movie is forgettable but it is a fun ride. I doubt people will remember this but I hope it becomes a cult classic like S*uperbad.
STORY
It begins with Jonah's character getting suspended from college. He returns home to live with his mother. His mom wants him to get his life together but all he wants to do is eat, play video games, and try to get oral sex from his girlfriend. An emergency happens where the neighbors needs a babysitter. They want to introduce his mom to a nice guy and if they aren't there it won't happen. He agrees and soon finds himself babysitting a bunch of monsters.

| I won't get laid |
One wants to be a celeb so bad she dresses like one of the girls from the Jersey Shore, the other is a pint sized gangsta from every latino movie ever made, and the other kid is just well lame. They mess with him throughout until he gets some good news. His girlfriend finally wants to give him some action. He does what every horny man would do and takes the kids with him.

| They all are legal age. Trust me! |
This begins an adventure that is over the top. They encounter thugs, guns, lots of curses, and retarded situations. All in the name of fun. Shockingly it has some good morals and lessons to learn from. It ends with Jonah finally getting what he deserves. A mother that loves him and maybe a bright future.
ACTING
The acting was shockingly good. Everyone had a funny moment that made me laugh. The chemistry was top notch for a comedy. The children was a delight to see and was the driving force of the film. The acting deserves two thumbs up.

SPECIAL EFFECTS
This movie relies on its wild antics to deliver the special effects. It all looked fake but I didn't mind. It was funny to watch. This film really didn't need half of the wild antics to make this film funny.

| This some bullshit! |
WRITING AND DIRECTING
The film was written by Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka. They did a great job with the humor and dialog. The movie flows nicely and doesn't take long for the fun to start. The film was directed by David Gordon Green. His directing remided me of The Hot Tub Time Machine. It was a fun movie to watch and I think his style of directing was a good fit.

THE END
This is a funny comedy. I would recommend waiting for video though. No need to rush to see it. You'll enjoy the film more at home with your special someone or a good party. Through in a few booze and a little helping herb and you'll see a masterpiece.
