The Sitter (2011)

When the world's most irresponsible babysitter takes three of the world's worst kids on an unforgettable overnight adventure through the streets of New York City, it's anyone's guess who's going to make it home in one piece.

The Sitter is a comedy that is so god damn lazy that almost nothing about it is all that funny. Their line of thinking must have been to steal funny scenes from these other funny films and create one long epic laughing roller coaster that the crowd would just eat up, but it was a complete mess. Even when they hit on something funny, they got lazy again ad used the exact same joke fifteen minutes alter. Just how awful is the film if it stoops all the way down to that level? The answer is awful.

A story is never a big thing in a comedy. The only real accomplishment that’s needed is to keep the characters moving from one joke to the next. Anything more than that is just icing to the cake. Here with The Sitter though, it takes a few tame situations and tries to mix in sentimental and outrageous moments together at the same time and instead of triggering a laugh or a heartfelt moment, all you can think about is how the hell they just changed directions without wrapping up the previous encounter. The Sitter is a shining example of when a story is so badly paced and revealed that it actually makes you hate it despite any good qualities it might have had. In this case, ti had none, but that’s beside the point.

For those disappointed that this will be the last we see of fat Jonah Hill who could be funny at times, don’t be, because if it keeps making movies this this, his career will go in a downward spiral causing him to get depressed and become fat again. It just sucks that fatty couldn’t go out with a bang instead of a whimper. And what the hell did Sam Rockwell see with this? His character was stupid, had a lot to do with the repetitiveness of it all, and once again did a movie that will only make the public hate him even more. The guy needs a new agent.

If you want to watch something so unfunny and stupid, give the Sitter a chance, but you’re better off choosing just about anything else if all you’re looking for is some type of entertainment. The only real good jokes this film throws at you come with the trailer; everything else is just pure crap.
