The Sitter Blu-ray Review

The Sitter will be released March 20, 2012, courtesy of Fox.

The Sitter stars Jonah Hill, Max Records, Landry Bender, Kevin Hernandez, Ari Graynor, JB Smoove, Sam Rockwell, Jessica Hecht, Cliff 'Method Man' Smith, Bruce Altman, Erin Daniels, and D.W. Moffett. The film is directed by David Gordon Green.

Quote:

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 new level of twisted and debauched hilarity from the director of Pineapple Express.

I'm a little surprised there hasn't been more discussion of this movie.

Did anyone see it in theaters? I do find some of Jonah Hill's work funny and amusing, but still not sure on this one...

It's shit.

I saw it at a screening on the Fox Studio lot, and the audience (including myself) seemed to enjoy it. I was surprised by the terrible reviews, but what can you do? All I know is I like the movie, so I'll be buying it. And I recommend it for a blind buy, but not for typical release time prices because of the poor reviews.

Aren't they going to redo the artwork and have 'Oscar Nominee' over Jonah's name ???

The day after I saw The Sitter in the theater, I actually met Jonah Hill in the Dallas airport. I was standing next to him at the snack counter and told him that I enjoyed the movie. He smiled and said "Thanks man." That was a very cool experience.

I'd agree with the 2.5/5. It had maybe a handful of good jokes, and Sam Rockwell was great, but it was just kind of boring and irritating at times. Meh. I like Jonah Hill still, just thought this was a dud of a movie.

I watched it and really enjoyed it. Its a Updated version of Adventures in Babysitting

chaingunsofdoom · 03-21-2012, 09:14 PM

Looked a lot like AiB, so I will pick this one up once it gets to sane pricing levels up here.

Jennifer Lawrence Fan · 03-21-2012, 09:19 PM

I looked at the runtime and it says its only 81 minutes. Geez so that's barely a 1 and 15 minute movie. I wanna see this, but might wait until its really cheap.

ObiWanShinobi · 03-21-2012, 09:25 PM

Saw this in theaters with my wife and a friend. Other than a few funny but not at all hilarious moments, it was a very bland comedy/film.

The movie seemed very stale and often times painfully unfunny. Very by the numbers, play it safe type comedy.

I dont understand why everyone talks bad about this movie. I loved it.

Ruckus · 03-22-2012, 06:14 PM

The totally irresponsible edition gives us what? I heard it has an unrated version in addition to the theatrical edition is this true and if so does the unrated version add anything worthwhile? I ask because the bd alone version is 5 dollars cheaper than this version

Ill_Be_Back · 03-22-2012, 06:25 PM

I seen it in theaters when it came out and I was really disappointed, literally the whole film was in the theatrical trailer!

mad monkey · 03-22-2012, 06:49 PM

I've never seen the movie and kinda wanted to blind-buy it but at the $29.99 retail price I seen it at I'm not biting. I'll wait for $15 or less and then give it a shot.

OR!...you could RedBox this movie for a $1 and feel no guilt what-so-ever other than you lost an hour and a half of your life

Just kidding.

Eraserheaddf · 03-30-2012, 08:57 PM

I picked this up at wal-mart today for $19.99 (blind buy). I thought that even though SOME of the jokes didn't work, on the whole this was a very funny movie

.... Of course what is more subjective than humor, right?

Bluballs31 · 08-28-2012, 02:40 AM

I just rented this and enjoyed it, dont get why it received such harsh reviews. It was like a R rated adventures in babysitting. I thought Jonah Hill worked well in this. Not saying it's a great flick but it was enjoyable
