"The Sitter" Movie. Innapropriate? Yes. Funny Enough To Make You Pee? Just Did. Excuse Me.

Ever met a girl who you would do just about anything for because she is so cute and breathtaking in every way?   It will come as no surprise that not all of these girls reciprocate our affection, passion and relentless efforts to earn their love.

When the first scene of the movie The Sitter began, I wanted to scream at Jonah Hill to stop pleasuring this girl, and run out of the room never to speak to her again.  Then again, I still had a pocket full of candy I needed an excuse to consume.

How far would you go in order to win the love of a girl?  That is the question "The Sitter" attempts to answer in one hour and forty minutes.  Would you put your life at risk in order to purchase her cocaine?  Even if you were supposed to be babysitting three young children?  What? "Bring them along!", you say? 

If you answered "Yes" to the last questions then I promise never to allow you to babysit my children.

I do understand the urgency that can overwhelm someone when faced with such a dilemma.  Although taking children with you to buy cocaine is as macabre as it is evil, Jonah Hill's character, Noah, is willing to risk everything to please this girl.....and possibly fornicate with/near her.

As the adventures take the unlikely super bad friends across the city of New York, I couldn't help but wish for a Michael Cera type of character to pop out and say "What are you doing?!  Not only are there children in this car, you have cocaine all over your face and most of all, 1985 called and they want Debbie Gibson's hairdo back from your supposed 'girlfriend.'"


Although giving away the ending of this film is not as much a crime as endangering the lives of minors, I won't participate in either activity.  If you liked the films Superbad and Adventures in Babysitting, you will enjoy this film.  Although, this type of potty humor made me almost expel my bladder, it is not for everyone.  Don't be a hater, be a McLovin-er.
