“The Sitter” is lude, crude and confusing

"The Sitter" is just another over-the-top comedy chalked-full of suspense and slapstick comedy. The film is typical form for comedian Jonah Hill, but in the best possible way. The unlikely events come one after another, back to back.

Jonah Hill, who plays the character Noah, is a riot in this film. He appears to be a loser, never having met his parent's expectations after high school. Noah is personified as a college dropout that hasn't left the nest yet. He unexpectedly agrees to babysit three unruly young children who are out to cause trouble.

This movie takes the audience on a thrill ride. From the very opening scene the audience is in shock with the crude comedy that makes "The Sitter." It is completely inappropriate, from the content of the writing to the exposure of drugs and sex.

Besides Hill and his hilarious role as a leading man, the children co-stars of this film are each very entertaining. Each actor has a strong personality and willingness to follow Hill into any situation.

The children actors give this film its unique flair. The little girl, Blithe (Landry Bender), who wants to grow up to be a professional pop star, gave an excellent performance as a depiction of a overdramatic teeny bopper. The adopted son, Rodrigo (Kevin Hernandez), is absolutely hilarious. He doesn't speak much, but his actions are very expressive. Lastly, Bender's brother, Slater (Max Records), suffers from severe anxiety and is in a panic throughout each extreme situation Hill gets into.

This film explores the boundaries of comedy and crudeness. Hill is wildly inappropriate with the way that he interacts with each player in this film.

The writers tried to make up for some of the offputting crude humor. Noah is actually a very smart character and teaches each child a very important lesson.

Director David Gordon Green has a very distinct style. This film is very raunchy and follows a similar plot line process as film "Pineapple Express." This style is also very erratic. The movie moves quickly from a bar scene to car chases, and even shows cherry bombs blowing up bathrooms. It was hard to see where the movie was going scene after scene.

This film is full of lowbrow humor. It is not a movie for young people, and it is hard to say just what audience the writers were aiming for.

The relationship between Noah and Sam Rockwell was very funny. Rockwell plays a drug dealer who is starved for attention and has a conflict with Hill that escalates very quickly.

The most engaging aspect portrayed is the soundtrack carried in this film. It was full of glorious hip-hop classics.

After seeing this film, parents will certainly think twice about whom they leave their children with as Noah proves to be the world's worst babysitter. Also, he proves to be the same funny and lovable chubby guy who just can't catch a break. It's an R-rated film, and rightfully so; not quite a family film, but possibly a great date movie.
