The Sitter is a comedy movie based on a college dropout who is lured into a babysitting job babysitting 3 kids, in which he is in for way more than what he expected. Jonah Hill who plays the babysitter Noah in the movie, plays the role very well. Noah is a much laid back guy, but has his way with words, throughout the movie there are many people that are after them, or do something to them. Jonah is good at using his humor, but in a very serious and laidback way. Ari Graynor, who plays the role of Marisa Lewis, Noah’s Girlfriend, in the movie The Sitter. Marisa is a very needy girl, who uses Noah, and the only way she will have sex with him is if he brings her drugs to a party. Ari plays this role very well, in expressing Marisa’s feelings very dramatically. Max records plays the role of Slater Pedulla, the oldest of the three kids Noah is babysitting. Slater claims he has anxiety, and has clung onto these pills, and takes them “as needed”, Later on during the movie, Noah teaches Slater that he doesn’t need the pills because Slater is perfect the way he is. Max plays the role of Slater very well in a sense of the “addictive” traits that Slater has to his pills. Landry bender who plays the role of Blithe Pedulla. Now Blithe is not what you would expect out of a 9 year old. She is very mature, and likes to manipulate people into doing what she wants to do. Blithe likes to dress up, wear a lot of makeup, and is a big attention seeker throughout the movie. Landry plays this role very well in a sense that she uses her voice a lot, so that people will get her attention. Kevin Hernandez plays the role of Rodrigo Pedulla in the movie. Rodrigo is mad at the world, and doesn’t think anyone likes him, so he lashes out at everyone else who is trying to be nice to him. As the kids and Noah go through all this trouble getting drugs to his girlfriend, Rodrigo learns the values of family, and friendship and that people only want to be there for him, and be his friend. Kevin plays the role of Rodrigo very well by using a lot of facial expressions to show Rodrigo’s feelings. There are many themes in the movie The Sitter. One theme would have to be, don’t let anyone take advantage of you, because in the end nobody wins, and it just turns into a bad situation. Another theme would be that you shouldn’t put young kid’s lives in danger especially when you are delivering drugs to someone. Critics say that the movie is too raunchy, and inappropriate. It’s a movie with kids, but not for kids so this has been getting mixed views from many critics. I think that the movie is raunchy, but you have to have a sense of humor to actually understand what is going on during the movie. I think that this movie is 100% worth your time and money especially if you are looking for a good laugh, this is the type of movie for you.
