The Sitter

Noah (Jonah Hill) is an unemployed twenty-something year old who lives at home with his Mom and has little ambition. When his Mom offers him an opportunity to make some money babysitting for her family friend Noah refuses to do it because apparently "grown men don't babysit things". Well, I think one could probably see where this is going next. Noah is introduced to the kids he is taking care of, and the viewer quickly finds out that all are all uniquely troublesome. He is left in charges of Slater (Max Records), a 13-year-old with severe anxiety issues; Blithe (Landry Bender), a first grader who fancies herself a "celebutante" reality star in the making; and Rodrigo (Kevin Hernandez), a tween Central American adoptee who lashes out without warning. Things kick off when Noah's "girlfriend" calls him for cocaine with promises of sex upon delivery. So what does this college drop out do? He steals the van and takes the kids on a crazy adventure through Manhattan and The Bronx trying to find the drugs his girl friend so desperately wants. By the end of the movie Noah becomes close with the kids and offers to be their full time babysitter to keep an eye on things at the house.

This is a must-see for any Jonah Hill fans as his performance in this flick rivals some of his best.
