The Sitter manages to be unfunny, predictable, dull and ridiculous all at the same time. It starts badly with Jonah Hill failing to get sex from his coke-addicted girlfriend and quickly scrapes right through the bottom of the barrel to rip off every babysitter film ever made.

The three kids in the film are a collection of two-dimensional problems that make the adults look like Dickensian-crafted characters. The kid from Ecuador think he's from a cartel because - you know - he's South American. Floppy haired anxiety kid is coming to terms with being gay because that's such a great concept for comedy. And celebrity obsessed brat #3 is really annoying. The stereotypes don't stop there - there are some 'gangsta' black people who are really just cool folk in the end too.

Around the end of Act 2 the film is forced to try to reconcile all these situations in some really terribly written scenes that show the kid from Ecuador should be more family oriented and less completely crazy, kid #2 should accept his sexuality (at 12 years old!) and kid #3 has to wipe off the excess make-up. Jonah meanwhile realizes his girlfriend has been using him and hooks up with an arbitrary friend from college who happens to be cocktailing.

The basic problem with the film isn't the absurdity (The Hangover barely makes sense but is a great flick) - it's the fact that there isn't a single laugh in the whole movie. Sam Rockwell limps his way through this and somehow his thorough beating near the end seems out of key with a kid-focused comedy. How this script ever got made is beyond my imagination - if this is all Hollywood has, please keep remaking classics and giving us sequels. I had to rewatch Uncle Buck just to remember what comedy looked like.
