Adult Written by todd zino December 18, One of Jonah hill's best movies No sex except for the scene in the beginning language is the biggest issue here but not as bad as Superbad. Parent of a year-old Written by the rator June 23, The beginning of the movie isn't too bad, definitely not as bad as they make it seem.

A major subplot involves Noah buying some cocaine from an eccentric drug dealer who snorts it and offers some to him. Noah's pseudo-girlfriend is drunk at a party and asks him to buy her the cocaine. Adults at a few different venues -- a bat mitzvah, a pool hall, the drug dealer's place, a house party -- drink alcohol. Parents need to know that while this "babysitter gone wild" comedy may target teens -- especially those who are already Jonah Hill fans -- it has so many hard-R references to sex, drugs, and violence that it's not age appropriate for young teens.
Adoptive families may not appreciate the way the subject of adoption is depicted. It's all intended for laughs what kind of college-aged student would really take three kids to a drug dealer's lair?

But when his mom's blind date falls through because her friend's sitter cancels, Noah begrudgingly accepts the job.
His charges include Slater Max Records , a 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. When Marisa calls promising Noah sex if he buys cocaine and brings it to a house party, he agrees -- and takes the kids on a crazy, dangerous trip through Brooklyn and Manhattan.
If you crossed Adventures in Babysitting and Uncle Buck and added a healthy wallop of Superbad humor, the end result would be this simultaneously cringe-worthy and entertaining comedy. Through all the antics, Hill reminds viewers how even the least improbable protagonists can win over audiences.
It's not an easy movie to watch, particularly when you've left your own children in the care of babysitters time and time again, but with its old-school hip-hop soundtrack, some brilliant one-liners, and -- as strange as it may seem -- a positive message about the staying true to yourself and finding your place in a family, The Sitter is a surprisingly amusing, albeit quite naughty, cautionary tale about what happens when parents are away for the night.
Families can talk about whether The Sitter is intended to have positive take-aways, or if it's just meant to be funny. Does learning life lessons justify the craziness? Bullying is mentioned as a part of both Noah's background and Slater's future. Teens: What's the best way to handle bullying?
