Not making love to the night

The Sitter (2011)

 Directed by David Gordon Green this comedy stars Jonah Hill, Ari Graynor and Sam Rockwell. A slacker is stuck baby sitting kids while trying to impress his girlfriend who regularly takes advantage of him.

There is not a huge amount of originality in this film and an occasional tendency towards stereotyping but mostly the film manages to be inoffensive. When it comes to the humour there are funny moments but they are mostly fairly obvious gags and the plot pulls no surprises. What the film could have done with is a bit more depth to the characters who are token efforts for the most part.

 2/5
