Contrived? Oh yes. Predictable? Very. Outrageously fun with a good heart to the characters? YES Before watching it I saw that 99% of critics( and viewers by the looks of it) hated this movie with a passion. They complained it was "predictable" and "unfunny". Well, so what if it was predictable? Most movies are, answer me this how many movies have you seen where you were genuinely surprised at the ending. So naturally, my expectations were lowered. But I thought the acting by the children was really good and Jonah Hill was as funny as usual. Also, it dealt with a prevalent issue in many kids' lives, coming out as gay. It dealt with this in a respectful and not overly-sentimental way. Basically this movie is not trying to bag an Oscar and it is not high- art melodrama stuff and it's not even close to being one of my favourite films. So watch it if you like a good,rowdy comedy.

The humor can be lewd and crude but the characters are soo eccentric that it's a comedic goldmine. Jonah Hill plays the titular sitter but he is actually one of the weaker points of this film. The kids he's watching and the drug dealer he encounters steal the show. Very very funny. Often compared to the '80's "Adventure's in Babysitting" movie.

Yeah underrated has hell if you look at the scores. It's definitely a movie that will keep you entertained through out the entire movie. Many twists and turns in the settings and how the characters grow. Sure it's just a random comedy movie but it's a good one and it needs to be seen and to be rated higher. It's better than most crap that comes out these days. It has some big laughs and yeah what more is there to say than that if you have heard of this movie. Just see it. You will laugh and be entertained. And it has a good message too not a deep message in some sense but a good one so yep see it NOW !
