The Sitter
Short description
Noah Griffith is a college student who has been suspended for a semester and is back living with his mother. Reluctantly, he agrees to spend an evening babysitting the three children of a neighbor: two boys, Slater and Rodrigo, and their younger sister Blithe. The kids prove difficult from the start, and Noah has little interest in the job. When an opportunity arises to meet his girlfriend Marisa in the city, he takes the children along rather than stay home, and the night turns into a chaotic trip through New York involving parties, criminals and a drug lord pursuing them. The shared ordeal gradually draws Noah and the children together.
David Gordon Green directed the film, the fourth of fourteen features in his filmography, following Your Highness the same year and preceding Prince Avalanche in 2013. Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka wrote the screenplay, and Michael De Luca produced. Jonah Hill plays Noah, with Landry Bender, Max Records and Kevin Hernandez as the children, plus Ari Graynor and Sam Rockwell. Made for 25 million dollars, it took about 35 million worldwide. On IMDb it holds 5.6 from roughly 75,000 votes, and on TMDB 5.6 from a much smaller number, while a critics' rating of 4.3 from 111 reviews places it below both audience scores.
What's left behind the scenes
- The promotional poster features the actual phone number of John Hill, who played the main character in the film. That number is (917) 409-7838. When you call it, you hear a voicemail, and sometimes the actor himself speaks (either in his own voice or as his character).
