The Sitter


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes
Watched With: Myself

This one is a much more r-rated Adventures in Babysitting (aka A Night on the Town for all you Aussies that grew up in the 80's). For David Gordon Green, it's certainly a big step up from Your Highness (it's also much simpler) but probably not as fun overall as Pineapple Express.

I think the Sam Rockwell factor is a big part of why I enjoyed this so much. I also think Ari Graynor is the best. The 3 kids are really great. Max Records from Where The Wild Things Are is given the more dramatic storyline whilst the other two are just played for the laughs.

As you would expect, things escalate and get pretty outlandish and you're just expected to go along for the ride. More of it works than doesn't though and it was a perfectly fine diversion from a day of work but not something I'll be coming back to often.
