Rotten
A noisy, unfocused, frequently annoying and intermittently offensive slapstick misfire.
Tom Huddleston, Time Out
Overview
Noah, is not your typical entertain-the-kids-no-matter-how-boring-it-is kind of sitter. He's reluctant to take a sitting gig; he'd rather, well, be doing anything else, especially if it involves slacking. When Noah is watching the neighbor's kid he gets a booty call from his girlfriend in the city. To hook up with her, Noah takes to the streets, but his urban adventure spins out of control as he finds himself on the run from a maniacal drug lord.

It does not care for your soft comedy.

The Sitter wants to have its urinal cake and eat it too, pushing the envelope of taste one minute and then delivering maudlin little life lessons the next.
Alonso Duralde, TheWrap
Rotten
For every laugh offered by The Sitter, there are five minutes of boredom and at least one failed scene of would-be "dramatic" character building.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

The Sitter seems to have a good heart, so why all the glib racism?
