Synopsis:

Noah is a suspended college student, living at home with his single mom. When he is talked into babysitting the three, young, misfit kids next door, he decides to take them along on an attempted sexual rendezvous, and the night takes a wild and dangerous turn for the worse for which he is totally unprepared.

Review:

Well this is just proof that Jonah Hill needs someone with a stronger comedic ability to feed off of & to help out his jokes. The problem (or one of many) is that his main source of comedic help is kids. Don't get me wrong the kids weren't the problem. The Problem was that the jokes were so poorly written & childish that you want to punch him in the face. I kind of feel bad for Jonah because it seems like everyone of his roles calls for him to either gain a shit ton of weight or drop a shit ton of weight. On top of it you have a ton of slight racist jokes & stereotypes. The adopted child Rodrigo is nothing more than a comedic attempt at a cholo but just plays out stupid stereotypes that are not funny at all. Sam Rockwell plays the villain, a gay drug dealer who Jonah owes money to when the cholo kid steals a, no joke, dinosaur egg full of cocaine & they break it. Rockwell was fine, J.B. Smoover was fine. Ari Graynor was annoying as fuck. Director David Green really shit the bed on this one after his first two major comedies were great.
