I’ve had the script for The Sitter sitting on my hard drive since April 2010 and although I’ve wanted to read it for a while now, I held off because the Apatow associated comedies are always better on the screen than on the page, and I simply didn’t want the movie ruined by reading it beforehand.

I know it’s a little mean, but Jonah Hill seems way less funny now that he’s lost so much weight.  I mean, it’s good for him, he’ll probably live longer and get laid more often, but I’m not convinced it’s a good career move.  I have to believe that audiences find a fat guy funnier than a skinny guy.  At least he’s still chubby in The Sitter.

Ari Graynor, Sam Rockwell and JB Smoove also star.  The film opens on December 9th 2011.
