    In The Sitter, Noah (Hill), the suburban slacker, takes a sitter job. When he's watching the neighbor's three challenging kids he gets a booty call from his girlfriend in the Big Apple. 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. (Gary Reber)

    Both the R-rated theatrical version (01:21:14) and the Totally Irresponsible unrated version (01:27:04) are available. Special features include 10 deleted/alternate/extended scenes (HD 25:54), a gag reel (HD 03:37), a sits-n-giggles reel (HD 03:09), For Your Consideration (HD 01:01), a making-of featurette (HD 15:23), Jonah The Producer (HD 04:59), the theatrical trailer, up-front previews, BD-Live functionality, and a digital copy.

    The 1.85:1 1080p AVC picture is vibrant throughout, with a vivid, saturated color palette. Colors pop with appealing intensity, yet fleshtones are perfectly natural in hue. Contrast is well balanced with deep, solid blacks and revealing shadow delineation. Resolution reveals fine detail, especially during close-ups of facial features, hair, clothing, and object texture. The picture is sharp and clear throughout. This is a brightly vivid picture that is pleasing to experience. (Gary Reber)

    The DTS-HD Master Audio™ 5.1-channel soundtrack is vibrant, with a mixture of music styles that envelop the soundfield. Atmospherics and sound effects are dimensional, with an aggressive surround presence. Dialogue is intelligible and effectively integrated spatially. Surround envelopment is almost constant, for an engaging holosonic® experience. Deep bass is aggressive but provides a natural low-frequency foundation. This is a fun soundtrack that is energized from start to finish. (Gary Reber)

    Reason #112 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The first thing that grabbed my interest was the DVD reviews. But after I purchased that first issue and read the reviews, I got hooked on all of the other information contained in each issue. I had adopted the DVD format fairly early on, and I have had a strong preference for widescreen, dating back to my VHS days. The technical information is a godsend. I feel that I have saved so much money by avoiding inferior quality DVDs. I was very ignorant about the technology out there for home theatre and was not aware of the resources I had that were really going to waste. (5.1 in my movie collection) I read and read and read and finally updated my antiquated system. It is such a wonderful joy to turn down the lights, turn up the sound, and enjoy movies more than I ever could at a theatre. I knew it was worth it even more when my wife said, “Cool” as we watched The Others with true surround sound. Widescreen Review has actually helped improve my quality of life!
