First Look: Jonah Hill stars in ‘The Sitter’

The movie: "The Sitter"

When: Opening Friday at local theaters

Cast: Jonah Hill, Ari Graynor, Sam Rockwell

Director: David Gordon Green

The story: A suspended college student isn't prepared for the wild night that awaits when he agrees to keep an eye on the kids next door.

The buzz: This R-rated romp (from "Pineapple Express" director David Gordon Green) features the final big-screen appearance of the really big Jonah Hill, who lost considerable weight following the production of this -- and Oscar hopeful "Moneyball."
