No. 5 — The Sitter
The raunchy, lighthearted comedy about a babysitter who takes the kids he’s supposed to be watching on a wild ride around town is one you can’t miss. This will make the hair stand up on the back of your neck if you’re a mom who’s ever worried about leaving her kids with someone she didn’t really know. Jonah Hill for a Saturday night, anyone?
