The Sitter (2011)

The film features Rodrigo, a young boy implied to be gay, whose character is largely built on stereotypical 'flamboyant' traits for comedic effect. His parents express concern, prompting the protagonist to attempt to 'man him up.' While this effort fails, the narrative primarily uses his identity for humor without offering significant critique of the stereotypes or affirming his identity.

The film features Roxy, a transsexual woman, whose identity is primarily used as a source of crude humor and discomfort for other characters. Her portrayal leans into harmful stereotypes, presenting her as a sex worker and the subject of demeaning jokes, without offering counterbalancing positive elements or critique. The net impact is negative.

The film portrays Noah's Jewish mother through the lens of the 'overbearing Jewish mother' stereotype, using it for comedic effect. This narrative choice reinforces a cultural stereotype without significant nuance or counter-balance, which can be seen as problematic.
