Review of HouseSitter

HouseSitter (1992)
6/10
No riot, but some genuine laughs
5 October 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Off the back of his very funny 'con-artist' comedy "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels", Frank Oz brings a film to us with a similar theme. Goldie Hawn is "Gwen", a woman who conjures up lie after fantastic lie, whilst Steve Martin is her flabbergasted 'husband', 'Newton Davis'. "Housesitter" is a somewhat silly film, but leads Martin and Hawn do manage to carry the comedy well.

Its predictability does not detract from its value, nor the fact that it remains quite a funny picture. It may not be a riot, but it most certainly will make you laugh. Also starred Dana Delaney, Julie Harris and Peter MacNicol.
