    The teaming of Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn would seem to have been sure-fire casting, but Housesitter's writing is never strong enough to sustain it and the film's hit-and-miss quality has more misses than hits. Martin plays an architect who builds his dream house for his high school sweetheart (Dana Delany), then surprises her with a marriage proposal--both of which she rejects. Distraught, he goes back to New York and pours out his heart to a woman he meets in a bar and beds (Hawn), not realizing she is a flaky con artist. She knows a good thing when she hears it and heads for his hometown, moves into the empty dream house, and begins passing herself off as Martin's new wife. Though the writers build in a variety of complications (involving Delany, as well as Martin's parents and boss), the film finds its jokes only in fits and starts, though Martin has a particularly hilarious moment when he must sing to his father in front of a crowd of strangers. --Marshall Fine

    5 out of 5 stars A lovely, feel good movie   April 12, 2009
    Elizabeth A. Hein (Chicago, IL)
    This is such a charming movie. Goldie Hawn the scammer and straight laced Steve Martin make an enjoyable on-screen couple. I have seen this movie dozens of times and I have not tired of the storyline or the scenery. Pop the popcorn and settle in! This light, fun film will not disappoint.


    5 out of 5 stars Love this duo   April 10, 2009
    David A. Therrien (Utah)
    Can you go wrong with this team? Davis (Martin) builds a house for his dream girl only to be turned down. In the mean time Gwen (Hawn) is a drifter girl waitressing where she meets Martin and they end up spending the night together where he tells her about the house only to be gone before morning.

    She finds the picture and knowing Davis never foes there decides to pay it a visit where she passes herself off as his wife ONLY to add to the mess runs into Davis' parents. Davis finds out and well lets just say the lies and plots just get nuttier by the minute. A must see too hard o give total description and not make this review a book.

    lets just say if your a fan of Either of these actors you WON'T be disappointed.



    5 out of 5 stars Fun & Funny   March 26, 2009
    D. Bratcher (Texas, USA)
    This is a really cute and romantic movie! It's almost like good, fun marriage counseling, if there is such a thing! Great date-movie.


    5 out of 5 stars A COMEDY TO BE TREASURED   March 22, 2009
    Can Coemlekci (Istanbul Turkey)
    Even before viewing a film with Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn, a film viewer knows the film already has a comedic cache. "Housesitter" is one of the best comedies of the past 20 years and remains fresh and funny after repeated viewings. Hawn as a chronic but charming liar and Martin as a man trying to jump-start his faltering personal and professional lives, make for a winning combination. The supporting cast is wonderful, with the street people Hawn hires to pose as her "parents" hilarious and yet touching. This is a film to own and watch repeatedly.


    5 out of 5 stars My favorite movie   July 21, 2008
    W. McMichael (Herndon-Oak Hill, VA United States)
    I don't tend to watch movies over and over. However, I do have favorites and do watch them again and again over the years. For both my wife and me, this is the number one favorite. We watch it about twice a year. As others here have mentioned, it is a mood elevator. I ease into it with anticipation until the chair shopping scene. After that, I just go with the flow of it on my cloud nine all the way through.
