    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 SO much fun   December 12, 2009

    I really love Goldie Hawn in Housesitter and think this movie along with Overboard are probably two of her greatest movies. I laughed all the way through. I also enjoyed Steve Martin. He and Goldie had great chemistry together. If you have never seen this movie and you like either Hawn or Martin order it, you'll have a lot of fun.

    5 out of 5 stars Goldie as delightful as ever   August 12, 2009

    It is nice to watch these brilliant actors having fun in front of the camera in pleasant surroundings, supported by a good team of performers. Goldie Hawn is funny and her smile priceless. Although a fine comedienne, Goldie draws heavily on her spectacular legs and posterior in this movie. Fully aware of that, she doesn't hesitate making the most of them. However, the story is, as usual in this kind of movies, rather impossible and quite unbelievable, but it's good entertainment. Watching it is relaxing and one way getting in good mood without overloading the brain activity.

    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

    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.
