Summary: Fantastic and Wonderful!
Review: I saw this movie when it first came out, and I LOVED IT!!! I had to go out and buy it, when it was released. I played it all the time, and even had it on while I was busy around the house because it was so funny and uplifting..I suggest you buy it, you'll absolutely LOVE IT!!!! They are both hystericle and it's sooo funny!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Movie Ever!
Review: I wish more projects were assembled for this tag-team of born screwball comedy geniuses, because "Housesitter" offers a great display of how well Martin and Hawn work together onscreen. Their senses of timing are tremendous and both have a gift for physical comedy and wringing the best out of every line of dialogue. I disagree with the Amazon staff reviewer, I think this movie is very well constructed, with a tight plotline and just the right balance of jokes and exposition. Not a word or scene is wasted. The humor is absurdist but good-natured, as in older-style films, and the supporting cast does standout service. This is a very underrated comedy, in my view, and I give it a high recommendation for fans of either of these fine actors or zany comedy in general. A very refreshing change from in-you-face gross-out jokes and sophomoric scatalogical/sexual put-down gags that pass as "comedy" in so many films today.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An all-around enjoyable film!
Review: Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn are perfectly cast as the two imperfectly matched protagonists in this entertaining movie about a man who wants to impress an old girlfriend by using a yarn-spinning new girlfriend who's set herself up as his wife. Even though the end is predictable, this is a fun flick. The casting was particularly on target, including even the minor characters.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Prefect Anti-depressant !
Review: Steven Martin + Goldie Hawn = Perfect Comedy !

Both combines the wits and laughs that makes this one of the best comedies i have ever seen. It literally knocks me off my chair.

Just get it. Period.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: CUTE!
Review: This movie is about an architect, played by Steve Martin, who builds his dream house for his highschool sweetheart. When he asks her to marry him, she turns him down and he is heartbroken.
He has a chance encounter with Gwen, played by Goldie Hawn, and after hearing the story of his dreamhouse she takes a little trip to his town and moves into his home.
Soon through many events, people begin to know her as Steve's
wife, even his parents and Gwen lets them believe this. That is where the fun begins as she teams up with Steve in a plot to get his old girlfriend Becky jealous and wondering just what she had missed in not marrying Steve.
This was a fun movie, not one of Goldie's best but still enjoyable. I did like the ending, but I always do like happy endings in everything I watch.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An almost Perfect comedy !!
Review: This movie is one of my favorites. I originally seen this movie in 1992. Eleven years later I still think of this movie as being one of my favorites for comedy. Goldie Hawn and Steve Martin are fun to watch together and I think they compliment each other in this movie, unlike the other movie they recently did together. (I think the Out of Towners?) I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a "great(semi-romantic)comedy".
