Stylish but barely mediocre overall
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Its a must see! It never gets bored the jokes comes so fast sometimes that for people who don't speak fluent English/American will miss a lot.If you see the movie with sub language, it must really suck. Sinbad is king, the other actors also do their job terrific! Go see this movie today! Its a must see!

HOUSESITTER, in my opinion, is a good film that's very funny, albeit somewhat crude. It's a story about what can happen when you don't pay off your debts. If you ask me, the way that Kevin (Sinbad) talked his way into staying with the Youngs (Phil Hartman, Kim Griest, Chauncey Leopardi, Talia Seider, Kim Murphy) was pretty darn clever. However, when Kevin performed that oral surgery, I think I wanted to puke. This was because he wasn't a certified dentist. In conclusion, if you like Sinbad or Phil Hartman movies, this is definitely one to see. You will truly enjoy it, so go to the video store, rent it or buy it, kick back with a friend, and enjoy it.
I have to say, when I first saw the movie, I thought it was incredibly dumb. After about the third time, I thought it was so funny. It gets more amusing the more often you watch it. It's sort of like that song that you think sucks the first few times you hear it, and then you listen to it a few more times, and it sounds a little better, and then after about a month, you really like it. Sinbad and Phil Hartman play off each other very well, and amongst the stupidity, there's a light hearted lesson in friendship and the ability of people to change. I don't know how much more I can write about the movie without going into spoilers, but just go out and rent it.
One of the most hilarious films of all time in My opinion is Houseguest! It stars Sinbad, Phil Hartman, Jeffrey Jones, "Big" Tony Longo, Paul Ben-Victor, Stan Shaw, and Ron Glass! Sinbad is very good in this film and he is funny. Phil Hartman is hilarious in this film. He shows that he really was a quality actor. I am amazed how big Sinbad and Jones are when they stand next to each other. Jones is very good in this film too. Tony Longo, who also is a big man also performed good. The action and chase scenes are really great and a lot of the scenes are really funny! The dialog is really good in this movie. The music by John Debney is very good. I really like this film and I think its one of the best! If you love Sinbad, Phil Hartman, and the other cast members and love action comedy films then I strongly recommend Houseguest today!
