Movie Reviews of Housesitter
Movie Review: "Oh what a tangle web we weave"
Summary: 5 Stars
Gwen is a person with many sides and stories to match. Just as you have her figures out she is someone else (several someone else's.) Imagination abounds as Newton Davis struggles to keep up. "Oh what a tangle web we weave" and it really gets tangled.
You know Goldie Hawn and Steve Martin have to be good. What you were not told was how great the supporting cast is. Donald Moffat "The Bourne Identity"(1988), plays George Davis the estranged father that Gwen (Goldie Hawn) reconciles with son, Newton (Steve Martin). George asks, "What do young people think marriage is today?" Gwen asks, "You don't want me to write and essay?"
One character not on the cast list is the house it's self. It is beautifully designed with lots of architectural amities. There is a large window that frames the lake. And mobile book cases to form quasi walls.

Movie Review: It was Jessica all along!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hey guys! We are not plugging this movie well enough. If my wife didn't give me this for a birthday or something and I wasn't just in the mood to watch something different this evening I would have never picked up on this great little movie. We need to get the word out! My take: agreed this is a great team to pull this off. The non-surprise ending could have been so hoaky but they actually did it in a way I was glad Becky finally got left out of it. Let her find her own match if there is one. But I see a whole lot of depth in the whole point of this comedy. It is all true! None of this was a con. That is the beauty of it. The beauty of it is the con. This is so true in so many ways, and we love it and know we do. So the movie is not just cute, not just funny. It has a very serious point about life to make if we just see it. Didn't someone say something like "Heaven is all around you, you just don't see it"? You need the right story and things will be well.
Movie Review: Humorous Classic

Housesitter / 078322740X
A cute and zany rom com, "Housesitter" explores the world of an uptight straight man, frustrated in his personal and work lives. When Magic Pixie Dream Girl Hawn sweeps into his life and creates a fantastic fictional backstory for their romantic "marriage" (and her own colorful pedigree), Martin's character starts to see the possibilities when he realizes after his initial resistance that his coworkers, friends, and family prefer his "new" persona that Hawn has created for him.
Martin and Hawn work beautifully together here, in a classic comedy that still remains well-paced and very, very funny. As their characters begin to grow into their fictional personas, it is easy for the viewer to become caught up in the fantasy of reinventing yourself, perhaps into the person you always wanted to be but never dared to become.

Movie Review: Wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars
Most of us know the story. I'm just going to add my favorate scenes and thoughts. Becky didn't deserve Newton. She turned his marriage proposal down because she did not see the value in his creativity and vision. We get a real sense of what Gwen is feeling the first time she sees the house. Imagine this: You are walking thru a brand new house that was custom designed by someone you know. No one has ever lived in it, and the person it was offered to has turned it down. Gwen thought the house was so beautiful that she sat out side of the house and stared at it in amazement! Although she initially didn't want Newton around because of her con, we know that she could see the value of the man. This is the focus of the story: not the house but the story of a woman recognizing the quailites of Newton.
One of my favorite movies!
Movie Review: Love this duo
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
