Review of HouseSitter

HouseSitter (1992)
6/10
Decent comedy
7 September 2015
My wife wanted to watch this so I reluctantly joined her. It turned out to be a decent comedy. Both Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn played their roles well. Martin is an architect who builds this new house, and Goldie Hawn is this kind of con artist who worms her way into living there, and eventually pretending that she is his wife.

They are both really great with tales. The way they could spin stories on the fly to any and everyone was just fun to watch. Had me laughing pretty regularly. Also, since we live in MA, we kept trying to guess what city/cities they used for Dobbs Mills town. The architecture firm owner, don't know his name, was also very good. Dana Delancy plays this spiffy preppy woman, and I really didn't like her that much, which I think means she did an OK job. It was hard to figure out if the Director was trying to get you to root for her or for Goldie Hawn.

Anyhow, it comes in at 90 minutes and I would recommend it to catch Martin and Hawn when they were still young enough to pull this off. Enjoy.
