Well Deserved Praise

Thanks for the memories!

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

If the idea of someone hiding in a family to escape problems is funny, the story written around is not amazing: the scenes come up one after another without any sense and it's pretty much the same stuff every time (Sinbad does whatever and it pays off). Sure i laugh every 5 minutes because there is always a good line or a funny situation but overall, this kind of non stop talking clown gives me headaches! The other thing that disturbs me is that the family is the new brand of upper class, with the usual depressive teen girl and the big mansion... When i was young, the families look like mine (ET, Goonies, Poltergeist, Twin Peaks). As it's already there in Home Alone, i think that the difference is about coast: in the east, family has big brick houses while in the west, it's more pavilion. At last, if i rate 4 instead of 7, it's because of the poor ending: suddenly, the movie becomes a lesson, it's about redemption and it spoils everything... By the way, Kim is nearly invisible here as a rare mother neglecting her children for work!!!NB: and his pink-green sport-wear is just ugly !!!

Many comedies are great comedies. Many of them are funny, entertaining, and clever. But House Guest, ( Sinbad and Phil Hartman ) is one of those I'm gonna need to pretend like I know what i'm doin', even though I don't know what I'm doin' comedies. It's one of those I have to act like I'm someone else kinda comedies. Every laugh's a screamer, every joke, clever, and every Sinbad goes, there's TROUBLE!!!! It's one of those movies you have to see again, and again, and again, mainly because it was just too damn funny. While watching the movie, I would say to myself, "It would be hilarious if that really happened, or if someone really said that, or I could just imagine me trying' to do something like that. The movie's great. I hope I gave you a good enough of an idea to help you understand how funny this movie is, without spoiling it for you.... The only reason why I rated this Movie "6/10" is because IMDb has it voted as that....

When I saw previews for this, I really wanted to see it. Unfortunately I never got time to go the movie theater to go see it. But when it became a new rental, I went right down to Blockbuster and rented it. And I loved this movie. The pairing of Sinbad and Phil Hartman was excellent. The part when they leave the airport is hilarious and also when Sinbad tells Jason "Caress the wheel like a woman. Don't hold it like a pervert!" Then Jason says "But I don't know how to caress a woman." LOL. That part was hilarious. From beginning to end, this movie is definitely an all-time classic. Too bad they don't make movies like this anymore. Now a days it's over-hyped garbage like The Da Vinci Code or these teen slasher psycho movies where everyone just runs around and screams. Another part I really liked was when Sinbad says to the wine critic "Sounds like someone needs a woman." That part was hilarious too. Houseguest is a comedic gem that very few comedies can live up to. Definitely worth seeing for anyone who hasn't seen it yet and definitely worth buying to add to your collection!

Houseguest. One of Sinbad's funniest movies and Phil Hartman's funniest movies. Sinbad plays a 35-year old, never want go get a job, con man, who is in to the mob for $50,000 dollars. After trying to escape from the con man, he impersonates a dentist and that's when the fun begins.Right off the back, Sinbad brings the laughs. All of of lines about the great white shark biting his friends head off and the GFH off of his suit jacket. This is a wonderful movie and I would recommend it to anyone, because Sinbad is a comedian that doesn't need profanity to be funny.Funny 10/10!
