Full Plot Details

Newton Davis builds his dream house and presents it to Becky with a proposal of marriage. She turns him down. He leaves the house, still with a ribbon around it and returns to the city, smitten with Becky. He meets Gwen, who has an interesting relationship with the truth. He spends the night with her, but leaves while she is sleeping. She takes his description of the house, searches it out, and moves in. The residents of Newton's hometown become curious and Gwen invents a marriage, a courtship, and and an entire history. Newton's parents meet Gwen and are immediately taken with her. By the time Newton finds out, the whole town thinks he's married, and Becky tells him that Gwen has made her see him in a whole new light. Gwen and Newton agree that she can pretend to be his wife and get free rent while Newton works on Becky until they can announce a divorce. The trouble is that nobody in the town wants them to separate and they keep trying to help them reconcile.

Movie Reviews

Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 9/10 by William ArnoldHOUSESITTER starts out slowly and never stops being implausible or predictable. Neither Steve Martin nor Goldie Hawn do anything we haven't seen them do before, and neither of them play especially likeable characters. The strange thing is that, despite these failings, the movie is obstinately, sometimes painfully funny.
About.com - 8/10 by Fred TopelBoring comedy. Nothing happens for about 40 minutes, then a few lies are cute, but the obvious love story is unsatisfying.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Jay CarrFor a romantic comedy, there's little in the way of romance, but the film's strength lies in the escalating lies concocted by Gwen as she struggles to maintain a toehold on her new life. Although it doesn't add up to a whole, and screenwriter Mark Stein fudges the issue of Gwen's motivation, he does provide some very funny, cheerfully contrived scams.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertThe charm of the movie comes in the performances - in the way Martin and Hawn lie to themselves and each other - and in the dialog, which is endlessly inventive as one lie piles upon another, and the characters test each other with a high-wire act of falsehood.
The Associated Press - 6/10 by Bob ThomasIf you're fond of Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn's physical talents for comedy even when they have slender material to work with, this occasionally amusing fluff can pass the time.
BrianOrndorf.com - 6/10 by Brian OrndorfIt's like a game of charades that goes on way too long at a dinner party nobody wanted to attend in the first place.
Los Angeles Times - 5/10 by Kenneth TuranDespite a high-powered cast and a zany/trendy concept, hardly anyone’s home in Housesitter. The result is much ado about too little, an occasionally amusing screwball farce made by people whose screws are barely loose at all.
The New York Times - 5/10 by Vincent CanbyToo much of the film seems unfinished. Almost every four scenes could be condensed into one. The comedy doesn't build to any climax. It just rolls on, with Ms. Hawn doggedly working to create some sense of oddball fun. The characters, as written, are as flimsy as Newton's dream house, which, even though based on a House Beautiful award-winning design, looks less habitable than a billboard. Even its brand-new furnishings are tacky.
Tampa Bay Times - 5/10 by Hal LipperEvery time Housesitter seems about to turn wild, it gets waterlogged with heart.
Empire - 4/10 by Angie ErrigoAll along, of course, we are supposed to realise they're made for each other, except that that's a little hard to swallow when there's so little chemistry between them.
