Eddie and Lou are a couple of two-bit con men on the lam from a loan shark. They hide out in someone's house and they hear on the answering machine that (A) the owner of the house is out of the country for a month or two and (B) the housesitter supposed to watch the house for the absent owner won't be able to watch the house due to a new job in another part of the country. This provides for a pretty nifty arrangement for Eddie and Lou...until the relatives of the house owner drop by to visit. Eddie quickly adopts the guise of the person supposedly housesitting for the owner, and the shenanigans start from there.

| New TimesLuke Y. ThompsonAi-yai-yai! Carvey's a really blank lead -- the brief Bush impersonation is all that's funny. |
| User ReviewHenrica FIf you have not seen this movie, then you are missing out on one of Dana Carvey's hidden gems... Even though this film is aproaching its 17th b-day the comedy is still great. A movie that is hidden, but for no reason. |
| User ReviewLuke SThe movie is about a con man, who ends up hitting it big. But when things start to go a little too far, Dana Carvy's realized something that he never realized before... He's in love. |
| User ReviewHeather CI love this movie! The humor and romance adds much to this wacky adventure! |
| User ReviewJesse GGreat work of comedy Dana Carvey. I am proud of your acting and intelligent ideas. I recommend that you're the best comedy ever! Let the laughs thrust in the air. |
| User ReviewKenneth RI have owned this on VHS for years. Love it! |
| User ReviewMonica TFunny ole- school movie. Good actors cute story line |
| User ReviewDenise Bgreat movie, I watched it many times as a kid. I need to see it again. |
| User ReviewRyan HA childhood favorite. I recently found out that my coworker is the guy dancing at the bar mitzvah. |
| User ReviewBen RGreat acting from Dana Carvey and a pretty good script. Hard to believe it was one of Carvey's first films. |
