Turns out to be an inane fish-out-of-water comedy. Along the way it turns into a virtual McDonald's commercial, too. The fact that you can hardly tell the difference is a good clue to the movie's bad-television flavor.
Overview
In hot water with the mob over an unpaid debt, a con man poses as a family friend in an affluent Pennsylvania suburb.
Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
As good-natured as its big, beefy star, comedian Sinbad.
In its worst moments, Houseguest becomes a struggle in which a very human comedian fights to project his personality over the director's technological muddle. But the good news is that Sinbad wins.
Plot-wise, there's little here beyond a few insubstantial strands.
