Houseguest
Fast-talking con man Kevin Franklin (Sinbad) is in over his head: He owes $50,000 to the mob, and they want to collect. In order to jump out of hot water, Kevin poses as a family friend in an affluent Pennsylvania suburb.

As good-natured as its big, beefy star, comedian Sinbad.July 13, 2005
Waste of Phil Hartman and SinbadJanuary 01, 2000
Like the housepest of the title, Sinbad's character here is more annoying than amusing and before the film is over you may just wish he'd go away.August 14, 2003
Who decided Sinbad needed to star in a movie and what should we do to them when we find out?May 20, 2003
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.January 01, 2000
Plot-wise, there's little here beyond a few insubstantial strands.May 27, 2003
Tedious and unfocused...the contrivance in this forgettable comedy is inexplicably unbearableAugust 12, 2009
Comedy at its most formulaic.January 01, 2000
A film that lacks solid construction from the ground up, something that can't be "fixed in the editing," I'm afraid.January 01, 2000
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.
