One of my favorite romantic comedies., 27 June 2003
10/10
Author: sportskid1164 from DG, IL

Housesitter is very clever and it had me laughing throughout the whole movie. The acting is terrific, also. I havn't laughed harder at a movie this year! My fav scene was when it showed goldie hawn at dancing lessons! It's hilarious.

Steve & Goldie are a perfect match!

Very entertaining! 7/10
