Housesitter

Housesitter receives mixed but generally positive reception, with critics consistently praising the chemistry between Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn while criticizing the slow first act. The film finds its comedic stride once Hawn's character begins her elaborate deceptions, with reviewers particularly enjoying the escalating lies and the warmth she brings to Newton's relationships. While some found the premise implausible and Hawn too old for the role, most critics appreciated it as pleasant, feel-good entertainment.
