Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
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.

fresh:
As good-natured as its big, beefy star, comedian Sinbad.
– Kevin Thomas,

fresh:
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.

rotten:
Plot-wise, there's little here beyond a few insubstantial strands.
