GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Predrag This is a charming, light, sweet screwball comedy, with an excellent ensemble cast all wonderful in their roles. Goldie Hawn beautifully plays a charming, off-beat con artist, whose pathological lying and skewed take on reality unwittingly lead her to bring about genuine love and kindness. Along the way, she reunites a family; sheds light on the old flame of her "victim" Steve Martin (exposing the motivations of the woman who broke his heart); and creates two new families proving that, in the movies at least, you may be able to make a silk purse from a sow's ear.Both Hawn and Martin excel in their roles and they work really well together. Hawn's kooky and lovable small con-artist is perfect against Martin's straight laced conservative architect and the strange double life they have to lead, due to their constant lies, makes for an entertaining story. They are ably supported by a great cast of character actors and the character combinations make for some great scenes.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

jb_campo My wife wanted to watch this so I reluctantly joined her. It turned out to be a decent comedy. Both Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn played their roles well. Martin is an architect who builds this new house, and Goldie Hawn is this kind of con artist who worms her way into living there, and eventually pretending that she is his wife.They are both really great with tales. The way they could spin stories on the fly to any and everyone was just fun to watch. Had me laughing pretty regularly. Also, since we live in MA, we kept trying to guess what city/cities they used for Dobbs Mills town. The architecture firm owner, don't know his name, was also very good. Dana Delancy plays this spiffy preppy woman, and I really didn't like her that much, which I think means she did an OK job. It was hard to figure out if the Director was trying to get you to root for her or for Goldie Hawn.Anyhow, it comes in at 90 minutes and I would recommend it to catch Martin and Hawn when they were still young enough to pull this off. Enjoy.

mattkratz This is the opposite of The Invention of Lying, and has a scene that will remind you of What About Bob. (if you've seen that) Steve Martin plays an architect who builds a dreamhouse with the intention of moving into it after he proposes to his girlfriend-unfortunately, she says no. He then has a chance encounter with a waitress (Goldie Hawn), who overhears his story, and decides to check out the vacant house, and turns it into HER dreamhouse. The thing is, she's brilliant at spinning stories and lies off the top of her head, and is totally charming while doing so, and convinces everyone in town, including Martin's parents, that they're married;however, Martin has no clue till he comes over to try and sell the house. Upon discovering her there and what's happening, he has no choice but to play along and try his hand at spur-of-the-moment lying himself.Hawn and Martin work well in the leads, everyone else works well together, and the movie is pretty funny from start to finish. Hawn is perfect in her part. If you like comedies, you will like this one. You can probably guess the outcome midway thru due to formula, but you will have lots of fun along the way.** 1/2 out of ****

TxMike This movie from 1992 is very lightweight but enjoyable. Mainly for the two main characters, played by Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn. Each of them are so likable, and together it just doubles the enjoyment. Martin has been silver-haired for so long, when we sere them in this movie we take it for granted he is an older man to Hawn's younger woman. In fact, both of them were born in 1945, and both were around 45 or 46 here during filming.Steve Martin is associate architect Newton Davis, itching to make it big but mired in a large firm. One fateful evening after a function, he finds out that the "Hungarian" waitress is really an American. He is attracted to her, they go outside, it begins to rain, he ends up at her spartan apartment above the restaurant, he spends the night. Goldie Hawn is the waitress, Gwen Phillips. When she wakes up the next morning she is surprised to find Newton gone. She doesn't know how to contact him, but has saved a napkin he used to draw a sketch of a house he designed and built in his small home town.When she gets thrown out of her apartment, she does what a very enterprising person might, she takes a bus to the small town and uses the sketch on the napkin to find the house. Vacant, she moves in, starts furnishing the place, and tells the local that she is Mrs Davis, his wife. Even Newton's parents! She becomes the unauthorized "house sitter."All this sets the stage for the comedy that ensues. Martin and Hawn are perfect together, they make a good comedic team.
