Luckily, Kevin runs into Gary Young who's awaiting the arrival of a summer camp friend who he hasn't seen in 25 years. Kevin immediately assumes the identity of Gary's childhood friend and must use quick double-talk to convince Gary and his family that he truly remembers their beautifully shared past. Soon, the Young family becomes deeply attached to their new houseguest... that is, until the thugs make a surprise visit and reveal that it's all been a ruse. [More]

  • Houseguest
  • Get ready for riotous laughs as funnymen Sinbad (THE SINBAD SHOW) and Phil Hartman (SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, NEWSRADIO) team up in this outrageous comedy hit! Sinbad is Kevin Franklin, a get-rich-quick con man who escapes the mob by impersonating the long-lost friend of an uptight businessman (Hartman) -- and moving in with his family! Soon this wily con artist is struggling to find out who he's pretending to be ... a wine expert, a golfer, or even a dentist! But when the family starts to see through his act, and the mob catches on to his scam, Kevin finds his escapade as a "houseguest" is suddenly much more than he bargained for!
