Constructed out of cliches, thinly written characters, and fundamental misunderstandings of human nature, House Arrest is a dull (and borderline irresponsible) waste of a talented cast. Read critic reviews

"Kids lock up parents": Terrible spoiled children. Terrible written screenplay.
-
Has some nice moments but was one of many mediocre movies around that time about parents splitting up.
-
I Think after a while, you see it's failed Attempt at a big blockbuster,and It's major Flaws.
-
This mean-spirited comedy only has very few laughs about the soon-to-be divorced couple's kids who decide to keep the parents locked in the basement for the best way to keep the family together.
