Houseguest
Dir: Randall Miller
1995
*
A likable but loud Black man somehow ends up faking the identity of a learned Dentist and spends a week with a polite White Family. During this week he gets the anally-retentive White folks to loosen up a bit by making them dance and eat meat. Even in 1995, it's hard to imagine who thought this was a good idea, who green lit it and who honestly thought it would make money? I actually quite like Sinbad and I miss the great Phil Hartman but with a story and script this bad it is easy to see why the former hasn't worked much since. I can only recommend this film to people with the lowest of expectations.
