HouseSitter Movie
Newton Davis (Steve Martin) has loved Becky Metcalf (Dana Delany) since his schooldays. A talented architect, he builds a dream house in his hometown of Dobbs Mills and presents it to his sweetheart with a marriage proposal. But Becky rejects the offer, considering him to be an impulsive dreamer and loser. Heartbroken, Davis leaves his house abandoned and goes back to New York. Some time later, the architect ends up in a Hungarian restaurant to drown his sorrows in wine and meets an attractive waitress named Gwen (Goldie Hawn) to whom he hastily pours out his sad story. After spending one night together, Gwen decides to take advantage of the situation. She heads for Davis's native town, tracks down his house and takes up residence, pretending to be his wife. She promptly charges her purchases to the 'Newton Davis' account and gets acquainted with his parents and neighbors who are immediately taken with the open-hearted, romantic creature. When Davis shows up at his newly-built house, he finds himself surrounded by the neighbors who offer him their congratulations on his marriage and the store owners who want to get money...
