Details: PARENTHOOD: Director Ron Howard teams with Steve Martin and an allstar cast to create a hilarious, touching and unforgettable portrait of life's most rewarding occupation in Parenthood. Steve Martin stars as Gil Buckman, a funny and loving husband who's also trying too hard to be the 'perfect' parent to his uniquely different kids. As Gil and the rest of the Buckmans discover, being the 'perfect' parent often means just letting children be themselves. Rick Moranis, Keanu Reeves, Martha Plimpton, Jason Robards, Mary Steenburgen and Dianne Wiest also star in this family affair you'll want to watch again and again! HOUSESITTER: Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn star in this hilarious romantic comedy about the consequences of "stretching" the truth. When architect Newton Davis' girlfriend Becky (Dana Delany) turns down his marriage proposal, his newly-built dream house suddenly becomes nothing more than an empty monument to her rejection. That is, until a chance encounter with Gwen (Hawn) turns his life upside down. Intrigued by Newton's story, Gwen visits the house and decides to move in on her own. Resourceful and creative, Gwen is soon fixing up the house and charming Newton's family and neighbors - and all the while passing herself off as his new wife! Gwen even befriends Becky, who begins to see a Newton she never knew existed. Horrified at the deception yet unable to stop it, Newton finds himself playing along with his preposterous stories, his attempts at reconciling differences within the family and his campaign for his promotion at work. Finally, he convinces Gwen to fabricate their "divorce" so he can still get married to Becky - until he has a change of heart. It's a delightful, warmhearted and intelligent comedy from director Frank Oz.
