Editorial Reviews

Mr. & Mrs. Beindorf's first mistake was telling their children. The second was letting the kids lock them in the basement. Now they're being held hostage until they work it out. But if that's not bad enough kids all over the neighborhood have heard about it and suddenly parents everywhere are being kidnapped and brought to the Beindorf basement! On the one hand it's a great opportunity for the parents to work out their problems. On the other it's a great opportunity for their kids to have fun! Will the parents ever escape? Why would the kids ever let them? You can only find out in HOUSE ARREST- the hilarious comedy that's guaranteed to bring families closer together? one way or another!Running Time: 110 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 026359129629

4.0 out of 5 stars A Lot of Fun, March 2, 2003
This review is from: House Arrest [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This movie is a lot of fun. The basic plot is, two kids Grover and Stacey, lock their parents in the basement after they break the news that they are getting seperated. Grover and Stacey think that all they need is time to work out their problems. Soon Grover's friends decide their parents could use some help, and bring them over. The kids try to help their parents as the parents try to escape. A nosy neighbour across the street is constantly watching, but the kids are determined to get their parents back together. This movie is definitley fun for the whole family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Guilty Pleasure, November 5, 2008
By 
This review is from: House Arrest (DVD)
I am so glad this movie is finally available in widescreen! It has definitely been a guilty pleasure of mine for some time. They really assembled a great cast here. And the premise is cool. Granted it's not really plausible but who cares, it's just a movie!

4.0 out of 5 stars A very funny and heartwarming family movie!, January 20, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: House Arrest [VHS] (VHS Tape)
If you have kids fourteen and under, I think they'll really enjoy this movie. Jamie Lee Curtis and Kevin Pollak play a couple who get locked in the basement by their children because the children think they need to spend more time together. Soon other kids decide their parents need some "time out" too, which leads to many very funny situations between the kids and their parent-hostages. Our children loved seeing Jennifer Love Hewitt, one of the stars of "Party of Five," and we really enjoyed Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Pollak, and Jennifer Tilly. A lot of fun! END
