I have enjoyed this film since I was a kid. It is funny, outrageous and just cool. I really do not understand why this film is not out on dvd yet, baffling quite frankly! Also, this marks John Larouquette and Kirsty Alley at their best. The supporting cast in ridiculously funny and this is really a great exaggeration of what having houseguests are like -- for an extended period of time -- an unexpected long period of time -- that never ends -- FUNNY!

[...] Thanks!

There really should b some way the public could tell these movie distributers WHAT WE WANT ON DVD! We'll get Basic Instint 2 and The Postman on DVD before we get MadHouse! FOR SHAME!

I think this movie is so funny. I would love to own this on DVD, and I don't really understand why it isn't already, judging by all the other crap on DVD. If and when this is released on DVD I'll be sure to buy it.

This is one of the funniest movies ever made. Kirsti Alley and John Larroquette are fantastic together. You laugh clear through it, no matter how many times you watch it.

I like John Laroquette and Kirstie Alley and I truly enjoyed watching this funny movie called Madhouse which is about obnoxious houseguests. The situations in this movie with the obnoxious houseguests may be exaggerated but haven't you ever had a houseguest who was really annoying and you couldn't wait til they left? I recommend this movie to anyone who has ever had obnoxious houseguests and I would like to see this movie put out on DVD. (Widescreen!)

I have the VHS and I can say out of my video collection it is one of the funniest comedies I have seen for a while. The movie starts rather normal and snowballs into a complete disaster fo the main characters. My personal favorite moments are the Undead Cat and Kirsty Alley's breakdown(s) at her job (some of which hits almost too close to home). I will be one of the first in line to get this title when it is finally released to DVD (hopefully in widescreen)!

This is my favorite movie. I continue looking for a copy on DVD. It is a must seen prior to offering your home to guests. Oh they can be very very tricky, they may look like a brother, a sister, even your mother, but they're cockroaches. If there was a nuclear war the only thing to survive would be house guests!

Very funny, with a tongue in cheek account of what happens when in-laws move in for a short stay. I am waiting for it to be released on DVD.

This is definitely the movie to own. Although if it would come out as a DVD as a RErelease it would definitely be one you'd want to buy. It stars John Larroquette, Kirstie Alley, Dennis Miller, John Diehl, Alison LePlaca, Jessica Lundy. It starts off with Mark and Jessie Bannister (Larroquette and Alley) enjoying their home and what they're accomplished in it with the exception of their broken toilet. Jessie works for a TV news station doing nothing but surveys, Mark works at an insurance company and when they receive word that their good friends are coming to town to visit, that's when the excitement begins. The mysterious part is THE CAT. No matter how many times Scruffy the cat dies, he comes back. First the cat dies of drowning in the fish tank, then it dies of being squashed, then the cat dies of a crack overdose. The sick part is when they first encounter the cat and it showers cat vomit ALL.......OVER....THEM. And you can just see Kirstie Alley showered in it. When their friends start to leave and head back home, she slips and falls to the ground and ends up having to stay with them. OH Lundy leads them all to believe she's pregnant and ready to have a baby. But, it turned out she wasn't. Mark and Jessie do all they can to not just get rid of their friends but, Jessie's sister who gets thrown out (Alison LePlaca), their next door neighbor (John Diehl) and one mishap after another happens. I think this movie deserves a DVD RErelease and I hope Orion/Warner Bros. puts it out.

If you get to feeling your life is out of control, get yourself a copy of this movie. Take the whole weekend and watch it as many times in a row as you need to feel normal again. Do the words "Houseguests from Hell" ring any bells with you? This movie is a masterpiece of bad timing. I've seen it at least 50 times and never get tired of it. It's a comedy of the highest order. Give it a whirl, you won't be sorry you did!
