    • Trivia
      John Candy was the first choice to play Kevin Franklin, but he died before filming began.
    • Goofs
      When Kevin and Gary are cooking burgers at the end of the movie, they flip half cooked patties, put cheese on them, and as the camera is panning away, they are flipping them again. Nobody flips patties once the cheese is on them.
    • Quotes

      [Kevin's shipment of baseball cards come in]

      Kevin Franklin: The entire 1994 baseball season, know what I'm saying? I got Ken Griffey Jr. here, Barry Bonds, Jose Canseco. People spend big money for baseball cards, but if they get hurt, it's even worth more money! Say one of them's going to the car after the game, gets hit - pow! I don't wanna see it happen, but if it does, I'm getting paid!

    • Crazy credits
      Sinbad and Phil Hartman sing several food-themed parodies over the closing credits with music and a chorus in the background. Phil Hartman uses the name "Sinbad" during them instead of either of his character's names from the movie.

    Too much funny scenes here

    It's quite a shame this film is way underrated at 5.5 stars over 10. While a dumb boring movie like How to Deal gets .2 star higher, I guess many of those who watched Houseguest simply have bad taste.

    Oh well, Sinbad's talent can never be better than what he exhausted here. Really funny how he can't help but grab that McDonald's burger from his friend's hands. And that splash of soft-serve ice cream scene, that was hilarious.

    I want to see more Sinbad films in the future.
