HouseSitter is a 1992 comedy movie starring Steve Martin, Goldie Hawn and Dana Delany. It was directed by Frank Oz, and written by Mark Stein.

Newton Davis (Martin) is an up-and-coming architect. After building his dream house for himself and his longtime girlfriend (Delany), he is crushed when she refuses to marry him. Subsequently, unable to bring himself to live in the house, he is stuck with a house and debt he cannot afford.

One night at a Hungarian restaurant, he meets Gwen Phillips (Hawn), a waitress at the restaurant. He spills out his sob story and draws a picture of the house on a napkin. He is so open at this point because he believes she cannot speak English. Later when he runs into her outside the restaurant, he learns she actually can speak English. They have a nice talk, a walk, and end up spending the night together.

The next morning at Gwen's apartment, Newton has disappeared. But he unnintentionally left behind the drawing of his house. Having mentioned the town where he built the cottage, Gwen takes a bus ride out to see the home. Knowing no one lives there, she decides to take up residence in the empty domicile. The rest of the movie revolves around this premise. Gwen is living in Newton's house—at first without his knowledge—and claims to be his wife. Newton finally discovers what Gwen has done, and is furious at first. However, he decides to use Gwen's ability to lie believably in order to win his girlfriend back. However, by the end of the film, Newton and Gwen end up together.

According to RottenTomatos.com, Newton's dream house was designed by New York architects Trumbull & Associates. Furthermore, in Christopher Lukenbeal's 1995 master's thesis "A Geography in Film, A Geography of Film," he quotes Debra Wassman of the firm: "the house is the real star of the film." Copies of the plans are now sold by Princeton Plans Press.
