Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Pittsburgh

Houseguest is a 1995 American comedy film starring Sinbad and Phil Hartman and directed by Randall Miller, released to theaters in the United States on January 6, 1995 by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution to negative reviews from critics.

Production

In February 1993, Sinbad signed a deal with The Walt Disney Company for a 13 episode television show and a pay or play deal for the film. Phil Hartman joined it in March 1994.

Some scenes for the film were shot and it was filmed between May 9 and June 30, 1994 on location at the Pittsburgh International Airport, Pittsburgh's historic Hill District and South Side, Downtown Pittsburgh, and the Sewickley suburb. Since Sewickley does not have a McDonald's, production built a complete functional one at the Bruegger's Bagels location which remained open for business during the shoot before being closed and dismantled.
