“An engaged couple's new dream home comes with one small catch -- a perennial party animal who lives in the guesthouse.”

The Good

Funny more often than not, fun to watch, and packed full of more T&A than an entire season of an HBO series, Guest House is the perfect escape from this nightmare of a year. R-rated for a reason, you will want to wait for the kids to go to bed before you watch this one - and at just under an hour and a half, you might just finish the entire thing before falling asleep on the couch.

It was great to see Pauly Shore back in the mix, and I honestly feel like he thrives with this no-holds-barred style comedy. Often feeling like an SNL skit, Guest House has a ridiculous amount of great cameos in the supporting cast, including Steve-O, Lou Ferrigno, Lou Ferrigno Jr., YouTube comedy star Ed Bassmaster, Erik Griffin (Workaholics), and Chris Kattan (A Night at the Roxbury). It felt like the entire cast was having a blast from start to finish, and I would honestly love to see some more Pauly Shore in the near future.

The Bad

The acting is often average at best, and the script could have been written by a 5th grader, but to be honest I expected that. It starts off with that teetering feeling of “should I just cut my losses and turn put something else on”, but just give it a chance it will grow on you. Guest House doesn’t hide from it’s stupidity, and for me that might be the best part. Just keep the expectations in check and it will all work out just fine.

The Verdict

Guest House is a no BS raunchy over-the-top comedy that is surely best enjoyed under the influence, and I have no issue with that. If you want to throw something on that will make you laugh and may even warrant another viewing, this is it. Just prepare for lots of drugs and nudity (mostly female). Am I grading on a curve because of the previously mentioned nudity? Perhaps, but isolation can have that effect on people. Recommended.
