I watched a movie in around 1995 that I am almost sure was a 80's flick. Of course, can't remember name. It is a young man and his friend, who go in to rob a very rich house, and while they are there they hear the answering maching take two messages. One is the owner telling the guy who is supposed to housesit, that he is going to stay on his trip for another month (or something like that) then the robber hears a second message from the housesitter, saying he hopes the owners trip went well, and he's sorry he wasn't there to see him come home, but he had to get somewhere else. Well....the (lead role) burgler...played by a caucasion, brown haired (if I remember right) guy in his late 20's early 30's decides to housesit, and take advantage of the very cool, house with all sort of fancy gadgets...house wide stereo, lighting at the sound of the voice, etc..... It was hilarious. He ends up becoming an executive, maybe even a VP, and everything is going great for him, until the owner is coming home. I don't remember exactly how it ends. Nor, do I remember who played in it. But, I would love to knoow the name of this movie. Thanks, Christine

It sounds like Opportunity Knocks with Dana Carvey.

Oh, yes, I was wondering...can anyone...maybe you Bob C., remember why this is rated PG-13? I don't remember anything in the film that wasn't family oriented.???Can you??? Any help would be appreciated. I don't want it if there is a sex scene or bad language, sexual references, etc... Sounds crazy, maybe, but I am very particular about the movies I watch...more information than anyone needed to know, but...just explaining why I ask.
