House Arrest (1996)
Member Rating:  
Grover Reindorf (Kyle Howard) is a kid with a problem, which is how to keep his parents from divorcing. He hits on a solution that makes sense to him. Why not lock them up in the basement, and keep them there until they reconcile? He and his younger sister Stacey (Amy Sakasitz) agree to do just that, and they successfully lure their parents into the basement and lock them in. When their junior-high-school friends find out what they've done, they decide that their own misbehaving parents need exactly the same treatment. One after another, all are tricked into entering into the Reindorf's basement. Meanwhile, upstairs, the youngsters have a very mild good time, as they can't even bring themselves to swallow the champagne they try. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

There's not a suspenseful or really original moment in the movie, but if kids could make a movie about how stupid parents are in rushing to divorce, this is the movie they would make. A good family fun movie

Great family movie, the kids will love the story. This is also a good comedy that adults will also enjoy.

Totally great family movie. It makes you laugh so much. Hell I wish as a kid I could have done this to my parents for a while and get away with it.
