Bringing Down the House (2003)

I cannot believe some of the negative comments made on this film. Sure it is never going to win any Oscars but this was real "sit back and laugh" film. On many occasions I was laughing uncontrollably

Both Martin and Latifah were excellent in this film. Is it me or was Steve Matins wife in this film a honey or what.?

If you like your humor tongue in cheek and can laugh off the racist innuendos then give this film a go.

People who call this film dire need to have a comedy check over.

Fmovies: This movie had a bunch of funny turn of events. This movie was a good time to sit through. I really enjoyed watching it and owning it. The movie with Up Tight lawyer Peter Sanderson(Steve Martin) who seems to have too many problems, he's going through a divorce, he trying to represent a million dollar client. But he has a on line chat pal named lawyer girl. But he finds out that lawyer girl is Charlene(Queen Latifah) a former convict, and fun loving sister from the hood, who wants Peter to help prove her innocence. Peter is about to discover that his quiet life is about to be turned upside down. Steve Martin and Queen Latifah had such funny chemistry together. I hope they make another funny movie together.

I love this movie, it is one of my favorite movies. I think it is one of the funniest movies ever. The first time I saw it I was laughing so hard that I couldn't breathe. Steve Martin and Queen Latifah are so funny together. There are so many scenes in this movie that are so hilarious like the scene where Charlene and Ashley get in a fist fight in the ladies room, the scene where Mrs. Arness comes to Peter's house for dinner, the scene where Charlene is trying to teach Peter how to turn Kate on, and my personal favorite scene the scene where Peter goes undercover in the bar. The acting in this movie is great and it's just a really really funny movie, I'd urge anyone to see it cause I think it's one of the funniest movies ever.

Bringing Down the House fmovies. I loved this movie!It was so funny I broke out in laughter six or seven times through the movie.Steve Martin's wise cracks keep the movie entertaining,and the acting and plot are great.I enjoyed this movie alot.Queen Latifah is great with her tough biker chick role,beating up women AND men that give her a hard time.I hope black people did'nt take offense to this movie,because in a way it mocked black people.It's just a very funny enjoyable movie,not to be taken seriously or offensive.I loved every minute of it!

My mom has been begging for me to watch Bringing Down the House, especially since I've been getting more into Steve Martin. He brought me nothing but laughter with Bowfinger, Little Shop of Horrors, and now Bringing Down the House. He and Queen Latifa make such a great comedic duo, this movie was in no way over the top or stereotypical, at least of the sense where I think you couldn't find it offensive. For those who did find it offensive, I think you probably watched this movie in a serious mood, because how could you not laugh?

Steve Martin plays Peter Sanderson, a straight up-tight business man who won't get his priorities right with his family and work, he expects to meet a beautiful, intelligent, and blond white lawyer he met off the internet, but instead gets Charlene, a tough soul sister who has just escaped prison and wants Peter to get her name cleared. She claims she is innocent and she won't leave Peter alone until he helps out, through the madness of trying to play Peter off as a business man and trying to get his family back, Charlene teaches him a thing or two along with him teaching her as well.

There are just some hilarious scenes, my favorite I think was the cat fight scene between Charlene and Peter's ex sister in-law. That was just hilarious! I also loved Steve getting accepted at a hard core gangsta's club and the last scene of Charlene and her new boyfriend, Howie. Steve and Queen were so cool together and I would highly recommend this film!

9/10

This movie was amazing, Steve Martin and Queen Latifah are a great team they made the whole movie so much fun. When Peter Sanderson (Martin) expects a date with a classy lawyer at his home, instead a large loud woman just out of prison Charlene (Latifah), appears on his doorstep and comes into his home and his life with a bang! At the end of this hilarious movie after a whole lot of havoc Charlene and Peter actually build up a good relationship despite their differences. All of the cast were brilliantly picked including Peters hilarious assistant (Eugene Levy) Mrs Arness (Joan Plowright) and The Sanderson kids, they all contributed to making this film the movie of 2003!
