Bringing Down The House (Widescreen Edition) Summary The Hilarious Steve Martin (father Of The Bride) And Academy Award(r)-nominee Queen Latifah (best Supporting Actress, 2002, Chicago) Star With Eugene Levy (american Pie) In The Laugh-out-loud Hit Comedy Bringing Down The House. Peter Sanderson (martin), A Divorced, Straitlaced, Uptight Workaholic Attorney, Meets A Brainy Bombshell Lawyer In An On-line Chat Room And They Make A Date. Expecting His Soul Mate, He Opens The Door And Finds Himself Face-to-face With Charlene (latifah) -- A Wild And Crazy Soul "sister" Who's Just Escaped From Prison And Wants Peter To Clear Her Name. But Peter Wants Absolutely Nothing To Do With Her, And That Prompts Charlene To Turn Peter's Perfectly Ordered Life Totally Upside Down. Hysterical Complications Abound And Peter Soon Finds Out He May Need Charlene Just As Much As She Needs Him. It's A Houseful Of Fun Your Family Will Enjoy Again And Again.

The pleasingly contrasting comic styles of Queen Latifah and Steve Martin bring some energy to Bringing Down the House, a hopelessly formulaic comedy. Martin plays Peter, an uptight lawyer too obsessed with work to spend quality time with his kids. Into his life comes Queen Latifah as Charlene, an escaped convict who threatens to wreck his relationship with a wealthy but arch-conservative client (Joan Plowright, in high dudgeon) if Peter won't take up her case. Of course, Latifah's exuberant ways enchant his kids and bring out a looser, livelier side of Peter, all in a series of scenes so standard they hardly register. Thank goodness for Eugene Levy; as one of Peter's law partners with a taste for Charlene's bodacious brand of sexy, Levy's ingenious transformation from nebbish to loverman is the movie's secret weapon, stealthily planting comic explosions amidst the modest rice-krispie-crackle of the stale plot. --Bret Fetzer
