Pros: Martin, Latifah, Levy. Funny, entertaining movie. Cons: Could have been funnier. Racial jokes could offend some viewers.
I have been a fan of Steve Martin for many years. I have seen many of his movies and I usually enjoy them. I have decided to see more than one movie just because he was in it. In 2003, I first watched Brining Down the House. Peter ...
Pros: Very funny moments, quite good overall story Cons: Just doesn't live up to its potential, Martin not quite on form
I’ve never quite understood what happens with Steve Martin films. I like him as an actor and comedian, yet I’ve rarely thought his films were more than average. (And Parenthood was just depressing – surely that’s not meant to be the ...
Pros: Martin, Latifah and Levy Cons: too much racial humor
I've always found Steve Martin to be very funny, so when I saw the advertisements for Bringing Down the House, his presence was enough to get me interested in what looked to be a fairly low-brow comedy. It didn't hurt, either, that Queen Latifah ...
Pros: funny, great acting, famous names, overall plot Cons: not really what I was expecting, a bit predictable
Last night we decided to make this the 3rd week in a row of going out to the movies. Yes, yes - I love movies, and so does my wife. So we called up two friends and told them to meet us at Jack Astor’s. After that, we planned on going to see Bringing...
I've always said Queen Latifah was an enjoyable on-screen presence. Ever since "Brown Sugar," I have been waiting to see Latifah get a more significant role. In "Bringing Down the House," Latifah is given the chance to shine, but the movie's plot is...
Pros: Lots of good jokes and Steve Martin dressed as a "wigger." Cons: There were some light racial remarks.

I guess you could say the same for this movie. There are a few racial things I'd like to get out of the way before I go on. First I'd like you to know racial things...
Pros: some laughs, pretty good acting,esp.steve martin and eugene levy Cons: the unoriginality, the constant racial jokes, the exaggeration
Bringing Down the House is one of those new movies that try to prove a point that many other movies already made (take any of those Dangerous Minds-type movies for example): that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover (or rather: a hip-hop,...
Pros: a few scenes are amusing in an obvious way Cons: awkward plot, atrocious villains, too many parts seem resemble the serious moments of "Home Alone"
The catfight in "Bringing Down The House" was the point of no return - the moment when I decided the occasional fish-out-of-water almost-chuckles weren't worth the horrendous set-up and lazy execution.
Pros: Steve Martin and Queen Latifah have chemistry. Eugene Levy steals scenes Cons: Same old plot seen in dozens of movies and lame stereotypical secondary characters
Let me first say that there is not one original idea in the movie. It steals from movies like Uncle Buck, Houseguest and Steve Martin's own Housesitter about the the unwelcome guest moving in and making life better for the main lead and their kids.
