Pros: Too funny!
Cons: none

This was the funniest movie I had seen in a long time! There was not a boring part in the movie. It had comedy, adventure, and suspense. If you think Queen Latifah was good in "Chicago", you have to see her in "Bringing Down the House"! The movie is...

Pros: Steve Martin Dancing, Queen Latifa
Cons: Racist characters given a "Pass" in the plot

The plot in this movie is pretty basic. Queen Latifa's character meets Steve Martin in a Law chat room and misleads him into thinking she's white, skinny, and a lawyer. She breaks out of jail and stops by Martin's suburban home in need of Martin's skills...

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...

Pros: This show is a heck of a lot of fun
Cons: LOTS of racist humor

I am NOT a Steve Martin fan, but I found this film a lot of fun. Steve plays Peter Sanderson, a conservative, workaholic tax attorney. His cell phone is more important to him than his ex-wife (played by Jean Smart) or children. In search of romance,...

Pros: Fun to watch and unfold. Not to mention Eugene Levy was pretty funny.
Cons: A few boring parts. Not as funny as it was made out to be.

Pros: Great acting, lots going on, and some pretty hilarious jokes!
Cons: Some may find the blatant racial slurs offensive (duh).

Uh-oh, guy meets girl on the internet. Could it be "You've Got Mail Part 2: Guess Who!" Not hardly.

Bringing Down The House gets that part over with real quickly, and spares you the embarrassment of having to watch a couple...

Pros: Steve Martin and Queen Latifah go together like peanut butter and jelly
Cons: Beginning was a little slow

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: The deeper messages dealing with a lot of "isms"
Cons: Um, just predictable, but that was ok.
