It's quite a mess, this catastrophe -- a racially offensive mess, too.
June 12, 2003 | Full Review… -
A comedy that successfully plays with stereotypes, both racial and personal.
April 22, 2003 | Rating: 2.5/4 -
The friction between [Martin's] button-down lawyer, Peter Sanderson, and ghetto-fabulous fugitive Charlene Morton (Queen Latifah) produces dazzling comic sparks in an otherwise stale set-up.
April 15, 2003 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… -
You have somebody as smart as Steve Martin, and as smart and appealing as Queen Latifah in a movie like this. To have such an awful, offensive story is a real disappointment.
March 18, 2003 -
A comedy constructed from tapped-out ideas.
March 14, 2003 | Rating: C- -
A Film in Which Steve Martin Will Appear in Full Hip-Hop Drag With Appropriate Slang for Not Less Than Six Minutes.

Audience Reviews for Bringing Down the House

Aug 01, 2013Though it's slightly emphatic from the amount of racial humor, Bringing Down the House is a charming comedy. Steve Martin is slick and humorous as only he can do. Combine that with the stylish and pizzazz of one Queen Latifah, along with a sleek amount of supporting actors, you've got yourself quite the cast. 4/5Eugene B Super Reviewer

Apr 30, 2012You think that Steve Martin and Queen Latifah would be good together, but NOooooooooo, this combination sucked. It lacks a smart script, and funny jokes.Sylvester K Super Reviewer
