Bringing Down the House : 2 of 5
9.15.2003 9:43 PM \| Link	I think I put this movie in my Netflix queue back during it's theatrical release, just because I like Steve Martin and my parents thought it was a funny film. I can say with certainty that I've seen many worse films, but on the other hand, I've seen a million better ones. Steve is still a funny guy, but this material just isn't good enough for him to work with - he's so much better than the "white guy adopts black mannerisms" schitck. Eugene Levy is so much funnier than the role he plays here, and even though Latifah is likable, I would much rather see her singing (like in Chicago). I know this is just supposed to be a fun story, but the plot is so unbelievable that I ended up shaking my head more than laughing. Still, at least I did laugh a little, so it wasn't completely bad (just mostly). Labels: dvds
