Bringing Down The House
The hilarious Steve Martin (Father Of The Bride) and Academy Award-nominated Queen Latifah (Chicago) star in the blockbuster, laugh-out-loud comedy BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE. Peter Sanderson (Martin), a divorced, straitlaced, uptight workaholic attorney, meets a brainy, bombshell barrister in an online 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.

Critic Reviews:
- " A comedy that successfully plays with stereotypes, both racial and personal. " – Jami Bernard
- " 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. " – Stella Papamichael
- " Each performer charms the audience by presenting characters we like even when we shouldn't. " – Forrest Hartman
