Review of Bringing Down the House (2003) by Lisa I — 15 Jan 2019
Steve Martin is such a legend that it is strange to envision a time(such as when this film came out) when he was in a slump of some proportions. This is a comedy about a lawyer who upon a divorce finds himself in close quarters with a woman who is diametrically different to what he wants or expects.
Bringing Down the House offers proof that there are times when superior performances can salvage a mediocre script. Despite working with a screenplay that would be deemed thin by some TV sit-coms, Steve Martin, Queen Latifah, and Eugene Levy combine to transform this motion picture into a rewarding movie-going experience.
The chief pleasure of Bringing Down the House is watching the stars interact. The best mentality to bring to the movie is that of watching a 105-minute series of comedy sketches. This film is a must watch for fans of comedy.
(Hilarious comedy starring Steve Martin and Queen Latifah).
