not what i was expecting (1.8/8),
By
This review is from: Bringing Down the House (DVD)
for me,this movie was very disappointing.for one thing,itis marketed as a comedy,yet,in my opinion it is a drama/action movie.there are a few mildly funny scenes,and maybe 1 or 2 very funny scenes.otherwise,this isn't a funny movie.the the subject matter is fairly dark,also.especially the dramatic scenes.there is a bit of action thrown in.however,if you are expecting a drop dead funny comedy,and instead end up watching a fairly dark drama,you might be disappointed.i wish studios would stop what almost amounts to false advertising,but that's how they hook people.if i remember correctly,almost all the funny bits were in the trailer.but everybody has different tastes,so some people may find the movie hysterical.anyway,that's just my opinion.i'd have to give 'Bringing Down the House' 1.8/5 at best

I couldn't last half a freakin hour into this dung!,
This review is from: Bringing Down the House (DVD)
Steve Martin is an excellent comedian and Queen Latifah was absolutley fabulous in the musical "Chicago" and the movie's plot idea was very interesting, the idea of a wealthy businessman having his world intermingle with that of a poor (lacking a lot of money) woman who is in trouble with the law. Sadly however, this movie squanders everything that could've made this movie great. The acting is absolutely atrocious and the script is horrible and without any strengths. Steve Martin really drops the ball with awful acting and embarrassing attempts at humor. He's better than that. Queen Latifah fares little better. What also kills this movie for me is how offensive and excessively stereotypical it is. The dumbest part for me was when the character played by Martin dresses up as some hip-hop raver just made me laugh in derision at the scene. Not that it's obscene but it's just such a massive joke for such a talented actor to really slip on a banana peel like this. What were you thinking Steve? (Shakes head) I also hated the stereotypes that this movie seems to bring up about the African-American societies in this country even though in some ways we are still quite polarized. BDTH is complete rubbish and should be depolymerized immediately because it's a waste of natural resources and we cannot afford to waste them on making such God-awful movies. End of story!

I agree with whoever said "painfully unfunny.",

I'm still a Steve Martin fan, but I'm amazed that he could make something this lousy. A weak story, with weak attempts at humor.I agree with the other negative comments about this one. A very talented guy who made a turkey, I'd say.
