Though the cast shines, they can't save this comedy, which is overly contrived and filled with outdated and offensive racial jokes. Read critic reviews

Though 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. 4/5
-
You think that Steve Martin and Queen Latifah would be good together, but NOooooooooo, this combination sucked. It lacks a smart script, and funny jokes.

A great feel good comedy!

This Movie reminds me a little bit of the Movie House Sitter?
