Steve Martin is Peter Anderson, an uptight work obsessed tax
attorney who gets a surprise when he meets up with a lady he has been talking
to online. Under the impression he has been talking to a TV reporter, he is
shocked when he meets Charlene (Queen Latifah), an ex-convict who has escaped from
prison and wants Peter to help overturn her conviction.
As Peter juggles to secure a big deal at work with looking
after his children and keeping Charlene under control, he realises that with
her street talk and own way of doing things, Charlene doesn’t take no for an
answer and ends up offering her a place to stay.
While Charlene makes herself at home, she helps look out for
Peter’s children Sarah and Georgey, but as Peter learns more about her and why
she was in prison, he has no idea what he’s let himself in for.
Co-starring Missy
Pyle, Angus T Jones (Two & a half men) and Eugene Levy, Bringing Down the House is a comedy
caper which plays to Steve Martin’s strengths as a comedy king – it made me
laugh out loud and I really enjoyed it.
Definitely worth a watch.
