It's a wheezing, rusted machine of cheap jokes, cartoon performances, and crummy plotting, using shock value and insensitivity to make its painfully unfunny points.December 22, 2010

If you've seen the commercials for Bringing Down the House, you already know the movie's best moments and most memorable lines...March 09, 2003
The material is thin and pandering and almost criminally negligent in bypassing opportunities for humor.March 18, 2003
You have somebody as smart as Steve Martin, and as smart and appealing as Queen Latifah in a movie like this. To have such an awful, offensive story is a real disappointment.March 07, 2003
It's a sorry situation when actors as talented and funny as Queen Latifah and Steve Martin waste their efforts in an offensive exercise that feels like a bad sitcom.March 11, 2003
A Film in Which Steve Martin Will Appear in Full Hip-Hop Drag With Appropriate Slang for Not Less Than Six Minutes.May 12, 2012
Everything about this film is painfully familiar, except, perhaps, for the vicious-but-comic catfight between Latifah and Missi Pyle, who plays a high-society gold digger.October 07, 2003
Irreverent but perhaps not funny enough, "Bringing Down the House" gives Queen Latifah the chance to shine opposite Steve Martin.April 22, 2003
A comedy that successfully plays with stereotypes, both racial and personal.April 29, 2009
You're better off ignoring this junk and saving your time.
