Sinopsis
(All Movie Guide)
A man looking for a woman
just like himself ends up with someone quite different in this farcical
comedy. Peter Sanderson (Steve
Martin) is a lawyer who is having trouble getting
his life back on track after his wife, Kate (Jean
Smart), divorces him; he's also adjusting to his new
status as a single father. Looking for companionship, Peter tries an internet
dating site and virtually meets "lawyer-girl," an attractive and single fellow
attorney. Peter makes a date with her, but the woman who arrives at his door
turns out to be Charlene Morton (Queen
Latifah), who not only isn't a lawyer, she turns out
to be an escaped convict. Charlene is also a brash and brassy
African-American, while Peter is perhaps the most tightly wound white guy in
L.A. Charlene explains to Peter that she's strung him along because she's
innocent of the crime for which she was convicted, and she needs a top-notch
attorney to help prove her case. Peter isn't the least bit interested at
first, but Charlene isn't the sort of woman to take "no" for an answer, and in
time she wears him down and agrees to help. As Charlene moves into Peter's
home, she helps him to loosen up and unleash his inner groove, which quite
surprises Kate, and her down-to-earth advice comes in handy for Peter's son
and daughter. But Charlene may end up going too far when Peter is asked to
entertain Mrs. Arness (Joan
Plowright), a wealthy woman looking for a new law
firm.
Bringing Down the House also features
Eugene Levy
as Howie, one of Peter's friends who takes a keen interest in Charlene, and
Betty
White as one of Peter's neighbors.
