Bringing Down the House

[Bob Chebat]

This movie is not as funny throughout the whole film as the previews make it out to be, but it definitely has some very hilarious moments.

I thought Steve Martin was digging a little for his comedic roots at times, but Eugene Levy and Queen Latifah really picked up the slack.

This is a great follow up to Old School in the ways of comedies for this year.

Saw some trailers for a few new ones...

Daddy Daycare with Eddie Murphy
Head of State with Chris Rock
The In-Laws with Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks (remake)

All three look promising, although I still prefer the original In-Laws with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin.

They're remaking the In-Laws? BAH. Hollywood is so tired. Leave a gem alone.

I cant believe that Head of State looks promising. I'm so disappointed with Chris Rocks career direction. He used to play up the stereotypes and stuff, but at least there was a backbone of social commentary and stuff. Now he's just making mindless comedy full of stereotypes with no redeeming value. A white house full of rich politicians in tuxes booty shaking? Please.

The thing I liked most was the fact that the trailer didn't give away the funniest scenes.

I just watched it. Eugene Levy was the highlight of the movie. I thought this was the typical simple comedy that plays off of stereotypes. I laughed a few times, but overall it’s a pretty forgettable movie.
