Bringing Down the House (2003)

When tax attorney Steve Martin opens his door to the woman he thought he had been corresponding with online, he instead finds Queen Latifah, an escaped felon who wants his help in clearing her name. She soon ingratiates herself to him and his family so he offers his assistance. I generally find Queen Latifah very likable, but she has been in a number of stinkers in her career and this is one of them. It’s mostly forgettable except for its very broad racial stereotypes, especially those coming from racist neighbor Betty White.
