Bringing Down The House

[tacomax]

Looks like they've finally made a decent film about it. Never quite understood the Steve Martin/Queen Latifah interpretation a few years back.

Here's the trailer, 'scuse the adverts at the start:

Yeah this looks like a pretty good movie.


Here is the trailer with no adverts from youtube

Peter Sanderson is a divorced, straight-laced, uptight attorney who still loves his ex-wife and can't figure out what he did wrong to make her leave him. However, Peter's trying to move on, and he's smitten with a brainy, bombshell barrister he's been chatting with online. However, when she comes to his house for their first face-to-face, she isn't refined, isn't Ivy League, and isn't even a lawyer. Instead, it's Charlene, a prison escapee who's proclaiming her innocence and wants Peter to help her clear her name. But Peter wants nothing to do with her, prompting the loud and shocking Charlene to turn Peter's perfectly ordered life upside down, jeopardizing his effort to get back with his wife and woo a billion dollar client.

We're talking about what is seemingly a pretty decent gambling movie and you start talking about the frickin' Red Shoe Diaries.

it looks like a good cast, which is rare for a gambling movie so it should be a decent flick
