Bringing Down The House (57%)

Barbershop 2 - Back in Business (55%)

Plot: Queen Latifah lends her comic sparkle to The Cookout, a new comedy she also helped conceive. Todd Anderson (Quran Pender) becomes a first draft pick in professional basketball and starts spend...( read more read more... )ing like there's no tomorrow; he buys a car, diamonds for his golddigging girlfriend (Meagan Good), and a huge house in a gated community. But though his life has been turned upside down, his family hasn't--and when everyone assembles in his new ritzy neighborhood for a celebratory cook-out, chaos follows. The Cookout is loaded with charismatic performers, such as Jenifer Lewis (Juwanna Mann) as Todd's no-nonsense mother, Eve (Barbershop) as his former best friend, Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon) as a new neighbor, and the aforementioned Latifah (Bringing Down the House) as an over-ambitious security guard. Unfortunately, the underdeveloped script gives them little to do and nowhere to go. Many lessons are learned, but few laughs are had. --Bret Fetzer

    I don't need a movie about that thing Queen Latifah does on the weekend that prevents her from being thin or in-shape or whatever you want to call it. I can speculate.

    I really liked the new mansions in this movie, because it's gorgeous and it has a backyard swimming pool. :D

    Blah. A very stupid, unfunny comedy that has no point at all and is very uninspired. Queen Latifah, who plays the pychotic security guard, is the only good thing about it.
