With John C. Reilly, Queen Latifah. 113 min.
Signature Film: Bringing Down The House [DVD] (2003) Riotously funny comedy hit starring Steve Martin as a tightly-wound, divorced tax attorney who gets a surprise when he meets the woman he's been corresponding with on the Internet.

Latifah winds up helping the stodgy lawyer loosen up and win back his estranged kids and ex-wife. With Eugene Levy, Jean Smart, Joan Plowright and Betty White. 105 min.
