Movie Description
Powerhouse diva Queen Latifah shows her versatility and wide range of singing, dancing, and acting talents in these drastically different films.
BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE: Peter Sanderson (Steve Martin) is a divorced workaholic L.A. lawyer trying to forget his ex-wife (Jean Smart). Successful but lonely, Peter falls for an online chat buddy and is eager to meet his dream girl, until he meets the real woman behind the screen name and realizes she is nothing like he thought. Instead of a svelte blonde businesswoman, he comes face to face with Charlene Morton (Queen Latifah), a sassy African-American ex-con who is eager to infiltrate Peter's stereotypically uptight white suburban world. Charlene wants Peter to defend her and prove she's innocent of a crime that she didn't commit, but Peter wants nothing to do with the fast-talking homegirl. However, Peter's geeky best friend Howie (Eugene Levy) feels differently and begins to woo her with "hip" street lingo and hilariously deadpan come-ons. Soon enough, Charlene is shacked up in Peter's palatial estate, throwing wild parties and opening his eyes to life, love, and infectious freedom. Steve Martin and Queen Latifah are a fresh and dynamic comic team in this very funny spin on the black-white buddy comedy that is a mixture of PRETTY WOMAN and THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR.
CHICAGO: This Rob Marshall adaptation of the classic Broadway musical sparkles with glamour and reverberates with the energy of good old-fashioned song and dance. As the film leaps into its riveting first act, Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones), who sings and dances in an duo with her equally glamorous sister, arrives at the night club alone, late, and disheveled, with blood on her hands. Nonetheless, she goes onstage and wows the crowd with her shimmying rendition of "All That Jazz." Roxie Hart (Renee Zellweger) a young blonde who dreams of someday being famous like Velma, watches from the audience with eyes full of envy. Later, the cops pick up Velma for the murder of her sister, sending her fame to all-time heights as she becomes a tabloid sensation. Roxie also commits a crime of passion: she shoots a lover who falsely promised to secure her cabaret debut. The girls wind up together in jail, where Mama Morton (Queen Latifah), a compassionate guard, is their only hope of redemption; and Billy Flynn (Richard Gere) is the lawyer who can get them out. There, through wonderfully familiar songs like "Razzle Dazzle," "Cell-Block Tango," and "Cellophane Man," Roxie and Velma tell their story of competing for bad-girl celebrity.
