|  "One of the funniest movies ever!" -- Larry King
The hilarious Steve Martin (Father Of The Bride) and Academy Award®-nominee Queen Latifah (Best Supporting Actress, 2002, Chicago) star with Eugene Levy (American Pie) in the laugh-out-loud hit comedy Bringing Down The House. Peter Sanderson (Martin), a divorced, straitlaced, uptight workaholic attorney, meets a brainy bombshell lawyer in an on-line chat room and they make a date. Expecting his soul mate, he opens the door and finds himself face-to-face with Charlene (Latifah) -- a wild and crazy soul "sister" who's just escaped from prison and wants Peter to clear her name. But Peter wants absolutely nothing to do with her, and that prompts Charlene to turn Peter's perfectly ordered life totally upside down. Hysterical complications abound and Peter soon finds out he may need Charlene just as much as she needs him. It's a houseful of fun your family will enjoy again and again.

Based on the classic novel by Graham Greene -- you'll find yourself riveted by the fascinating intricacies and ever-developing intrigue of this outstanding motion picture.

 Academy Award®-winning director Kevin Costner (Dances With Wolves, 1990) helms this epic, action-packed Western tale about a way of life that is quickly disappearing. Charley Waite (Costner), Boss Spearman (Robert Duvall), Mose Harrison (Abraham Benrubi), and "Button" (Diego Luna) are all men trying to escape their past -- and the one place where a man can be free is on the open range, driving cattle in a land where nature makes the only laws. Bound to one another by the "code of the West" -- standing up for what's right, showing loyalty to those closest to you -- the cowboys try to avoid violence, but one frontier town that rules through fear and tyranny changes their lives and forces them into action. Amidst this turmoil, life suddenly takes an unexpected turn for loner Charley when he meets the spirited Sue Barlow (Annette Bening), a woman who embraces both his heart and his soul. As these courageous men prepare for the decisive battle that looms, they are also forced to confront and conquer their own internal demons.
