( very serious spoiler ) this movie be a huge disappointment . there be so many problem i dont know where to start . so and i will talk about what be good about the film . the cast be great . steve martin delivers a really funny performance of a middle age and upper class and uptight white guy . queen latifah play a big and beautiful and urban and black gal . and eugene levy and well he pretty much play himself . add betty white and jean smart and you have a great cast everyone play their part really well . and if watch these guy for 1 . 75 hour be worth $ 8 to you and then you wont be disappoint . but the movie make a lot of serious mistake . first of all and there be enough racial stereotype and racial joke to offend everyone . all the white people be uptight bigot . all the black people be ghetto ebonics speaker . the black be hip and cool and with it and poor . the white be nerd and stiff and and rich . ( except eugene levy and he be clearly take with queen latifa and speak the lingo so latifa nickname him a freak . so if youre a white man and you like black woman and you know street slang you must be a freak ) . the movie be litter with overt racial slur towards the black cast member and in return the white be depict a moron and boob . put the race card aside and let look at the major flaw in the film represent they destroy latifa character . she come to martin home under false pretense and but martin take a liking to her anyway . she suppose to be wrongly accuse of robbery and martin take up her cause . 3/4 of the way through the film we find out latifa character escape from jail . so and our sympathy for her go out the window . there be no real plot . the movie plod along from scene to scene with latifa show up in some place where she not suppose to be ( like a country club or martin house ) and martin try to hide her . thats the running gag . then in the last minute of the film they decide that theyre go to finally deal with latifa assertion that she be wrongly accuse of bank robbery . martin go under cover a a homeboy to extract a ( let face it and unusable ) confession from latifa ex boyfriend and and everyone life happily ever after . finally ( but there be a lot more wrong with this flick ) this movie appear to be a hodge podge of clip from other movie . the premise be clearly borrow from another martin movie the house sitter . where goldie hawn come to live with martin and shake up his stodgy middle class life . martin and latifa meet online ala youve get mail . the whole quirky nanny fix rich man life go a far back a the sound of music and mary poppins . i wouldnt see this movie again for free .
