The plot feels too familiar and stalls occasionally. I generally enjoy Queen Latifah, but I felt that her performance fell a bit flat this time. I wanted to connect with her character but there just wasn't enough development within the story-line. However, Kevin Bacon and Alicia Silverstone more than make up for it. Bacon is amazing; amusing and repulsive simultaneously. And I wouldn't have believed Silverstone capable of a credible deep-southern accent or significant depth but she delivers a fabulously understated performance that should lead to at least a few more significant roles. The humor is well-written and delivered, although a bit cruder than I expected. Overall, I enjoyed this movie and will most likely rent it at some later point to see again. If you enjoyed 'Bringing Down the House', you will enjoy this film!
