Bringing down the House is a movie about an uptight tax lawyer accidentally connecting and meeting with a convicted felon. At the start of the movie, the lawyer believes he’s going to have a nice night with a lady he has been chatting with online over the last couple of weeks, but when she arrives he discovers he’s essentially been catfished. Instead of a middle aged, blonde hair reporter, he opens the door to a young, straight out of jail African American women, who was in the very, very background of the picture that she had first provided, getting arrested.  The women is attempting to get her case opened up, as she says she is innocent. The movie progresses and focus on two points, the lawyer relaxing his uptight lifestyle and actually enjoying life, and the women attempting to get her case overturned. In the end the lawyer is able to finally enjoy life, and by doing so he reconnects with his ex-wife, and the women is able to prove that she is in fact innocent, and is able to finally get her life started again. The movies lessons seem to be that you need to get away from work once in awhile, and that you cannot judge a person simply on what they may look or sound like.
