Deliberate mistake: It is not believable that Charlene, the dangerous prison escapee, would seek legal assistance to re-open her case, and not be concerned about escape charges, in addition to freely being seen by many people.
Bringing Down the House (2003)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Adam Shankman
Starring: Steve Martin, Eugene Levy, Queen Latifah, Joan Plowright
Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: Peter picks up Georgey, who is holding his Gameboy, spins him around and sits Georgey on the kitchen counter. In the next shot, the Gameboy is gone. It's not on the counter or in his pocket. (00:21:35)
Peter Sanderson: I message for you. Howie says, 'The cool points out the window and you got him all twisted up in the game.'.
Charlene Morton: That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.
Trivia: Just after Steve Martin finds out that Queen Latifah is a convict you see a picture of her where she is holding up her jail sign. Her name is Charlene Morton. Morton is the last name of Queen Latifah's character in Chicago.
Question: What is the song playing at the beginning of the movie when the characters are talking online to each other?
