Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
No one tries very hard in Big Momma's House, so your enjoyment of this Martin Lawrence vehicle pretty much depends on how much amusement you're able to derive from a guy dressed up as a very ample woman. The setup is of the eye-rolling, only-in-Hollywood nature: Lawrence, as detective Malcolm Turner, is after a killer, and apparently the only way to capture him is to pose as the bad guy's ex-girlfriend's grandmother, who--the film cannot stress this point too much--is quite large. Apparently, Sherry (Nia Long), the young woman in question--she's as attractive as Big Momma is, well, you know--is none too bright, for she falls for Malcolm's ruse, which of course ostensibly amuses mainly because it's so transparent. She at least has an excuse--she hasn't seen Big Momma in two years--but Big Momma's oblivious friends must be functional morons. Screenwriters Darryl Quarles and Don Rhymer didn't tax themselves very much, as they have Malcolm-as-Big-Momma going through fairly predictable motions--botching a meal and delivering a baby unconventionally (Big Momma's a midwife), but ruling at basketball and self-defence and protecting Sherry while trying vainly not to flirt with her. Paul Giamatti is wasted as Malcolm's partner; director Raja Gosnell's clunky sense of comic rhythm is bewildering, because he used to be an editor (he brought a similar lack of magic to Home Alone 3).

Lawrence won't have anyone forgetting Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in Some Like It Hot, Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie, or Robin Williams in Mrs Doubtfire anytime soon. Eddie Murphy in The Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps is far more accomplished, versatile, and funny. --David Kronke, Amazon.com




Rating: - Very, very funny
In the style of classic comedies such as Mrs Doubtfire, White Chicks and The Nutty Professor, Martin Lawrence stars as FBI agent Malcolm Turner who must go undercover as he disguises himself as a bank robber's ex-girlfirend's grandmother named Hattie Mae Pierce, aka Big Momma. He is assigned to trap a bank robber who they suspect will be coming down to visit his ex-girlfriend Sherry and her son, Trent..

To be honest I had low expectations for this film and was just expecting a repeat ... Read More

Rating: - A FUNNY FILM
The biggest problem with Big Momma's house is that you can often see just how funny it should be, but the cast and crew are not able to sustain the occasional hilarious parts with any consistency.

It doesn't seem to help that Big Momma's House wants to be more than a comedy. Writers Darryl Quarles and Don Rhymer shoot for a combination of a crime comedy ala Beverly Hills Cop (1984) and a romantic comedy. But the core comedy is absurdist, while the mostly serious crime stuff is so underwritten ... Read More

Rating: - Big Momma's House = Big Laughs!
TAG LINE: This FBI agent is going undercover... and he's concealing more than a weapon.

Those who are thinking about mugging this southern grandma, should think again. (and RUN!) This senior citizen is packing! She's tough, streetwise and smart.

The film itself is packed full of attitude, huge laughs and a great plot. The talented Martin Lawrence plays FBI agent, Malcolm Turner who dons a fat suit, all in the name of justice.
