Big Momma's House (2000)

Very Cool!!!

Nice effects though.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

In order to protect a beautiful woman and her son from a robber, a male FBI agent disguises himself as a large grandmother. Big Momma's House benefits easily by Martlin Lawrence's terrific comedic abilities but also a pretty damn fun and hilarious storyline also they did a pretty good job making the costume that Lawrence had to wear which reminded me a bit some of the things that Eddie Murphy was doing with his Nutty Professor movies as well. If you like comedies? You're definitely going to enjoy this but if not? Probably skip it for sure. (10/10)

Once upon a time I did enjoy this film but not I have to ask myself what was I thinking watching this film?It goes to show how some comedy films actually look better on paper but this film didn't get the message because it has everything that should be ashamed of itself for.Well they try to have a serious plot with Terrence Howard playing the main villain and Martin Lawrence playing the protagonist however the film script really should have been review before ever getting a green light.Well I have to give it some decent points for trying to be creative the film just miss it mark. Some of the jokes in this film are just not that funny and it should have never been mention on film.The acting in this film is just about normal and it's hard to really say he gave a good performance or not but the film just look better on paper all together.I would say watch it if you're curious but other than that it's just not strong to get on DVDI give Big Momma's House an 5 out of 10

Martin Lawrence has many good comedies; I'm a large fan of his, large like Big Momma. Big Momma's House has tons of laughs and just as many feel good moments. It's a great family movie for the kids and all ages to enjoy. As people love to point out how bad and unfunny it is, they're overlooking just how strong a comedy premise it has, with Big Momma posing undercover in a huge woman's fat suit. Now, allow me to point out how bad the plot is; the bad plot gets in the way of Big Momma's House being a more all out comedy. It's no Mrs. Doubtfire, but it's still really good, and I won't point out how unfunny it is because it's not unfunny it's actually quite hilarious, especially for kids. Big Momma's House is a '90s classic. I love Martin Lawrence. I love Nia Long. Nia Long has a great name for her and she really adds to just how good and fun Big Momma's House is. Nia Long is so fine. I just thought that I would point that out, too.

Martin Lawrence goes undercover in a suburb of Georgia as an overweight southern grandmother in "Big Momma's House". It's up there with "Black Knight" and "Blue Streak" as a ridiculous, predictable and stupid yet charmingly funny Martin Lawrence vehicle. Some of the dialog is almost non-sensical and seems to rely on Martin Lawrence's improvisational, uh... skills. Of course, why nobody recognizes that their friend/mother (Big Momma) is being impersonated horribly, I don't know. But that sort of adds to the movie I guess.The story here doesn't matter that much. Really, it doesn't. Paul Giamatti plays the signature goofy white partner, who occasionally gets pushed around by the neighborhood locals to much comedic success (it is actually pretty funny, if predictable, like everything else here). Nia Long reprises her typical role as the love interest, and then a bunch of goofy physical stunts are taken from "Mrs. Doubtfire" and given a slightly different flair -- playing on southern black stereotypes (deep fried home cooking, going to church, etc.).This movie is cheesy and ridiculous. I don't think you even need to watch the whole thing, nor watch it twice (though there is a sequel, and seeing that would basically be watching this movie twice). But for what it is, it's pretty goofy and entertaining.4.5
