Absolutely the worst movie.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Blistering performances.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Movie Plot: An FBI Agent goes undercover to catch a criminal.Review: Big Momma's House is well-acted, well-directed, and has a decent movie plot. Some professional critics complained that the movie portrays a negative view on older big black women, these critics are looking too deep into something that isn't there, two questions i have for them is "Did you see the movie?" and "Did you read the movie plot?". The comedy factor isn't a 10 out of 10, it is more of a 5 out of 10. This flick is watchable and entertaining, there are a couple of scenes that are vile and unnecessary, and some of the language is gross, but overall if you want something light - then it's worth watching. Big Momma's House isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it is re-watchable and is funny at times, there are cringeworthy moments, but if you can handle that then it's all good. The lyrical rap/hip hop soundtrack is awful with terrible lyrics, but that is what you get with secular comedies. It is what it is.

It's such a stupid idea born of an innately nonsensical, nonchalantly unnecessary central conceit clearly created around the apparently inevitable fact that Martin Lawrence was going in that fat suit whether he liked it or not, a fate surely sealed by some unfortunate pact with a shady suit or a simple shake made on an all liquid diet. Yet for all its blatant flaws and panicked pandering, there's something rather bizarrely endearing about 'Big Momma's House (2000)', a surprising fact when considering its glaring narrative missteps and especially when considering its occasionally creepy undertones. Nevertheless, I did enjoy parts of the piece and I'm not ashamed to admit it, though I suspect that the star is starting to feel that way now that the franchise (yes, 'franchise') has had three entries. 6/10

Martin Lawrence from 'Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins', Nia Long from 'Are We There Yet', and Paul Giamatti from 'Shoot Em Up' deliver equally excellent performances in there underrated 2000 comedy known as 'Big Momma's House'. Okay, it may not be Oscar worthy, but it does have a great sense of humor which makes this movie a real kick to watch.In this comedy, Martin Lawrence, an FBI agent, has no choice but to disguise himself as Nia Long's grandmother in order to protect her and her son from a criminal played by Terrence Howard.With the help of Paul Giamatti, nothing can go wrong...right? It just goes to show that posing as an obese grandmother isn't as easy as someone would like to believe.Here is a comedy with a good cast and some funny moments, but turns out to be an extremely underrated film that some people just love to hate.Trust me, 'Big Momma's House' isn't just any ordinary movie.It's a fun house.Waiting for 'Big Momma's House 3'.

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
