Big Momma's House (2000)

Fresh and Exciting

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

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)

I tried to like this movie. I really tried. Wait, that's not true. The truth is that I really WANTED to like this movie, but it was just so awful and there was nothing good about it. It was so bad I'm surprised I made it through the whole movie without turning it off. I should get an award for that. It's the only award kind of award this movie should have.And now I hear they made a SEQUEL to this? Are you kidding me? Don't watch it. It's not worth your time. I'm not even sure why I gave it a two star rating. I should change it to a one. Anyway, I'm sure there are worse movies out there, but right now, off the top of my head, I can't think of any.The jokes aren't funny. The story isn't fun. The characters aren't fun. All of the above are irritating. I admit I was never a big Martin Lawrence fan, but he's even worse than usual in this. It makes his role in Bad Boys look good, and that's saying something.

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

A few people have said that this film is unrealistic and yeah, you're right, but if all films were true-to-life, what would be the point in cinema.I admit that this kind of comedy may be an acquired taste, but I for one found it hilarious. It is mostly original, and there really is a laugh-per-minute script. For all of those that gave this a bad review, we must have been watching different movies, because I loved the film and all of the squeals!9/10
