No one tries very hard in IBig Momma's House/I, 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.p 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- defense 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 IHome Alone 3/I). p Lawrence won't have anyone forgetting Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in ISome Like It Hot/I, Dustin Hoffman in ITootsie/I, or Robin Williams in IMrs. Doubtfire/I anytime soon. IBig Momma's House/I benefits mainly by being first to the marketplace ahead of Eddie Murphy's IThe Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps/I; Murphy's work in prosthetics is far more accomplished, versatile, and funny.

Big Momma's House January 5, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
When a street-smart FBI agent is sent to Georgia to protect a beautiful single mother and her son from an escaped convict, he is forced to impersonate a crass Southern granny known as Big Momma in order to remain incognito. Martin Lawrence is a scream in this story about assumed identity, romance, and the tensions between home town and urban values. I laughed until my side ached.
 Mediocre at best October 12, 2009
Eric S. Kim (Southern California)
This isn't really Martin Lawrence's best work, but it's not his worst, either. It's very average, with both funny and unfunny jokes here and there. The premise is unoriginal, yes, but it's taken with some good hilarity. Everyone gives great performances, but some of their dialogue could have been improved. What I liked the most about Big Momma's House is the soundtrack (Lil Jon at his best!), and that's the only greater thing about this movie. So if you're into Martin Lawrence's work, then you'll probably love this 2000 comedy. If you want an excellent comedy, then you'll probably find this very adequate.
 An Awesome Comedy!!! June 9, 2009

This is a very funny movie that stars Martin Lawrence as F.B.I. agent Malcolm Turner who goes undercover as a grandma named Hattie Mae Pierce. (Big Momma) Hattie happens to be grandmother to Sherri. A few years ago, Sherri's ex-boyfriend, Lester robbed a bank and killed a few people. The F.B.I. believe that Sherri was involved, so Malcolm tries to get a confession, but he soon believes that Sherri is innocent and begins to fall in love with her. Malcolm gets into a lot of crazy situations as Big Momma like playing Basketball, delivering a baby, singing in church, and much more! I highly recommend you stay at BIG MOMMA'S HOUSE!!!
I did not expect very much but was surprised! October 9, 2008

When I read the comment at this site about the film, I spontaneously decided to add mine. We saw the film in a lesson of Business English - which seems quite odd - but I really enjoyed it. It was not as flat as I expected, actually it was really funny and romantic. I had not seen a film with Martin Lawrence before and found him really cude. Also his girlfriend "Sherry" is very sexy... And at last, the music was really good: The soundtrack met my favour and the gospel song "happy day": I could not sit quiet any longer... So my opinion about the film is much more positive: I think it's the right film to pass a nice video session with some chips and laughter!!!
