adonis98-743-186503 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)
mariondowning-427-469344 Formulaic plagiarism: This film copies Mrs Doubtfire - man in a dress has problems with fake face and pretends the quick fix is a "beauty treatment", in this case needs tape to fix said fake face and in Mrs Doubtfire's case needing whipped cream.This film copies Kindergarten Cop - single male law enforcer pretends to be someone else to investigate a single mother who is suspected of having stolen money. The single mother in each case is running from a bad guy who lied to them and wasn't really who they thought he was. Each guy also lied about the women having stolen money so the bad guys could get their kids. Then the 'hero' protects and falls in love with attractive single mother (and son) and wins them over in the end even though he lied and thought she was a criminal. Coincidentally the hero also finds out the truth behind the "stolen money" story right before the bad guy turns up and takes the woman and child hostage.Unfunny stems from the fact that making fun of overweight people is supposedly funny and most of the 'jokes' were done better and first in other films.
kirk-246 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'.
CandidlyCandid Sure Big Momma's House has the over-exaggerated characters, the typical modern crude humor and predictable plot - but I found the execution of the movie spot-on. It's got a very similar aspect as Mrs.Doubtfire, I think you can guess what that is, but despite the predictability, no character development and just mild dialog, I found the movie rather enjoyable because on how funny and well executed Martin Lauren's performance was. It's got all the same elements on the typical modern comedy, whether it'd be its crude humor, dialog or appeals but my opinion contracts it as a great comedy, that could easily be enjoyable on the same level of multiple viewings. It's very funny, got a good ending and also the little sad bit, a recommendation for every Comedy fan who wants a laugh but expect nothing special.
