Python Hyena Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son (2011): Dir: John Whitesell / Cast: Martin Lawrence, Brandon T. Jackson, Jessica Lucas, Portia Doubleday, Tony Curran: Yet another idiotic F.B.I agent in a fat lady suit comedy. This time Martin Lawrence is joined by his son, played by Brandon T. Jackson who witnesses a murder. They both don wigs and drag and into a college they go. Directed by John Whitesell whose Malibu's Most Wanted had its laughs, but after directing the pathetic Big Momma's House 2 you would think he would have learned his lesson. This film only adds one more person to the concept of going in drag. Lawrence has this role down pat, which is to say that it is standard and routine. He hides his son while he searches for the criminals. Jackson actually elevates above the material. He desires to be a rap singer but in the midst of getting his father's approval he witnesses a shooting. In drag he does have his moments of amusement despite an ending where he cannot be two people at once. Jessica Lucas has the boring role of piano player whom Jackson falls for despite the fact that she thinks he is a female. Portia Doubleday plays the snide stuck up sorority sister who seems to call the shots. It is a boring role played countless times before. Tony Curran has the thankless role of Russian gang leader and it has all the ambition of countless roles just like it. While this is a slight improvement over the first two disastrous Big Momma movies, it is still pretty much the same crap over again. It is slightly better only due too Jackson's contribution, otherwise it is a big fat waste of time. Score: 1 ½ / 10
mic90 Warning: spoiler alertsBig Momma is back in third movie.. and it was bad move. This time the story is about that his son Trent witnesses a murder. Then father & son duo is ready to investigate a murder. Traces leads to an girls school. Once again the world needs Big Momma's help. What Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son offer to audience? Unfunny jokes and tired cast. Especially Martin Lawrence who desperately needs better movies like this. Maybe he got a big paycheck. I don't see any more reasons why this movie got into production. Typical Hollywood plot and that is getting older. The cast is from B-movies and it felt more like "the girl" movie. The music is like from nowadays Music Television: nothing new and uninspired. There are some funny jokes but other ways the movie is very bad.
AleksandertheDraconian This movie is terrible and I would say that there aren't any words to describe this silly and dull movie. Probably the main point against it, is that it is classified as a comedy while the movie itself is more boring than a soap opera, then the cast acted so bad that I bet that the whole cast is going to be nominated to the Golden Raspberry Awards for 2012 and finally the plot is so unlogical and so incoherent that the best adjective to describe this boring "movie" is Unwatchable.Since the very beginning to the ending, there's no fun, the movie is boring, boring, and boring. Trust me I thanked God when it finished. I am a teenager and I have to say that this movie is extremely boring, is the top of boredom. There's nothing memorable, at least in the first two movies there were some funny gags, but this one has no funny moments is just the same idea and the same boring performance of Martin Lawrence.The cast is terrible, Martin Lawrence made his worst performance ever. His performances in the two previous movies weren't an achievement but in this case he goes beyond what we call bad acting. He seems very fat and without any sense of humor. He's not my favorite actor and I personally don't like his movies but this movie is just an insult to the audience. The rest of the cast is just the same Brandon T. Jackson, the typical teenager with bad performance and Jessica Lucas is really gorgeous; however that beauty does not help her when acting.To sum up this movie will not be enjoyed neither by teenager nor by adults. In really few words this movie sucks!
Jackson Booth-Millard The first film is obviously good fun, the second film was a big disappointment and waste of time, I had a feeling this third instalment would be just as bad, from director John Whitesell (Big Momma's House 2, Deck the Halls). Basically Malcolm Turner (Martin Lawrence) is still hard at work with the FBI, and his stepson Trent 'Prodi-G' (Brandon T. Jackson) has grown up to be an aspiring rapper despite being accepted into Duke University. One night Malcolm is caught in the middle of a gang raid, and Trent witnesses the leader Chirkoff (Doctor Who's Tony Curran) killing someone, and this forces him and his stepfather to hide somewhere to stop him finding them. So naturally Malcolm has once again donned the Hattie Mae 'Big Momma' Pierce outfit and disguise, and Trent has done the same to become her great niece Charmaine, and they are entering all-girls performing arts school. While hiding out they are also looking for a flash drive hidden somewhere in the school, Big Momma is the head of the house (of course), and she gains a slight enemy in Jasmine (Portia Doubleday), and Trent is gaining a crush on Haley Robinson (Jessica Lucas). Trent's feelings soon go over his head, and he almost forgets that he is meant to stay in disguise and hide from any possible gangsters, but he cannot stop his feelings taking over and wanting to be himself for Haley. After lots of trouble, near-misses, concern from principal Gail (My Name Is Earl's Ana Ortiz) and a big talent contest, the gangsters eventually find out where Malcolm and Trent are, and the flash drive is found as well, but in the end the bad guys are caught, Haley stays with Trent, who also decides to go with the advice of "father" Malcolm and go to University after all. Also starring Faizon Love as janitor Kurtis Kool, Michelle Ang as Mia, Emily Rios as Isabelle, Henri Lubatti as Vlad and The Hangover's Ken Jeong as Mailman. Lawrence and Jackson do okay in and out of the woman costumes and masks, and some of the supporting cast members are alright too, obviously I might have giggled at some of the cross-dressing and dialogue jokes, but it is same old same old and in ways tedious stuff, a silly comedy sequel. Adequate!
