It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

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.

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.

Martin Lawrence is FBI agent, Malcolm Turner, and he specializes in going undercover in disguise. He gets a case involving missing money which turns out to be tied up with a former girlfriend of the bank robber named Lester. Sherry(Nia Long) is implicated in the robbery of the bank, and her grandmother, big momma has a large house which Malcolm is staking out. When big momma leaves for a couple of weeks, Malcolm puts on a dress a wig and impersonates the large woman, even to the point of fooling Sherry and her ten year old son. She believes that grandma is acting strange due to senility. Lawrence is a talented comic, and he does well as the cross dressing FBI agent, and Nia Long is beautiful as the love interest. I have an allergy to men dressing as women, whether it's old clips of Milton Berle, or Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in the horrendous, Some Like it Hot, I am not amused. Big Momma's House is just another run of the mill slapstick comedy, and a 5/10.
