Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Same ole Same ole
Review: Well I thought that this movie was going to be the bomb because it had Martin the comedian of all comedians. However once reviewing it I was a little disappointed because it was like I had heard most of the jokes in previous movies, so I really felt like I knew what was coming next. I do believe that ole Martin needs to get some more jokes before he makes another movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Martin's Best Work
Review: If you are looking for a good laugh buy this movie. Fans of Martin Lawrence will definatly enjoy this.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Look out, it's Lawrence! And he's trying to be funny!
Review: Ok, this will not be a film review, per se, more of a confession on my part: yes, I have seen Big Momma's House. Shoot me now for I have come forward! My only saving grace is that I got in for student price. You thought I'd say I liked it? I didn't.
There are many, many reasons how and why we ended up watching this, but I won't bore you with that here.
Pic features a one Martin Lawrence, who was amusing in Nothing to Lose with nice Tim Robbins, getting dressed up in drag and makeup and pretending to be the Big Momma in question. Oh, how we laughed! Or not, as the case may be. Sure, there were some laughs here and there. ALL placed within the first half hour of the film. We then peter out into a mess of, er, um, unfunny tripe.
Film ends in the worst possible way: a big coming-of-age / revelation / spiritual awaking type deal in a big church sing song. Please, kill me now.
Most enjoyable part of the flicker: eating Haagan-Daaz Cookie Dough iced cream during the trailers. True Story.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Dissapointed
Review: I was looking foward to seeing this funny looking movie when it turned out I had already seen the jokes in the trailer preview. This movie got unfunny extremely quickly. Instead of paying money to see the jokes, watch the trailer instead cos they're all there. The only highlight was Martin Lawrence who is a brilliant actor but he did better in 'Nothing To Lose' which is the kind of movie to see for laughs. Utterly Disapointed

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Really really bad!
Review: The trailer made this movie look extremly funny. Its nothing short of a Tootsie rip off. It plays just like it and that makes it so predictable. It tries to hard to be funny and touching. Someone who is young or not familair with Tootsie or any other comedy of that nature might like it. Very bad, i would never recommend to anyone.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not For The Tikes...
Review: I'll put aside my distate for the plot, acting, and utter cliched nature of this film to talk about what's really important: the rating.

This movie has no business being rated pg-13. Occurences of 'damn,' 'ass,' 'shit,' and other profantiy are profuse. Sexual inuendos are rampant... ala "Big Momma... do you have another flashlight down there?"

Now, I'm not a right-wing radical. I do enjoy movies and am not for censorship at all. I don't object to profanity in general, just when it's in a movie that's been advertised as if it's a fun children's movie like "The Nutty Professor," of which it has 'borrowed' so greatly from.

Parents, you might a few laughs out of this one, I just strongly suggest that you preview it before taking your kids to see it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not that good.
Review: You've seen them: Mrs. Doubtfire, Some Like It Hot, and now Big Momma. Of course, there's tons of others where the whole movie is revolved around morons dressing up as women. Morons being men.

Big Momma's House is that kind of movie with a Martin Lawrence twist on it. Only it's more to protect a fine woman from being killed by her criminal ex. She has a son as well.

This movie has lots of loopholes in it, and just the stupidity of it. No woman would go for someone who dressed up as their mother and thought she was a theif, and then she would make love to that person in a church.

Of course, there's too many crotch, giant butt, or giant breast in the face jokes, but it's still a little funny. Blue Streak was funnier, though. That's the Martin Lawrence movie.

This is the mindless, tasteless entertainment people manage to enjoy. This is fluff for a good time, if there's nothing else to really see at the theatre. Most of it is repeated material, too. Not badly directed, though. Recommended for mindless entertainment.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Big Martin's House
Review: Martin Lawrence is still one of the funniest actors of today. I enjoyed this movie, and some of the gross scenes, like when the real Big Momma is on the can (and you know what happens next). I think Lester is a funny name for a villain, though. One part I liked was when Malcolm (Lawrence) dressed as Big Momma plays basketball and beats two bully teenagers with her grandson. Pure craziness from start to finish!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Perfect Martin Lawrence Movie
Review: If you've liked Blue Streak, Bad Boys, Thin Line Between Love and hate or OTHER Lawrence films, you'll sure love BIG MOMMA'S HOUSE This movie, while nothing SPECTACULAR, does deliver a lot of laughs and is well worth the time and money. Great movie to bring friends along with you.

Marting plays undercover FBI agent and Paul Giamatti delivers many laughs as his partner. Great cast and LOTS OF LAUGHS

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Big Momma's Funny House...
