Summary: Please avoid this
Review: This sub-'Mrs Doubtfire' rubbish is simply dire. It's contrived set-up has Martin Lawrence dressing up as Big Momma, the grandmother of a bank robber's girlfriend, in an attempt to get closer to the girl and find out where the robber is. So along comes the girl with kid in tow and 'Big Momma' quickly falls for her.

Yes this is one of those movies that is not only heavily reliant on fat jokes and toilet humour but almost revels in them. The humour is tacky and dull whilst the romantic subtext is tired. The only real point of recommendation is the character of a security guard desperate to become a police officer and is always ready to shoot down anyone who looks like they pose a threat. However, one character alone doesn't save the movie, and even Martin Lawrence looks bored.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Little more than a minstel show
Review: I realize Martin Lawrence has a huge following. Some people think he's the funniest dude alive, but his appeal has always escaped me. His movies are little more than minsrel shows, and "Big Momma's House" is no exception. His getup, complete with red apron, looks uncannily like the mammies that were depicted in earlier films and shows. Apparently, some people thought this car wreck of a film was funny, as it was a big-grossing film in 2000. But I didn't crack a smile once during this mess. Not once. And what's the reasonably talented Nia Long doing in this, anyway? Fans of Lawrence will no doubt pick up this DVD, but for everyone else, please steer clear.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: 3 1/2 STARS I THOUGHT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER
Review: I did enjoy this but it isnt the best movie ever.It isnt martin's bets movie as well! But it is a MUST WATCH, but not a MUST BUY.I did get a few laughs out of it but when i went to the movies i really did expect a bit more.I think it is more of a kids movie!It is a bit far fetched at some points.But overall worth a look and i recomend you hire it before you buy also i would like to say check out Blue Streak and my favourite martn lawrence film and probably one my favourite movies of all time Nothing To Lose.Martin is hilarious in that one!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: GREAT MOVIE
Review: "Big Momma's House" is pretty funny. Martin Lawrence is really funny in it. THe reason why I gave it only 4 stars is because I didn't like some of the parts of the storyline, like when Martin's character ruined his disguise as Big Momma. The movie was really good though. I reccomend it to anyone who liked "Nutty Professor II: The Klumps".

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very BAD, If I could give it less, I would, a true BOMB.
Review: I went to watch this movie hoping to have a mild laugh, what a huge mistake. The film is beyond wrong, it is not funny, very predictible, short, at least is short, and has not even one good joke. The story is not believable, come on. Martin Lawrence is and will never be a good actor, The only actor that passes is Paul Giamatti, but bearly. I would have fallen asleep if the sound wasn't loud in the movies. I was so sad the entire movie since I mised my chance of watching GLADIATOR again, which was the other movie in the cinema. I went with my cousin, and she loved it, I wanted to hit her, just as I want to hit the person responsible for this insult, I want my money back. Any one who likes this movie is a true stupid, which is what this movie is, an boring hour for stupids. If you consider yourself intelligent, see any other comedy, like Airplane, Naked Gun, etc. Not this garbage. This shold be banned by law. The make-up looks so fake, you only see Martin Lawrence with plastic, too much plastic in the entire movie...And the chracters are soo exagerated than it hurts. I like almost any movie, but this, What a junk.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Laughed So Hard My Lungs Almost Fell Out
Review: Its been a very, very long time since I laughed this hard (not since I was a kid). Big Momma's House is hil-lar-i-ous. I was kind of lukewarm about Martin Lawerance b/f this movie but Big Momma's House sold me on him. I'm now offically a Martin Lawerance fan.

Don't be surprised if you become a fan of ML as well after watching this very funny film. Expect belly laughs-a-plenty.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Funny
Review: This is a great movie my brother and I saw it three times in the theatre and have rented it over ten times.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: this dude is through!
Review: he is a comedian right?i mean this is the same mar'in from UPN 9 right?the same dude who is cracking me up for 1/2 an hour(or used to)?aaaaahhhhhhhhhh,there it is.his movies are too long!that and a combination of whacked ideas,cornyashell scripts,a huge dose of over acting,the list of offences is endless.he is becoming the micheal jackson of comics.the same jokes,the same mannerisms,the same everything.but yet,it gets praise.such is the problem with the quality of todays movies/music.when will an honest voice be heard,or a genuine artist get a chance?(shakes head at the obvious answer!)well,back to mar'in.hes coming out with a new movie called,black knight.i felt a collective sigh of pity throughout the theatre.it truely is embarassing to see how an actor as funny as mar'in used to be accept anything passed his way.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Dull and Lame. A Sheer Dissapointment.
Review: My Opinion: When I saw this movie, I had high hopes thinking that it would be funny. Boy was I ever mistaken! This is probably the worst movie of the year. Scored big with teens though because it has what they love --- Lowbrow jokes! What a waste of film.

The Short and Sweet: To make a bust, an FBI agent poses as a 300-pound grandmother.

The Players: Martin Lawrence, Nia Long

The DVD: Not bad. Somewhat deserves Special Edition Label.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Funny...
Review: I did enjoy this film, very funny, entertaining and good acting. Martin Lawrence was excellent and so were the other actors. I would recommend anyone to check out this movie and be ready to laugh...
