Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Flabby Humor
Review: Martin Lawrence's take on Eddie Murphy's Nutty Professor movies (but without the refined tone and impeccable taste), this one has Lawrence as an undercover FBI agent who impersonates a fat old woman (with diarrhea) in order to nab a bad guy. Most of the humor is gross, toilet-level stuff, presented with lousy timing, but this essentially one-joke, dress-up movie does pack a few laughs. Lawrence does have some funny moves. Still, it's not Tootsie or or even Mrs.Doubtfire.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Without a doubt the funniest movie of last year
Review: Malcolm (Martin Lawrence) decides to investigate the case of a criminal who recently escaped from prison. The way Malcolm investigates the case is to dress up as a famous neighborhood icon, Big Momma, after the real Big Momma leaves for awhile. The woman he is going to investigate is Sherry (Nia Long). Sherry was the former lover of the man who escaped from prison. Little does Malcolm know that he will become attracted to Sherry once he meets her.

I didn't really think that "Big Momma's House" was a ripoff of "The Nutty Professor." They have a lot of similarities, but I think it's a lot more like "Mrs. Doubtfire." I thought "Big Momma's House" was funnier than "Nutty Professor II: The Klumps." While both are great comedy movies with tons of laughs, this movie wins my vote for funniest movie of the year by far. Just about all the movie's pranks and lines are hilarious, especially when Malcolm slips up and says or does things that'll make you wonder if Malcolm has forgotten that he's dressed up as Big Momma.

Anybody who likes comedy movies such as "Tootsie" or "Mrs. Doubtfire" should really like "Big Momma's House," it's the must see comedy of the year!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Underrated Comedy
Review: "Big Momma's House" is a fun romantic comedy, starring the incomparable Martin Lawrence. Hilarity abounds as Mr. Lawrence poses as "Big Momma" a much beloved figure. You'll howl with laughter at his attempts to fulfill Momma's duties...and his growing attraction to Nia Long. Sure it's predicatable, but you won't care.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Movie of 2000!
Review: There were ALOT of good movies in 2000(Shanghai Noon, MI2, Unbreakable,Gladiator, etc.), but this movie was truly the best. If you though Robin Williams was funny in Mrs. Doughtfire, you a'int seen nothing yet. This movie is a WHOLE lot different from that movie, so if you didn't like Mrs.Doughtfire, don't skip this movie just because of that. Martin Lawrence is one of the funniest actors around, next to Eddie Murphy and Jim Carrey. He adds his own certain brilliance to the film only he can provide. There were so many laugh out loud scenes in this film your belly will be aching like crazy. The DVD makes it even better, with extra features up the wa-zoo. Deleted scenes, bloopers, music videos, making of, trailers and TV spots, and even a Me,Myself, & Irene trailer. The acting is one of a kind, and if you miss out on this movie, you miss out on alot, trust me.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Another Mrs. Doubtfire
Review: big momma's house is exactly the same as mrs. doubtfire and neither of them are funny. if he wants to dress up like a woman, then that's his business. same old jokes. your face is falling off, oh my god she knows I am not who she thought I was now. I saw nothing funny here. especially at the end there is a scene with a church and singing amazing grace. they don't even attempt any jokes. really can't think of a thing that's even remotely entertaining in this. i'd call it a dissapointment but it didn't have any high expectations.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: * * * * 1/2 The Years Funniest Film!
Review: A New comedy staring Martin Lawrence, the star of TV's now off the air Martin and the insanely funny Nothing To Lose, comes the movie Big Mommas House a even funnier film than Nothing to Lose. It is about 2 cops scoping out Big Momma, who has a relative in some sort of trouble, and they believe that the relative shows up. While Big Momma goes to visit a friend, they decide to search her house. While Searching the Girl (relative) calls, Malcolm Played by Martin picks up the phone and pretends to be Big Momma Well The girl needs somewhere to hide so Malcolm becomes big Momma, and all he*# breaks loose. He finds out that the estranged grand daughter is very cute. So it even gets stranger, and funnier. With a great cast and a hilarious script, Big Mommas House scores big. It is a hilarious film that will have you laughing so hard your throat will hurt. It isn't that it doesn't have problems, there is a cute little oil scene, that has a flaw, but the movie is so funny you can look past it, because it wasn't that big of a deal. It isn't as funny as Dogma, but Dogma was a twisted film with witty writing, great cast and some wickedly;y good ideas. Still Big Mommas house is so funny that you can't help but laugh at it really hard, some good deep down belly laughs are what we all need. So I would say, that Big Mommas House is on my top ten because it was so funny.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cheesy rip-off of Mrs. Doubtfire, but good cheese.
Review: A lot of the events in this movie are *strangely* similar to some events in Mrs. Doubtfire, and, like I stated, this IS a cheesy rip-off, but good cheese, like American. No swiss. I got this on DVD for christmas, and it is hilarious. Lawrence is fabulous and fuuuunny. Great movie to just sit back and laugh at. Get it. what are you waiting for???!?!????

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Who told Martin that he had talent?
Review: If I see another black male actor performing in drag, I think I will scream! This is very old and tired. But that's not even the worse. In this movie, Martin is telling the same old predictable jokes, doing the same situations, etc. He has absolutely NO character diversity. It's always Martin "Pain" or Lawrence or whatever his schizophrenic character is. I looked at re-runs of REAL comedians (i.e. Richard Pryor, Flip Wilson, even Red Skelton) and they ALL were funny -- with or without props! Their jokes, timing, subject matter, etc. deems them talented. The early part of Eddie Murphy's career was hilarious, too. But I guess Eddie's too old to be funny. And poor Martin never had the talent to begin with. What's up with the cross dressing anyway? Martin does too much of this. Eddie had an obsession with homosexual jokes until he was caught with a drag prostitute. Martin seems to have a love-hate problem with the female image. Wasn't he barking at cars in real life? Dumb movie, poor acting.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It was predictable, silly, but still funny.
Review: I thought the movie would be better than it was, but I can't say I was totally disappointed with it. It had some funny parts, and although the plot was very predictable (you almost always knew what was going to happen next.) It was still entertaining and I'm glad I watched it.

If you're looking for non-stop laughs, look elseware. But if you don't mind some sillyness and just want to have fun, this is right movie.
