Summary: Following Eddie Murphy's Footsteps
Review: Martin Lawrence follows Eddie Murphy's footsteps in the enjoyable comedy hit Big Momma's House. In pursuit of a dangerous criminal, resourceful FBI agent Malcolm Turner (Martin Lawrence) and his partner search for the criminal's ex-girlfriend (Nia Long) and stakeout her grandmother's home. When the grandmother leaves town, Turner disguises himself as Big Momma to protect his only witness. "Big Momma's House" is a surprisingly pleasant comedy that offers some amusing laughs and funny characters. The story is quite predictable and tends to fall apart in the end. Martin Lawrence' comic performance keeps this movie afloat. The cast also includes Anthony Anderson, Cedric the Entertainer and Paul Giamatti as Turner's partner. There are plenty of funny momments including Big Momma playing Basketball.

With "Big Momma's House", Fox is improving the quality of its DVDs. The film is presented in its original 1.85:1 widescreen format. The DVD contains a good video transfer with vibrant colors. The 5.1 Dolby Digital sound is quite clear and well-balanced. The supplemental material features audio commentary with director Raja Gosnell and producer David Friendly, Behind-the-scene documentary, outtakes, trailers, music videos and deleted scenes. Fans of "Big Momma's House" will be pleased with Fox's latest release and it scores a "C+".

Summary: eh, heh, heh, heh..................heh?
Review: First and foremost, if I could give MOMMA zero stars, I would, but 1 star is the lowest rating allowed ..., so I'll just tell the nicest thing I canpossibly say in it's favor;BIG MOMMA'S HOUSE is the worst movie of all time.

The old joke of men becoming drag queens in movies simply to satisfy the audience is getting old really fast. It's time to see women disguising themselves as men. Oh sure, there was that bit in CHARLIE'S ANGELS (a movie I enjoyed 10 million times more than this) where Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore put on makeup to look like two of the UGLIEST men ever.

That's another thing wrong with MOMMA. The makeup Martin Lawrence wears doesn't make him look like a fat, old granny. It makes him look like Martin Lawrence in a fat, old granny suit.

Trust me, don't waste your time watching this "movie". The 90 minutes you use up watching it you could instead use to entertain yoursef with much funnier things, like watching candles burn.

Rating: 5 stars

another wonderful scene from the movie was when Martin dressed as big momma had to deliver a baby that is hillarious.
Martin is truly at the top of his acting career in this flim.
i think it's the best film Martin has made so far.
Ella Mitchell who played the real big momma is very funny also.
she is a marvelous actress. she has a scene at the beginning of the movie where she finds a dog in her yard she says lord i done told sadie bout this dog. then she picks up the dog and says if i catch you in my yard again i'll barbeque me some hot dog.
very funny. nia long is great also a very beautiful lady and a great actress.
another one of my favorite part's of the movie is when nia boy gets kicked of the basketball court and, Martin dressed as big momma goes to the court and gives the guys at the court a lesson in hoops.
anyway, it's a marvelous movie buy a copy today from Amazon i promise you'll love it. you want be able to stop laughing.
it's a MUST HAVE MOVIE.

Summary: THREE THUMBS DOWN!
Review: I pretty much like Martin Lawrence's movies, but this one wasn't that funny. There are some scenes where I had my tummy tickled, but, through the whole movie, I was just watching with a serious expression. The grosses part, and I think I speak for everyone that viewed this movie; was the bathroom toilet scene. ...

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Crude can be funny, but not in this 'House"
Review: Big Momma's House was a huge hit for Fox Studios, which had gone through a yearlong dry spell. Much of the reason for its success is that Hollywood has finally realized that there is a big urban market, composed mainly of young Afro-Americans, with plenty of disposable income and an obvious fondness for movies. What the industry may not know is that the novelty of having more movies aimed towards this audience will wear off. When this happens, the product will need to improve. Take Big Momma's House as an example. If it had had mainly a white cast and starred Robin Williams, it probably would have died after its opening weekend. Different audience groups vary in what they think is funny, but lazy movie making such as this effort eventually ends up discouraging the intended target.

Martin Lawrence is Malcolm, a FBI agent whose skills include impersonating people. Nolan [Anthony Anderson] is a dangerous criminal who has just escaped from prison. The Feds assume he will head for the $2,000,000 he stole in his last heist. His old girlfriend Sherry [Nia Long] is put under surveillance because she may or may not know where the money is. Before they can properly stake her out, Sherry flees to Georgia with her young son. Malcolm and his partner are assigned to follow her. They think she is going to her grandmother's house. Before Sherry can contact Big Momma, the woman leaves town. Malcolm decides to impersonate her. Sherry winds up believing Malcolm is Big Momma, Malcolm falls for Sherry, and the movie gets progressively sillier.

Seeing a man dressed as a woman is not in itself necessarily inherently funny. The humor resides in how the man reacts to being in this role, as in his getting accustomed to such attire and in his discovery that his feminine side is starting to show. Great examples of this are Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie, Eddie Murphy in The Nutty Professor and Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire. In those movies, it was necessary for the actors to be convincing because the story depended on it. The plot of Big Momma's House also requires believability, But Martin Lawrence seems uncomfortable in his role. He often contorts his face and rolls his eyes as if to say to the audience that he is really a man. The audience knows this, and his tentative approach to being Big Momma becomes irritating.

The people who wrote this movie should learn that, while humor can be crude, all things crude are not humorous. There is a scene near the beginning that takes bathroom humor to a new low, not that it was very high to begin with. I am not at all a prude. I realize we live in times which are basically wide open. I simply didn't find the scene amusing. Of course, I didn't find much of the movie to be that funny.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: I Was Falling Out of My Seat It Was So Funny
Review: This movie was filled with laughter all threw the movie. Older people might not appreciate the humor but teens and young adults would. My favorite part was when Martin Lawernce was in the Real big mommas house shower and then he snuck out and said to his partner "I've seen alot of scary _ _ _ _ in my days but _ _ _ _ that is a lot of @$$. And then his partner said he needed a splint or something. (guys all cringe at this part) It might not sound funny here but if you watch it and see what happens while they are saying it, it brings tons of laughter. I hope you enjoy the movie as much as i did!

Rating: 5 stars
