Both films follow Martin Lawerence who plays an undercover cop who dressed up as "Big Momma" to infiltrate a criminal gang. The plots just an excuse to get dressed up as a big woman with a big heart, big personality and big views. Instead of going for gross out like Nutty Professor, here its more in the subtle things like catchphrases words and the body language and as a result some of the genius is missed first time round and I wasn't laughing out loud very much. However as with underplayed parts sometimes you'll enjoy it more second time around. There are one or two laugh out loud parts and the sequel for once isn't awful compared to the original so if you like one, you'll enjoy number two and the bonus features show how all the make ups done too.
