Amazon.co.uk Review

No one tries very hard in Big Momma's House, so your enjoyment of this Martin Lawrence vehicle pretty much depends on how much amusement you're able to derive from a guy dressed up as a very ample woman. The setup is of the eye-rolling, only-in-Hollywood nature: Lawrence, as detective Malcolm Turner, is after a killer, and apparently the only way to capture him is to pose as the bad guy's ex-girlfriend's grandmother, who--the film cannot stress this point too much--is quite large. Apparently, Sherry (Nia Long), the young woman in question--she's as attractive as Big Momma is, well, you know--is none too bright, for she falls for Malcolm's ruse, which of course ostensibly amuses mainly because it's so transparent. She at least has an excuse--she hasn't seen Big Momma in two years--but Big Momma's oblivious friends must be functional morons. Screenwriters Darryl Quarles and Don Rhymer didn't tax themselves very much, as they have Malcolm-as-Big-Momma going through fairly predictable motions--botching a meal and delivering a baby unconventionally (Big Momma's a midwife), but ruling at basketball and self-defence and protecting Sherry while trying vainly not to flirt with her. Paul Giamatti is wasted as Malcolm's partner; director Raja Gosnell's clunky sense of comic rhythm is bewildering, because he used to be an editor (he brought a similar lack of magic to Home Alone 3).

Lawrence won't have anyone forgetting Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in Some Like It Hot, Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie, or Robin Williams in Mrs Doubtfire anytime soon. Eddie Murphy in The Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps is far more accomplished, versatile, and funny. --David Kronke, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Big Momma's House = Big Laughs!, 17 Feb 2006
By Mr. D. L. Armstrong - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
TAG LINE: This FBI agent is going undercover... and he's concealing more than a weapon.

Those who are thinking about mugging this southern grandma, should think again. (and RUN!) This senior citizen is packing! She's tough, streetwise and smart.

The film itself is packed full of attitude, huge laughs and a great plot. The talented Martin Lawrence plays FBI agent, Malcolm Turner who dons a fat suit, all in the name of justice.

He goes undercover as Hattie Mae Pierce - Known to the community of Cartersville, Georgia as "Big Momma" - A tough southern OAP. Where Malcolm's main goal is to pursue a dangerous criminal, he also has to keep his identity secret.

So, Turner soon finds himself getting lost in the character of big momma. The trouble is that the caring "Big Momma", is a well known and respected member of the community, so its going to be one hell of task. Though I must say, the folks of Cartersville must be thinking their local saint is going a little senile!

The film is full of laughs and witty one liners, though it has a few well placed emotional scenes, the film is light-hearted and makes great family viewing, delivering nothing heavy and overly dramatic.

There is also an essence of suspense in this film. You keep expecting Big Momma's cover to be blown, but then only finding yourself laughing at the escape tactics used by Malcolm.

This film stands out as one to watch, amongst the other comedies of the early 21st Century.

The only real disappointment is when the end credits begin to roll, But at the same time you are probably wishing your grandma was as hip!

5.0 out of 5 stars Side splitting is an understatement, 24 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Big Momma's House [VHS] [2000] (VHS Tape)
We laughed, and laughed. Perhaps the best comedy film of the year, watched by our family over and over again. A particularly side splitting moment is the "Oh Happy day" scene. We will never be able to watch a Gospel choir in the same light again!
