Mediocre at best
Added 10/12/2009
This isn't really Martin Lawrence's best work, but it's not his worst, either. It's very average, with both funny and unfunny jokes here and there. The premise is unoriginal, yes, but it's taken with some good hilarity. Everyone gives great performances, but some of their dialogue could have been improved. What I liked the most about Big Momma's House is the soundtrack (Lil Jon at his best!), and that's the only greater thing about this movie. So if you're into Martin Lawrence's work, then you'll probably love this 2000 comedy. If you want an excellent comedy, then you'll probably find this very adequate.

An Awesome Comedy!!!
Added 6/9/2009
This is a very funny movie that stars Martin Lawrence as F.B.I. agent Malcolm Turner who goes undercover as a grandma named Hattie Mae Pierce. (Big Momma) Hattie happens to be grandmother to Sherri. A few years ago, Sherri's ex-boyfriend, Lester robbed a bank and killed a few people. The F.B.I. believe that Sherri was involved, so Malcolm tries to get a confession, but he soon believes that Sherri is innocent and begins to fall in love with her. Malcolm gets into a lot of crazy situations as Big Momma like playing Basketball, delivering a baby, singing in church, and much more! I highly recommend you stay at BIG MOMMA'S HOUSE!!!

I did not expect very much but was surprised!
Added 10/9/2008
When I read the comment at this site about the film, I spontaneously decided to add mine. We saw the film in a lesson of Business English - which seems quite odd - but I really enjoyed it. It was not as flat as I expected, actually it was really funny and romantic. I had not seen a film with Martin Lawrence before and found him really cude. Also his girlfriend "Sherry" is very sexy... And at last, the music was really good: The soundtrack met my favour and the gospel song "happy day": I could not sit quiet any longer... So my opinion about the film is much more positive: I think it's the right film to pass a nice video session with some chips and laughter!!!

This movie was great! It arrived in less than four days (even though I chose standard shipping). Great movie!

Comedy with Martin Lawrence with very few laughs...
Added 9/10/2008
I'm sure Lawrence had the character before the story and worked the movie around it, and this is what it looks and feels like. Some funny scenes, but too many scenes that you know are going to happen(Aka. Lawrence disguised as Big Momma having an uncomfortable scene in bed with a beautiful lady that he happens to be attracted to as his FBI character, his emotional involvement with the women in the previous statement etc.) I had a hard time laughing at much of the movie because it was so predictable, and the one joke mentality that the movie started with(Lawrence disguised as an overweight straight-forward and rough African-american woman)doesn't make an entire movie.
