    Worst Big Momma

    Big Momma is back in this horrible 3rd installment of the Big Mommas House franchise. This is about undercover agent Malcom Turner. He is on another case and his son Trent sneaks into the middle of a drug deal and witnesses a murder. Trent than needs to go undercover with his father to an all girls school . Where the key to the case is hidden.

    I thought this movie had a few and i mean Few funny jokes. Trent played by Brandon T. Jackson was the only one who made a slight joke. These movies had jokes that you would see in a Tyler Perry movie. If you like the Tyler Perry movies. I suggest you see it but if you hate them do not see it

    Even If Your a Fan of the First Two You Won't Enjoy This,

    Big Mommas: Like Father,Like Son is a brutal movie with a stupid storyline that is mainly only trying to be funny,but even fails at that.I've seen the first two,which I didn't find brilliant,but there are plenty of funny scenes in them to make it somewhat enjoyable,and that is completely absent in this.The main thing that made the first two so enjoyable is Martin Lawrence,and he isn't in this as much,its more about his step son played by Brandon T Jackson,who I didn't enjoy,his fat suit wasn't as funny and his voice as a woman wasn't either,the scenes that Martin Lawrence is in is the only reason i'm not giving this a lower rating.Even if you are a big fan of the first two Big Mommas,I don't think you'll enjoy this,and definitely not if your looking for something funny to watch,I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone.

    After his stepson Trent (Brandon T Jackson) witnesses a murder,Malcolm (Martin Lawrence) and his stepson Trent must go undercover in an all girls art college as Big Mommma and her daughter.

    a retread of a tired formula

    Special Agent Malcolm Turner is back in the game (again), going into the field (again) to try and apprehend a notorious Russian gangster, but complications ensue when his rebellious stepson Trent (who doesn't wish to follow in Malcolm's footsteps) gets caught up in the raucous. The plan? Go undercover as Big Momma (again) only this time Trent (in the guise of great-niece Charmaine) is forced to tag along as part of a package deal. Does more really need to be said? Fully grown Jackson is miscast, and never a bit believable in the role of Lawrence's college-aged son, and the flimsy plot about a criminal and his elaborate scheme are just a ploy for the two stars to don the makeup and accessories. Viewers would likely give all this nonsense a pass if the film were actually funny--too bad it's not. The epitome of an unnecessary third entry if there ever was one, the coup de grâce to an overlong franchise that already jumped the shark. *½

    Not comedy, but family

    Dear watchers of this website,

    I myself just watched the movie (downloaded, it's out of the theaters, have no DVD set, so, had to see it HD on my PC). And must say, I liked it.

    Now you all ask, what did you like then, because I've read the reviews here and they weren't quite positive, also the income was clearly not that high for this movie, which I get. Here I go!

    • Music: Loved the music, all of them. Rap, isn't my music, but, this time I loved it. - Family no comedy: This film was nowhere funny, first 2 were barely, this movie is more a family one, because, it's mainly for children in my eyes (high school movies are never for adults with just, no humor) - It looked like it was just the same as the last 2 movies, nothing actually really changed besides the setting/actors (barely) and story line. Which I don't mind, but a lot of people do.


    So, my conclusion is!

    Watch it when it comes out on TV I would say YES! Renting it also. But, it's not worth 10 euro's (cinema money).

    First time ever doing this, so sorry if I still broke the rules.

    The Vidiot Reviews...

    Big Momma: Like Father, Like Son

    The worst day for an African-American actor is the day that he or she must put on the first of what will be many fat suits.

    Unfortunately for the teen actor in this comedy, his moment of humiliation has come at an early age.

    When his partner hides a flash-drive on an all-girls arts college campus, Detective Turner (Martin Lawrence) must don his Big Momma persona to infiltrate the student body.

    Aiding Turner on this undercover endeavor is his arrogant stepson Trent/Charmaine (Brandon T. Jackson), a hopeful rapper and an unintentional murder witness.

    Now, Big Momma and Charmaine must locate the flash-drive before the bad guys catch on to their disguises.

    The third installment of the Big Momma franchise, Like Father, Like Son is a failed attempt at resuscitating an unfunny and insulting series.

    Besides, there are more comical issues to exploit in a skinny character who use to be fat. (Red Light)
