Big Momma's House 2

great film, but why did they spoil it at the end with a baby that looked nothing like the couple!! If I didn't know better, it was a completely different race and certainly did not retain the beautiful features of Martin Lawrence and Nia Long. You would have thought that even film directors would get it right when it comes to matching families and siblings in films and TV. Bad decision in this film... so unrealistic and stupid!! The upside is that it made me laugh so much!! Overall, a fabulous film, but there were some silly errors.... Flaming hell,reviews are required to be 10 lines long... therefore, I am typing to my heart's content.... my opinion is to watch this film, but watch the first one if you haven't seen it, because it will help the setting... Have I written my 10 lines yet?

The film talks about the FBI agent Malcolm Turner (Martin Lawrence) again posing himself , who's known as a southern sweet ¨big momma¨, she is a severely overweight but bright old woman . This time he goes undercover , attempting to solve a case , as a foul-mouthed nanny of a family formed by an unhappy mother (Emily Procter) , three sons and whose father (Mark Moses) is a hacker under investigation and passing information to the enemy . Also all complicates with the relationship between the potbellied grandma babysitter and the familiar group . Meanwhile, he has problems with his beautiful pregnant wife (Nia Long) .

This sequel expands from original idea but Lawrence and the writers manage to pull it off rather impressively . The jokes are plentiful and is pretty entertaining , the plot doesn't allow for many quiet moments which Lawrence needs to balance out the slapdash . In the former film sporadic laughters are too often mined by scatological and toilet humor but in this movie the gags are more agreeable . It's a farce with the great master of disguise Lawrence when he takes a make-up by Greg Cannon and is transformed into fat grandma . The story is funny and interesting and the characters are genuine and sympathetic. Film is a Martin Lawrence recital , he makes acrobatics , stooges , tongue twister and pull faces and grimaces . Picture is a vehicle Lawrence , he's a real show man and authentic farceur . Lawrence like his partner Eddie Murphy has plenty of experience with women costumes and acting various roles . Martin Lawrence is well accompanied by a nice support cast such as : Emily Procter, Zachary Levi, Mark Moses , Kat Dennings , Chloë Grace Moretz , Marisol Nichols , among others . Film gets a nice cinematography by Mark Irwin and atmospheric musical score by George S Clinton . The motion picture was allrightly directed by John Whitesell . If you like Lawrence's crazy acting , you'll enjoy this one.

This movie really wasn't that funny... but it wasn't awful, either. The plot was decent, a masterpiece compared to Deuce Bigalow 2.

But the main focus of the movie, "Big Momma" is boring. Martin Lawerence's idea of "Big Momma" seems to be randomly squealing and saying: "Ooh, girl..." and acting like a stereotypical black woman... fat, annoying, and loud. You know the stereotype I'm talking about it. This black woman is in every movie, but there isn't an actual black person that acts like Big Momma or Queen Latifah. The character is just a one-dimensional joke that falls flat quickly, and I guess as he/she is the main plot then the movie itself falls flat.

The funniest character, a kid named Stuart I believe, didn't get enough screen time.

I was disappointed to see the talented Kat Dennings again typecast into the "rebellious 15 or 16 year old teenager" role that she nailed in 40-year-old virgin. She's talented and sexy... I think it's time that someone gave her a real role, and let her play a character closer to her real age.

I wouldn't really recommend this movie, because it's just not very funny.

After settling down into a desk job inside the FBI, former Field Agent Malcolm Turner (Martin Lawrence) defies orders to stay out of the investigation of his former partners death and travels to Orange County, California to go undercover as Big Momma, working for an unhappy woman (Emily Proctor) who is under investigation for the murder. Little did he realise that he would become attached to the dysfunctional family

After pouring myself a nice hot cup of tea, I settled down in the comfy chair of Screen 1 to brace myself for the print check and hopefully have some harmless viewing. The result; A relatively brain dead projectionist trying to get to grips of where the last hour and a half of his life disappeared to. Now, to tell you the truth, I've never been much of a big fan of Martin Lawrence to start with but, like Jeremy Clarkson driving from London to Edinburgh and back ECONOMICALLY, shocks are everywhere. For the first time ever, I actually found Martin Lawrence's humour quite funny. Giving the dog a bowlful of tequila gave me a bit of a tickle, as did Big Momma's 'Baywatch' style slow-mo run.

This is probably the only plus side on a film which lacked the power to keep a rather basic storyline going. The characters created weren't complex enough. The family consisted of three children. One who was 3 and wasn't able to speak, which you undoubtedly knew he would by the end. The 8 year old girl was a wannabe dancer, and there was a troubled teen, who would stop her rebellious ways by the end of the movie. Emily Proctor's acting throughout the film was, to be truthful, pretty lame. It's like she took Calleigh Duquesne's character from CSI: Miami and just took all of the weapons expertise out of it. No original work was added to the character.

To sum up, this is a sequel that should have been left WELL alone. If you are of the type of mind that requires a film that will challenge you, I'd look elsewhere. Laughter is guaranteed as this film's storyline is clearly based around Big Momma, allowing Martin Lawrence breathing space to play with the character, but there were never any genuine references to the original film.

The movie isn't really that good. Most jokes fall flat and the film is predictable, but the movie still has it's laughs and it's enjoyable somehow.

Martin Lawrence gives a mediocre performance as most of everything he says isn't funny at all. Still, the movie has it's moments like the beer-loving chihuahua and that kid that was always falling.

The movie is mediocre, and I wouldn't pay $8 to watch it, but the movie is still watchable. The movie doesn't deserve to be on the Bottom 100 because the bottom 100 is made for painful movies, and this one is at least watchable.

Rating: 2 of 4 stars (Watchable.)
