Summary: ridiculous but relatively entertaining
Review: In "Big Momma's House," Martin Lawrence goes the "Some Like it Hot/Tootsie/Mrs. Doubtfire" route, dressing up in drag and embroiling himself in a mess of plot complications - just as Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, Dustin Hoffman, Robin Williams and a whole host of other comic actors have done before him. This is practically a rite of passage for any movie comedian, harking back to a tradition that is as old as drama itself. You really can't go too wrong with this cross dressing scenario, particularly if you happen to have a talented comic actor buried under all the makeup. Luckily, this is the case here. "Big Momma's House" may be far from original in its premise and execution, but the film does manage to deliver its fair share of laughs - enough, at least, to justify giving it a once-over if you happen to be in the mood for some undemanding, mindless entertainment.In terms of the setup, this film fails to deliver even the modicum of credibility that distinguished its predecessors. This is mostly due to the fact that, in the previous films, the men in drag were portraying characters no one in the film had ever met before. Lawrence, on the other hand, is playing the part of an undercover FBI agent who dresses up and passes himself off as a figure named Big Momma who is a well-known person in her family and in her neighborhood. That he is able to bamboozle all these friends, family members and acquaintances into believing he is indeed Big Momma does require us to suspend our disbelief even more than usual with a story of this type. Be that as it may, the truth is that "Big Momma's House" is a fun, fast moving and enjoyable little comedy, due, in no small measure, to Lawrence's skill in bringing the character to life through the expert use of vocal inflections, facial expressions and mannerisms. The script relies on some fairly conventional slapstick routines involving split second near-misses as well as dialogue that ranges from the clever and sassy to the crude and vulgar. Still, in comparison to the truly raunchy "Nutty Professor II," "Big Momma's House" seems like a genteel Sunday school picnic. "Big Momma's House" certainly doesn't rank up there with the classics of the genre - "Tootsie" or "Some Like it Hot" - but it does get the job done, which is more than can be said for lots of other comedies these days.

Summary: LOL
Review: This movie was laugh out loud funny, and had a great plot. I couldn't believe how funny Martin Lawrence looked in the fat ladies costume. This is now one of my favorite movies, and I recommend it to everyone.

Summary: Why Do These Movies Get Made?
Review: Someone explain to me why Martin Lawrence gets paid as a 'Top Dog" to be featured in any film, short film or disastrous FOX sitcom? Just because you personally know Eddie Murphy isn't an excuse, but apparently, Martin has made a living at doing it. It makes a man angry (me and you...even if you're a woman) when you see Martin Lawrence on screen without a semblance of talent...and you realize he's making about eight times what you make. After the first fourteen minutes of this film, I figured out a fun game to play: Count how many times you hear the two words BIG and Momma. Everyone says it throughout this [...] tale without substance or heart. It's incredibly annoying, believe me. This film is a disgrace to the intelligence of blacks and whites as nobody realizes that the real Big Momma isn't the one that's being displayed throughout the agonizing hour and a half plus of this film. How could ANY of these people not know the difference? The basketball scene is a complete disgrace considering Mah-Tin stands about 5'2" to begin with. He dunks with about 100 pounds of flop and make-up on his body? Oh Lord...it's really that bad. Save yourself a few good hours of the life you have on this Earth and don't watch this complete and total sham of a film. It doesn not possess one redeeming quality to it....and the only reason it gets one star is because [I have] to give it that, as the minimum. I emplore you.....don't watch this...let alone buy it. You'll thank me soon.

Summary: Now that's what I call going undercover !!
Review: Disguise is taken to the limit in Big Momma's House. Martin Lawrence plays the crafty special agent Malcolm Tuner whose willing to go through thick and thin in order to an escaped federal prisoner. Nia Long plays Sherry, the convicts ex-flame, whose headed for Georgia to lay low for a while. This is just enough to send Malcolm deep undercover as Big Momma, an oversized, over bearing Southern granny with an attittude as tough (if not tougher) than any street gang. The result is an outrageous comedy of epic proportions, filled with non-stop laughs and plenty of action !!!!!

Summary: Uninspired Comedy
Review: This movie is only for die hard Martin Lawrence fans. Essentially, the film takes a familiar gimmick (man in drag trying to impress a woman) and brings little imagination to it. Practically every scene looks like it was taken from another movie. Sure Nia Long is cute (she looks great in a negligee), but that alone is not justification to see this movie. The jokes you've probably seen before (and done better). Toward the end, Martin Lawrence seems bored and so will you. If you like the concept, go see SOME LIKE IT HOT, MRS. DOUBTFIRE or TOOTSIE instead. All three are much better movies. Simply put, BIG MOMMA'S HOUSE plays like a bad "Martin" episode.

Summary: funny but avrege
Review: The movie was really funny and I give it credit for that. But the overall story and plot was avrege and a little bit above being boring. I almost wanted to turn it off. but I dint and found that it was a little bit better but to be honest it was up to my expectations.

Summary: Not so funny viewed at home
Review: When I saw this in theatre, it was hilarious. But watching the DVD in the comfort of my home theatre, it wasn't that funny anymore. I guess people laughing around you, make the different. Anyway it is a quite good DVD. The picture and sound quality is good and there are some extra features as well on the DVD (a rarity for Fox considering a standard (PRICE) pricing). If you like it in the theatre, try to rent this first if you still like it that much.

Summary: Stop the torture!
Review: All I can say is that if you ever get to see this movie, DON'T! It was the biggest waste of film of the year 2000 (besides BattleField Earth). Only people who find stupid white people and a guy dressing as a fat woman funny should watch this movie. If you get the chance to see it, run away, and never look back.

Summary: what a charming movie
Review: First let me say that it is refreshing to see Martin acting again after all the trouble he went through with being in the hospital. He did a great job playing big momma the only thing is that it reminded me a lot of Sheneyney. People keep trying to say that he's trying to be like Eddie Murphy in Nutty Professor but the truth is Martin has been doing imperssonations for a while now. The movie turned into somewhat of a love story but in between it was funny. I recommend anyone looking for a laugh to watch and enjoy.

Summary: A Torturous Attempt at Cross-Dressing Comedy.
Review: Again, Martin Lawrence proves himself a Poor Man's Eddie Murphy with this Witless Effort. A Lame Script, Bad Direction and Actors who constantly look like they've just woken up, give this film a very "Couldn't be Bothered" feeling. Take a Pinch of "Mrs Doubtfire", a Dash of "Stakeout" and filter out the Action and Comedy. That'll give a Pretty Good Estimation of the Entertainment in store for the Unlucky Viewer. The One Saving Grace (and the reason for 2 stars instead of 1) is Anthony Anderson, who plays a Wannabe Cop who helps Lawrence out. He makes every piece of Poorly Written Dialogue he has seem like it was written by Neil Simon. Only Die Hard Lawrence fans need apply, anyone not fitting that description should Spend their hard earned money elsewhere.
