This was a surprisingly good comedy, despite the predictability of it and the typically-sappy Hollywood ending. Nevertheless, this film has a bunch of laugh- out-loud scenes and jokes and Martin Lawrence is a likable guy. He has the ability to make... Full review

The plot begins when a secret agent must pose as an old mama to stop a bank robber.Martin Lawerence is better than he was in Black Knight. I guess he makes a better secret agent than he does a knight. Martin... Full review

Martin's humoristic comedy will make you jump out of your seat. It's a movie that should be in everyone's library. It's a movie that will make you jump and shout. This millinium buster relates to fun within a family. I thoroughly... Full review

Big Momma's House is the most hilarious comedy of 2000, and I heard there is a rumor of a sequel coming out. In my opinion, it would be lower from the first, only because sequels are never that good these days.... Full review

Backed by 20 th Century Fox, the first film did well at the box office with the second one showing "so-so" as most critics called a sequel "unnecessary. ... Full Review

Like Dr Dolittle, Wild Wild West, Big Momma's House is hardly sophisticated cinema, but as far as offering slapstick in a totally unbelievable plot with plenty of crass humour, it has appeal. The cast works well with Nia Long perfect as the romantic lead, but stage actress Ella Mitchell as the real Big Momma will long stay in your memory. ... Full Review

But leaving Lawrence's script choices aside, Big Momma's House is an amiable romp. Needless to say it's overdone, but Big Momma's House is not about subtlety. Everyone plays it for real and there's a genuine playful feeling throughout. ... Full Review

Worse than its absence of wit or charm, the movie's preposterous premise tests the bounds of rationality at every turn. Besides Martin Lawrence and Nia Long, no other original cast members were signed on for this sorry sequel, and Nia's role has been radically reduced to a wraparound role as his hand-ringing and very pregnant wife. ...

Martin Lawrence and his progressively worsening films have become so harrowingly insufferable....Picture quality is fine....no one likes, Big Momma's House 2 is, quite simply, so atrocious that it depresses me.....Extras Perhaps a visit with the feature-length audio commentary (director John Whitesell, producer David Friendly, actor Zachary Levi) would help me to better appreciate the cinematic merits found within Big Momma's House 2 .....The Pacifier , Big Momma's House 2 is a drop-dead awful piece of cert ...
