You may find yourself waiting for a commercial break. Sadly, it never comes.

This movie may well disappoint fans seeking the blue-streaked Lawrence of stand-up and tabloid infamy.

There's something about a plus-size floral housedress that brings out the best in many male comics, and Lawrence is no exception.

Even though Lawrence's act is getting repetitive, it's still good enough to make for an amusing time.

The movie is more than a single never-ending fat joke, but not much more.
Full Review | Jan 1, 2000
The whole project works so hard at creating funny situations that Lawrence gets no chance to be funny as himself.

It's not only inferior to all Murphy's movies (even Coming to America), it's a lot less funny than most of Lawrence's own film work.

The movie has some big laughs, yes, but never reaches takeoff velocity.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000
Had me cackling and stomping my feet along with the rest of the preview audience.

Lawrence doesn't give Big Momma any special, hidden slyness.
| Original Score: D+ | Jan 1, 2000
The movie's not phat, just big-boned.

This is pretty much a lazy film with a few lighthearted moments and no substance.

Farcical adroitness and Martin's ablity to turn on the charm keep Big Momma's House perking along.

The plot's going nowhere, so why not bring on the fun?
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000
Big Momma is broadly entertaining and efficient.
