Big Momma's House Reviews

Funny Martin Lawrence in drag with potty jokes.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 22, 2010

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Mar 10, 2003

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 18, 2002

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 19, 2002

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

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

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

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

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

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000

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

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

The movie is more than a single never-ending fat joke, but not much more.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2000

The whole project works so hard at creating funny situations that Lawrence gets no chance to be funny as himself.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

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.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

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.

| Jan 1, 2000

Lawrence doesn't give Big Momma any special, hidden slyness.

| Original Score: D+ | Jan 1, 2000

The movie's not phat, just big-boned.

| Jan 1, 2000

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

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

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

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

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.
