Martin Lawrence plays an “underblubber” agent in this mix of Stakeout and Mrs Doubtfire, trying to catch an escaped bank robber (Terrence Howard) by posing as the 300lb southern momma of the villain's ex-girlfriend (Nia Long). The comedy derives both from Lawrence's roly-poly impersonation and from his falling for the girl he's guarding. The humour is pretty obvious, but Lawrence works hard to give this one-joke film enough crowd-pleasing moments to justify the ticket price.

"...[Lawrence is] an impressive, often hilarious sight....Its genial nature and sharp cast...put it over the top..." -- 3 out of 5 stars - A Satisfying Rental
-
Trite and flatulent lowbrow comedy that lacks character and charm, with Martin Lawrence once more content to be a unfunny clone of Eddie Murphy.

Can Martin Lawrence do no wrong??
This is another Martin Lawrence hit, fans of his other movies will not be disapointed. Its 'Mrs Doubtfire' meets 'Blue Streak' (If you can imagine such a thing!) It is really entertaining and funny, great light-hearted stuff!

Funny but predictable
It was funny in places, but I just hate cope films that end in this was (as so many seem to do). The humour just made me cringe on the whole.

Martin Lawrence is a funny guy!! I wouldn't say that Big Momma's House had me in stitches, but there were some parts in the film that had me laughing. I don't think Big Momma is one of his best!!!
