Martin Lawrence is often trusty in the world of comedy. Maybe I'm just overcoming his awful "Blue Streak," but I felt this comedy--though saggy at times--was quite funny. The premise is undoubtedly implausible. How's a whole neighborhood going to believe that this undercover cop with a latex body that looks somewhat like Big Momma is actually Big Momma? There's a lot of disbelief to suspend. But the gags often worked and I can say I laughed about 75 percent of the time. Some are predictable, like when Big Momma takes a karate class and starts beating the teacher--played by Anthony Anderson--to a pulp, but they still work due to the way they're handled. And Lawrence turns in yet another fine comic performance, with a script that could've used a rewrite but was nowhere near as bad as the crackerjack script he had to work with in "Blue Streak." The talented comic helps keep the movie togehter, with a little assistance from the supporting cast. Paul Giamatti, who was great as Pig Vomit in the acclaimed "Private Parts," is funny as Lawrence's partner. We also have "Me Myself and Irene's" Anthony Anderson and Cedric the Entertainer. The plot is chaotic, sometimes predictable, and becomes more and more implausible by the minute but the comedy works and because of that we're able to excuse the script's shortcomings. "Big Momma" doesn't deliver the biggest laughs, but it's good, fun entertainment on a lonely weekday afternoon. My score: 7 (out of 10)

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 us laugh just by making goofy faces. His best were when he was trapped in the bathroom behind the shower curtain when the real "Big Momma" (Ella Mitchell) was taking a dump a few feet away! The looks of Lawrence's face during that period were hilarious! Lawrence eventually dresses as a big fat woman and provides laughs doing so. Ever since the early days of television and Milton Berle, people have laughed at men dressing up imitating women. Pretending to be a 300-pound woman makes it even funnier. Throw in a pretty female lead (Nia Long) and a little drama to go along with the yuks and it winds up being a decent movie.

This movie doesn't tried to be the best movie ever. It is going for the comedy meets action and it that regards it does really well. Iconic, funny and a movie that does well on the nostalgia. Grab a snack and hot sauce and let enjoy this feel good flick.

One of my favorite movies! Hilarious, suspenseful, have watched it several times over the years and it never gets old.

What was nice about this film was Martin Lawrence's costume portrayal of Big Mamma! He did a great job of making it believable! Nia Long, a single mother without a husband, provided the standard love interest of a standard formula of a cop "falling" for the pretty girl and "proving" that she was not guilty of a crime. The church scenes were quite enjoyable as well as the musical performances. It's nice to see older actors with many roles in this film. Today's movies with all young people may be popular but are unrealistic as real life people have older parents, relatives and other associates. The on-film chemistry between Lawrence - Long was good! You should enjoy this film for the fun that it provides. Don't look for too many morals, other than good triumphs over evil!

This movie was the funniest movie I have ever seen. Just wait until the child birth scene. Bring your kleenex however, because this movie will make you cry laughing. Hilarious from start to finish. The whole audience was cracking up. Can't say enough, ten stars out of ten. SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!
