Big Momma's House (2000) 6/10

Starring : Martin Lawrence, Nia Long, Paul Giamatti, Terrence Howard
Director : Raja Gosnell
Running Time : 95 mins

Federal Agent Malcolm Turner (Lawrence) goes undercover as an overweight southern granny, known as Big Momma, in the hope of getting information on the whereabouts of an escaped criminal by getting in contact with Sherry (Long), the ex-con’s ex-grilfriend who has gone to lay low at Big Momma’s house.

This movie was okay, but in no way did it deserve a sequel. The slapstick was generally spot on, even though Lawrence wasn’t very liekable which made it hard to find most of the moments amusing, and Long was so wooden it beggared belief. Worth watching if you want to see some nice prosthetic effects, but not worth rushing to see.
