Customer Reviews of Big Momma's House 2
Better than I expected, but it's not saying much My kids wanted to see this movie so we rented it. I didn't expect to like it. However, it actually kept my attention and I thought a few parts were funny. My favorite scene was deleted from the movie and is on the special features. It has the cute dog getting a pep talk and then joining his family happy again. <

>The plot and story are simple and have been done much better in movies before. Martin Lawrence goes undercover as "Big Momma" to nab some crooks. His wife, who is very pregnant, isn't happy about it. He ends up a nanny for three kids that he starts to protct and help. That's the entire plot. However, for the dog and some of the themes of taking care of your family mixed in with a few funny scenes (with many scenes that are supposed to be funny, but aren't), it's an okay movie. <

>If you don't expect anything very good, then you may feel it's not a terrible movie. Not a raving review, but it's all I can give.
Ok, but not needed
After watching Martin Laurance's LIVE (DVD) he'd better know he's damn lucky that I bothered to watch this movie at all after that atrocity.

>Basically I watched it only out of curiosity as to what concept they would come up with to bring Big Momma back.

<
>I gotta say, it's a defiantly cash-in to just make sure the kids will enjoy it and make money out of it. It has the typical gags that would have worked 10 years ago when no one had seen them, but they still have to go for the animal doing something bizarre thing that could have worked well in this movie if they'd bother to actually build a concept around it rather then throw it in between the plot line as a cheap visual gag that does get a chuckle, but not a huge enough pay off. I'm surprised there's actually not a single fart joke put into the film.

>The whole grandma doing athletics and abnormal things for her age like skating, surfing, rapping, fighting, swearing ect...that has just been done to death. It's not funny anymore. It's as stale as what that stain on that little blue dress is today. But thank god it didn't have one of those annoying kids who have huge worded dialogs and say things a 30 year old would say, instead they replace that with a kid who's a mute dare-devil and loves to land on his face that has a "WTF is this going somewhere?" feel to it, but doesn't pay off.

>The plot isn't interesting enough for me to care about. I don't care that Big Mommas back to be the nanny of someone the FBI wants to keep an eye on. I don't care that the kids are troubled youths with problems and Big Mommas gonnah save the day and be there Dr. Phil and re-unite the family who are too dumb to work out things for themselves, and I especially didn't care about the trouble of Carter and his wife with a new born on the way cause the plotlines have been done that many times you know what's going to happen and you've seen it a million times.

>In way's this same plot has been done in a billion movies from Suburban Commando to Mr. Nanny to Thunder In Paradise.... Well, if you wanna see one that doesn't involve Hulk Hogan then you may enjoy this action version of Mary Poppins.

<
>Overall, I thought the whole thing was average. Seen the plot before, the whole concept of bringing Big Momma back was not needed. And this is a sure a cash-in-and-a-half without questions. A sequel was not needed and if they plan to make a 3rd one like the end of this thing suggests, I wont bother with it.

<
>I'd tell you about the bonus stuff, but I didn't have any desire to check them out.
<
>This movie is just an average flick I can live without never seeing again.

very lame but sometimes funny

>Some of the greatest movie comedies of all time have revolved around men dressing up in drag and trying to pass themselves off as women ("Some Like It Hot" and "Tootsie" being the prime examples). Ironically, that's also been the basis for some of the worst comedies ever made ("White Chicks" being the prime example I can think of at the moment). Somewhere in the middle lie the Big Momma movies, both the original, made in 2000,and the sequel from 2006, creatively entitled "Big Momma's House 2." Once again, Martin Lawrence stars as the FBI agent who this time goes undercover as a nanny to the children of a man who may be involved in some sort of major threat to national security (yawn!).

<
>In turns of its storyline, the movie falls somewhere between "Mrs. Doubtfire" and "Mary Poppins," with Big Momma managing to heal the rift in the family and making the neglectful father a model parent by the end of the film. The crime scenario is beyond stupid and leads to a whole host of idiotic slapstick scenes involving Big Momma taking on the gun-wielding bad guys, but if you have a high level of tolerance for this sort of thing, "Big Momma's House 2" should provide you with a good share of laughs amid all the clunkers.

>Lawrence exhibits a great deal of energy in the role of Big Momma, but he never brings the kind of insight and believability to the part that Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis or Dustin Hoffman managed to do in their respective turns at cross dressing comedy. Unfortunately, Lawrence's portrayal is all surface imitation, utterly devoid of the kind of subtle shading that might suggest he had actually gotten in touch with his character. This film would be a trifle less innocuous if it hadn't been done so much better already.
