Big Mamas Haus - Die doppelte Portion

"Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son" is the third movie in the series, and honestly, they might have considered stopping after the second movie. The first one was hilarious, the second one not so much. And now the third one has been unleashed upon us movie-lovers.

For a comedy, then "Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son" is rather weak, because there is only a handful of situations that proved to be funny. And even less so actually managed to make me laugh. I think I laughed once or twice throughout the entire movie. So it was a disappointing experience to watch this movie.

The storyline is somewhat simple, so even your family's dog can keep up with it. Some incriminating evidence is stored on a USB key, evidence that can bring down some big criminals. Yeah, very original there already. And the USB key is hidden in an all-girls school, and it is up to detective Malcolm to find it and bring the criminals to justice. Only this time he brings his son into it! Yeah, his son. Now, what father in his right mind would bring his own flesh and blood into a situation where his life is in danger, and much more so bring his son into cross-dressing? Back it up right there! The storyline was weak and very hard to believe and get into, because it was so over the top.

Now, Martin Lawrence does a good job as Malcolm and Big Momma, as he did in the previous two movies. So if you are familiar with those two, you know what you will be getting. This is good, but at the same time it is also bad. Why keep squeezing the lemon when there is no more juice to come out? Brandon T. Jackson (playing Trent/Charmaine) did a good job as well, except for when he portrayed Charmaine; I found that strenuous to watch. Ken Jeong (playing the mailman) was a hilarious spot to the movie, despite he was there for only a few minutes. And for a noticeable performance of the younger talents, then Michelle Ang (playing Mia) brought a good deal of spark and comedy to the movie. In overall, the acting was good and the performances were well enough. The movie was just suffering from being a movie that had a weak story.

I suppose for hardcore fans of Martin Lawrence, then "Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son" will be a blast. But for the ones that watched part 1 and 2, then part 3 is a very dull and humorless movie.

This time Malcolm Turner : Matthew Lawrence is accompanied by his stepson Trent, Brandon T. Jackson, going undercover at a girls boarding school, there they attempt to flush out a killer. As Matthew Lawrence disguising as a shameless and foul-mouthed grandmom personating a cantankerous Southern granny and Brandon T Jackson as a pupil girl and both of them become involved into a multitude of incidents, confusion and mayhem. Along the way Trent falls in love for a beautiful young girl, Jessica Lucas.

This is third funny installment from the franchise Big Momma, in which Lawrence joins his stepson, forming an attractive and fun couple while both of whom attempting to solve a case .There is a lot of entertainment and amusement, and jokes go too fast, however, humor is usually spoiled by toilet and scatological phrases, but there are also enjoyable gags. This is a dual show, as Matthew Lawrence and Brandon T Jackson give a real recital, both of them sing , dance, make acrobatics, complete transformations, and pull strange faces and gestures. The movie results to be a grand vehicle of these sympathetic actors, they are true showmen providing a true spectacle of comical interpretation. Both of whom are assisted by a fine plethora of charming girls such as Jessica Lucas, Ana Rios, Ana Ortiz, Portia Doubleday , Michelle Ang and baddies as Lorenzo Pisoni, and Tony Curran. The film was professional but regularly directed by John Whitesell, though it had not success at the boxoffice, while the first entry was an unexpected boxoffice hit, earning 174 million at the worldwide, this "Big mommas" got little money.

Big Mommas: Like Father,Like Son is a brutal movie with a stupid storyline that is mainly only trying to be funny,but even fails at that.I've seen the first two,which I didn't find brilliant,but there are plenty of funny scenes in them to make it somewhat enjoyable,and that is completely absent in this.The main thing that made the first two so enjoyable is Martin Lawrence,and he isn't in this as much,its more about his step son played by Brandon T Jackson,who I didn't enjoy,his fat suit wasn't as funny and his voice as a woman wasn't either,the scenes that Martin Lawrence is in is the only reason i'm not giving this a lower rating.Even if you are a big fan of the first two Big Mommas,I don't think you'll enjoy this,and definitely not if your looking for something funny to watch,I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone.

After his stepson Trent (Brandon T Jackson) witnesses a murder,Malcolm (Martin Lawrence) and his stepson Trent must go undercover in an all girls art college as Big Mommma and her daughter.

The eye of the beholder. It is tough doing comedy and it is tough explaining why something is not to ones taste. Martin Lawrence made quite a lot of money with this series and not only a few would wonder how this could happen in the first place.

While this isn't complete waste (you might be able to laugh or chuckle at some of the silly jokes), this really is by the numbers and has no surprising element whatsoever to elevate it over other movies with similar themes. Not only that, it isn't really that well executed either. But what would you expect from a movie when it reaches its second sequel (part 3 that is)?! So while the (general) census suggests that you won't like the movie, you might see it otherwise (especially if you liked both prior movies)!

Special Agent Malcolm Turner is back in the game (again), going into the field (again) to try and apprehend a notorious Russian gangster, but complications ensue when his rebellious stepson Trent (who doesn't wish to follow in Malcolm's footsteps) gets caught up in the raucous. The plan? Go undercover as Big Momma (again) only this time Trent (in the guise of great-niece Charmaine) is forced to tag along as part of a package deal. Does more really need to be said? Fully grown Jackson is miscast, and never a bit believable in the role of Lawrence's college-aged son, and the flimsy plot about a criminal and his elaborate scheme are just a ploy for the two stars to don the makeup and accessories. Viewers would likely give all this nonsense a pass if the film were actually funny--too bad it's not. The epitome of an unnecessary third entry if there ever was one, the coup de grâce to an overlong franchise. *½
