Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son

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.

"How you gonna hide swag as big as this?" After Malcom's (Lawrence) aspiring rapper step son Trent (Jackson) sees a murder it's up to Malcolm to hide Trent and find the evidence he needs to put the murderer in jail. There is only one way to complete this...become Big Momma again. After watching the first two I was actually kind of looking forward to this one. The first one was a good movie, but I thought the second one was funnier. This one took all that was funny about the first two and replaced it with "High School Musical" aspects. A lot of choreographed dance sequences and a lot of singing, not what I expected to see in this movie. Although there were a few funny parts, the movie was a re-hash of the same jokes from the first two, but not as funny. This is a perfect example of Hollywood running out of ideas and only doing re-makes, turning TV shows into movies, prequels and sequels that don't need to be made. After a five year break another sequel to Big Momma didn't seem to be needed, and after watching this it only made that fact more clear. Overall this movie does for the Big Momma series what "Batman & Robin" did to the "Batman" series, or what "Rocky 5" did to the "Rocky" series. Makes you think...why didn't they stop at the last one? I give it a C-.

Would I watch again? - No way, but like the other series I mentioned I would watch the others before this one if they were on TV.

*Also try - Big Mommas House 1 & 2

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)!

Dear watchers of this website,

I myself just watched the movie (downloaded, it's out of the theaters, have no DVD set, so, had to see it HD on my PC). And must say, I liked it.

Now you all ask, what did you like then, because I've read the reviews here and they weren't quite positive, also the income was clearly not that high for this movie, which I get. Here I go!

• Music: Loved the music, all of them. Rap, isn't my music, but, this time I loved it. - Family no comedy: This film was nowhere funny, first 2 were barely, this movie is more a family one, because, it's mainly for children in my eyes (high school movies are never for adults with just, no humor) - It looked like it was just the same as the last 2 movies, nothing actually really changed besides the setting/actors (barely) and story line. Which I don't mind, but a lot of people do.

So, my conclusion is!

Watch it when it comes out on TV I would say YES! Renting it also. But, it's not worth 10 euro's (cinema money).

First time ever doing this, so sorry if I still broke the rules.

Big Momma is back in this horrible 3rd installment of the Big Mommas House franchise. This is about undercover agent Malcom Turner. He is on another case and his son Trent sneaks into the middle of a drug deal and witnesses a murder. Trent than needs to go undercover with his father to an all girls school . Where the key to the case is hidden.

I thought this movie had a few and i mean Few funny jokes. Trent played by Brandon T. Jackson was the only one who made a slight joke. These movies had jokes that you would see in a Tyler Perry movie. If you like the Tyler Perry movies. I suggest you see it but if you hate them do not see it
