Well, firstly don't go expecting a big momma like the previous 2. Big Mommas: Like farther, like son is slightly more immature and corny in comparison to the first two. It felt like it was more for 11 year old girls rather then a movie that you and your buddy can enjoy. However sometimes these "corny" movies can pull it off and i think this one did just that!
Ignore the low rating, I don't think it was really that bad. It may not be Martin Laurence at his best, but take into account that he was doing a more "kiddy" movie this time. It did manage to keep me entertained, even though the plot was flat and predictable, I did laugh along with the crowd at Big Mommas wittiness. Also action wise, i would say it was kept at a mediocre level but you can't expect much from a PG movie!
You know when people say "watch it with an open mind and you will enjoy it" Sorry but this is most definitely one of those movies.
What disappointed me the most was i expected a storyline just like the first Big Momma, that's why i was so let down. One other thing is, at times i thought i was watching "High School Musical" (you will understand what i mean if you've seen it!)
It could most definitely fall under the category, "It's so bad, that it's good" But i think the whole purpose of this film was aimed at a younger audience, you can tell that automatically by looking at the cast. It's not the easiest to review because when the film ended i was neither disappointed or satisfied, it was more like a good way to kill a hour or two.
Chances are your kids will love it and you won't be to tortured because it will bring out a couple of giggles and I must admit it, the songs were very catchy and quite nicely done. My final verdict will be "watch it with an open mind and you will enjoy it!"

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

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!
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.

- 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!

"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

Big Momma: Like Father, Like Son
The worst day for an African-American actor is the day that he or she must put on the first of what will be many fat suits.
Unfortunately for the teen actor in this comedy, his moment of humiliation has come at an early age.
When his partner hides a flash-drive on an all-girls arts college campus, Detective Turner (Martin Lawrence) must don his Big Momma persona to infiltrate the student body.
Aiding Turner on this undercover endeavor is his arrogant stepson Trent/Charmaine (Brandon T. Jackson), a hopeful rapper and an unintentional murder witness.
Now, Big Momma and Charmaine must locate the flash-drive before the bad guys catch on to their disguises.
The third installment of the Big Momma franchise, Like Father, Like Son is a failed attempt at resuscitating an unfunny and insulting series.
Besides, there are more comical issues to exploit in a skinny character who use to be fat. (Red Light)
