Summary: 3 Stars
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.
Movie Review: Better than I expected, but it's not saying much
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
Movie Review: It was fine.
Summary: 3 Stars
This mildly funny movie is about an FBI agent. He attempts to prevent the president of the FBI from giving the top secret information to theives (they threatened to kill his family). It would be easy for our pro agent, if he weren't fired and hated by the FBI. He ends up taking the cover of Big Momma to collect his info.
Like I said before, the movie was mildly funny. Nothing you'd die at, but it may cultivate a few chuckles. The storyline seemed a good one, but wasn't over the top. The movie wasn't boring, and should keep somebody occupied for the time it's playing, but I wouldn't recommend it for serious movie lovers.
Movie Review: It has it's moments...
Summary: 3 Stars
I absolutely did NOT want to watch this movie. Why? Because I saw the first one, and did not like it one bit, and I knew that usually the sequel is not as good as the original(which made me believe this movie would be terrible). However, I rather enjoyed this one. Sure, it was extremely corny at times. But, overall it was sort of funny(real funny in parts) and kind of touching in its own weird way. It's not Academy Award material, but if you want to get away from life for an hour and a half, this movie will allow you to do that. :)
