I had an open mind and sadly, I didn't enjoy Big Mama's House
24 November 2006
I will admit it up front, I really dislike Martin Lawerence, I think despite his comedic appeal, his act is normally hateful. But a couple friends told me that they kinda enjoyed Big Mama's House, so I figured that I should give it a chance. I sometimes like these kind of movies, I especially enjoyed White Chicks, and Big Mama's House seemed simular, so in some ways I guess that I was kinda excited, maybe it was stupid humor that only a few would get or not want to admit that they liked, but I was wrong.

Malcom is a FBI agent who is investigating a deadly convict on the run, this convict might be paying a visit to an old girlfriend and their son. The girlfriend decides to go visit Big Mama, her grandmother, but when Big Mama leaves town unexpectidly, Malcom disguises himself as Big Mama and convinces the girl and the whole town that he is her. But he is falling for the girl in the mean time and has to keep his act up as her loving grandmother without going too far.

Sometimes stupid, stereotypical, and offensive, I can understand why this movie isn't well received by most. It isn't well acted and it is completely predictable, this is better than most Martin Lawerence films I've seen, but that's not saying much. I'm not sure if I'd recommend this movie to anyone, but who knows? Someone might actually enjoy this movie, good luck, pal.
