75When all's said and done, it turns out to be quite sweet-natured. OK. I laughed. So sue me.
-
75Lawrence plus latex equals laughs.
-
63The kind of stupid-funny movie that should only be seen in a crowded theater.
-
63My guess is that the film will appeal equally to broad-minded 10-year-olds and their grandparents.
-
63A high-spirited, big-bottomed Polaroid of the comedian in a fat suit.
-
63There's something about a plus-size floral housedress that brings out the best in many male comics, and Lawrence is no exception.
-
63It keeps its promise to throw an hour and a half of lively entertainment at audiences.
-
60If you're not rolling in the aisles, you're definitely in the wrong theater.
-
50Any movie that employs an oven mitt and a plumber's friend in a childbirth scene cannot be all bad, and I laughed a lot.
-
50Big Momma's got game, but she doesn't have much else.
-
50Lawrence -- with the help of Oscar-winning makeup effects artist Greg Cannom ("Mrs. Doubtfire") -- has created yet another prosthetic screen wonder.
-
The formulaic screenplay has enough funny moments to keep the audience from concentrating on the predictability of it all.
-
50How special.
-
40Neither good nor terrible.
-
38A bad, bad movie...It's loud and dumb and it wastes a good cast on a ludicrous script.
-
38Intermittently funny, often vulgar.
-
33Lawrence is so ON that he appears to be gunning for clockwork bursts of audience approval.
-
If you think that Martin Lawrence dressed up as a hefty grandmother is funny, be gone with you .For the rest of you, you'd be better off just taking a ride on the bus. The script.. .is off and stumbling over unfunny one-liners.
-
30Fitfully amusing.
-
20Martin Lawrence, no Eddie Murphy, takes a reheated cross-dressing shtick and turns it into something to elate your inner fourth-grader.
-
20Yo momma so fat, when she gets in an elevator, it has to go down. Had enough?
-
20Ends up waddling its way toward gentler, mistier climes, stopping just shy of "Doubtfire" country. It doesn't run out of smelly steam so much as downshift and become a different movie.
-
20If Big Momma's House isn't as bad as you imagined, then you've no imagination at all.
-
20The sight and sound of Lawrence in fat-lady drag remains engaging throughout; script may often let him down, forcing him to keep things afloat almost single-handedly.
-
15A frenetic, aggressively unfunny one-joke merging of "Beverly Hills Cop" and "Tootsie."
-
10This is pretty much a lazy film with a few lighthearted moments and no substance.
-
10So you'll laugh during Big Momma's House -- but the laughs are so negligible you'll probably forget them before you get to the parking lot.
