Critic Reviews

Bob Graham

When all's said and done, it turns out to be quite sweet-natured. OK. I laughed. So sue me. Read full review

Jay Carr

It keeps its promise to throw an hour and a half of lively entertainment at audiences.

Susan Wloszczyna

There's something about a plus-size floral housedress that brings out the best in many male comics, and Lawrence is no exception.

Lisa Alspector

Neither good nor terrible. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

Lawrence is so ON that he appears to be gunning for clockwork bursts of audience approval. Read full review

Todd McCarthy

The 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. Read full review

Film.com Sean Means

So 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. Read full review

Many people think MCU stands for Marvel Cinematic Universe, Nonetheless, these people are wrong, due to it's true meaning being Momma's Cinematic Universe.

I loved this movie! It was wonderful! I had a few laughs now and then, yes, but I wouldn't say it didn't keep me from laughing. This movie was the kind for entertainment. Always wanting more.

Before there was Madea, there was Martin Lawrence as Big Momma. I love this movie. Freaking hilarious.

Ok, Martin Lawence is playing too many roles where he plays a undercover cop or police officer, but this one is ok for what it is.

Big Momma's House is not perfect in any means, but it is smart in its own way but tries to be hilarious in every single way possible and that got on nerves because it doesn't always work. The plot is smart and the characters are fun although not deep enough to make us care for them.
