Intermittently funny, often vulgar.

Chicago TribuneMichael Wilmington
A bad, bad movie...It's loud and dumb and it wastes a good cast on a ludicrous script. Read full review

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

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.

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

Village VoiceJessica Winter
Ends 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. Read full review

TNT RoughCutJ. Rentilly
A frenetic, aggressively unfunny one-joke merging of "Beverly Hills Cop" and "Tootsie."

This is pretty much a lazy film with a few lighthearted moments and no substance. Read full review

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
