Email this page to a friend   Critics Reviews Average Grade:   N/A Source Brief Review NZone (1 out of 5 stars) "Martin Lawrence stars in his second Hollywood vehicle but can his film overcome the comparisons to an 'Eddie Murphy comedy' or 'the black Mrs. Doubtfire.'" more... Cinema Sense (Gold) "Martin Lawrence is a scream in this story about assumed identity, romance, and the tensions between home town and urban values. We howled until our sides ached." more... Deseret News (Salt Lake City) (1.5 stars) "...though star Martin Lawrence hasn't exactly demonstrated a personality worthy of being on the big screen, [this] film squanders even his meager talents." more... E! Online (grade: B+) "Hitting the mark with most of his well-timed jokes, Lawrence only falls down when he means to." more... Film Threat (2 stars) "...a contrived 'Mrs. Doubtfire' wannabe." more... filmcritic.com (2 out of 5 stars) "...a comic crowd-pleaser that should score well with audiences that refuse to tire of incessant fat jokes, slapstick, and, well, more fat jokes." more... James Berardinelli (1 out of 4 stars) "Apparently, the filmmakers put so much effort into developing the Big Momma costume that they forgot about every other element of the movie: script, direction, acting, jokes - insignificant things like those." more... Nitrate Online "Big, broad, and ballsy, an overstuffed Martin Lawrence looms large in 'Big Momma's House' and appears ready to toss a gross-out shtick at Tom Cruise and his 'Mission: Impossible' team one week after 'M:I-2' toppled Memorial Day Weekend records." more... Orlando Weekly Movies: Losing the Drag Race (2.5 out of 5 stars) "Its main drawback isn't that 'Big Momma' is an unfunny character, or that Lawrence in outrageous drag equals a one-joke movie..." more... PopMatters "The promotional poster for 'Big Momma's House' lays out the film's central anxiety over identity in a way that's hard to miss." more... ShowBIZ Data (2.5 stars) "You've seen it before, you say? Too true." more... Spliced Online: 300 Pounds, 95 Minutes, 2 Jokes (1.5 stars) "...wastes a talented cast in roles that force them to act like idiots in order for the plot to advance." more...
