Warning: spoiler alertsBig Momma is back in third movie.. and it was bad move. This time the story is about that his son Trent witnesses a murder. Then father & son duo is ready to investigate a murder. Traces leads to an girls school. Once again the world needs Big Momma's help. What Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son offer to audience? Unfunny jokes and tired cast. Especially Martin Lawrence who desperately needs better movies like this. Maybe he got a big paycheck. I don't see any more reasons why this movie got into production. Typical Hollywood plot and that is getting older. The cast is from B-movies and it felt more like "the girl" movie. The music is like from nowadays Music Television: nothing new and uninspired. There are some funny jokes but other ways the movie is very bad.

I have to write this review after reading all of the negative ones prior to watching it. This is a gem of a movie! I put off watching it for several weeks after reading all the bad reviews. However, when I did watch it, I got just what I look for in a movie, pure entertainment. The chemistry was great! I really enjoyed watching Brandon Jackson and was impressed, not just by his acting, but also by his singing and dancing—very talented! And that Kurtis Kool! He was the same thing to this movie that spice is to gumbo—it wouldn't have been the same without him. I'd like to see more of the movies he's in. I watched this movie twice in 2 nights and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to laugh!

The first film is obviously good fun, the second film was a big disappointment and waste of time, I had a feeling this third instalment would be just as bad, from director John Whitesell (Big Momma's House 2, Deck the Halls). Basically Malcolm Turner (Martin Lawrence) is still hard at work with the FBI, and his stepson Trent 'Prodi-G' (Brandon T. Jackson) has grown up to be an aspiring rapper despite being accepted into Duke University. One night Malcolm is caught in the middle of a gang raid, and Trent witnesses the leader Chirkoff (Doctor Who's Tony Curran) killing someone, and this forces him and his stepfather to hide somewhere to stop him finding them. So naturally Malcolm has once again donned the Hattie Mae 'Big Momma' Pierce outfit and disguise, and Trent has done the same to become her great niece Charmaine, and they are entering all-girls performing arts school. While hiding out they are also looking for a flash drive hidden somewhere in the school, Big Momma is the head of the house (of course), and she gains a slight enemy in Jasmine (Portia Doubleday), and Trent is gaining a crush on Haley Robinson (Jessica Lucas). Trent's feelings soon go over his head, and he almost forgets that he is meant to stay in disguise and hide from any possible gangsters, but he cannot stop his feelings taking over and wanting to be himself for Haley. After lots of trouble, near-misses, concern from principal Gail (My Name Is Earl's Ana Ortiz) and a big talent contest, the gangsters eventually find out where Malcolm and Trent are, and the flash drive is found as well, but in the end the bad guys are caught, Haley stays with Trent, who also decides to go with the advice of "father" Malcolm and go to University after all. Also starring Faizon Love as janitor Kurtis Kool, Michelle Ang as Mia, Emily Rios as Isabelle, Henri Lubatti as Vlad and The Hangover's Ken Jeong as Mailman. Lawrence and Jackson do okay in and out of the woman costumes and masks, and some of the supporting cast members are alright too, obviously I might have giggled at some of the cross-dressing and dialogue jokes, but it is same old same old and in ways tedious stuff, a silly comedy sequel. Adequate!

FBI agent Malcolm Turner and his 17-year-old son, Trent, go undercover at an all-girls performing arts school after Trent witnesses a murder.Posing as Big Momma and Charmaine, they must find the murderer before he finds them....I wanted to see this, just to see how far Lawrence was scraping the barrel, i'm kind of sadistic like it. The ratings on here have been damning, and i needed to see what all the fuss was about.And while the film is probably one of the worst comedies i've seen, there's a lot here to keep the viewer occupied. It's a harmless film about nothing more than a copper in a fat suit and bringing his son along.The two leads are okay enough for this, and they have chemistry as they are both as annoying as each other.There are a few song and dance routines for no good reason other to attract the 'Glee' crowd, and soon enough people start getting feelings and bad eggs turn good.It is the pits, but you can't help but watch, like watching a tramp stumble across the road.Bet Lawrence cannot wait until bad boys 3 is green lit.
