In John Whitesell's 2006 Masterpiece „Big Mommas House 2" things are never quite as simple as one might thing. The movie shines light on some of the more difficult questions such as race, gender and love in general. Martin Lawrence's stellar performance as FBI Agent Malcolm a.k.a. Big Momma finds him stuck in a hard place between two completely different human beings. As he slowly moves deeper into character, his beloved wife Sherri (Nia Long) suspects her Husband is cheating on her. As you might suspect: It's quite a downward Spiral from here on. And it's quite surprising that we, the Audience, still get something you could consider a "Happy Ending" given the extremely difficult circumstances.The Movie itself is wonderfully casted: Emily Procter as "happy-go-lucky-wife" Leah, who only wants the best for her children but is trying way too hard. Kat Dennings as a rebellious teenage girl who, with "Big Momma's" help, learns that things in life are not always as they seem. And last but not least: A scene stealing performance by Chloë Grace Moretz as Leah, whose sufferings we probably can all relate too.Sure: There are moments of comedy but they never outweigh the moments of pure dramatic bliss this movie spits out when you would never even consider it. The chase between the Computer-Hacker Bishop and Big Momma, for example, reminded me of David Cronenberg's "Eastern promises" shower scene. This might sound a bit off at first but if you think about it: the dramatic increase is almost the same as is the climax which is the ending of the chase where Bishop jumps into his death.As with many great movies "Big Mommas House 2" probably needs multiple viewings to understand its full spectrum. There are a lot of things you will not see the first time around. And although the movie is probably not what one would describe as light fare, be aware that it will be worth every minute of your time. 10 stars !

2000's Big Momma's House was a surprise hit in the summer where I couldn't stop laughing once I bought the film on DVD. But one thing I hate about most comedy films is when they try to bring on the sequels; many of which take a long time to develop where after a while most of the fans who cheered for these characters start to lose their touch and move on to better movies.The premise of Big Momma's House 2 involves Martin Lawrence reprising his role as Malcolm. He has already got the girl (Nia Long) from the first movie where her son Trent is accepting him as it is while at the same time embarrassed that Malcolm is dressed up in silly mascots in high school to promote safety. But now the undercover agent if fired from his job where he overhears a conversation involving a computer geek on the verge of being killed unless he does something about it. Malcolm dons the Big Momma suit and goes in as a nanny.To be honest with you, the film was very hard for me to keep up. Not once did I laugh unlike the first movie where it just tried to hard to be like the original.

BIG MOMMA'S HOUSE 2, in my opinion, is a flat-out funny, excellent sequel which is less crass than its predecessor. If you ask me, Malcolm (Martin Lawrence) was very good at masquerading as a southern granny. Still, he wasn't much of a housekeeper at first, though. This was especially my opinion when he attempted to do the laundry early on. The reason for this is because of what he did with the clothes afterward. When I saw that, I wanted to vomit. Ugh! Some of the high points were Big Momma chasing after Chad on a scooter, helping Carrie with her dance routines, and getting Molly to shape up. I still enjoyed this movie just the same. In conclusion, if you like Martin Lawrence, I highly recommend this film and the predecessor. When you see this movie, prepare for lots of big laughs.

The person who does the make-up for Martin Lawrence deserves the Oscar-hands down.In this sequel, Big Momma again goes undercover, this time as a maid to a family that has little time for its 3 children. Seems that daddy, the typical nice guy, has gotten mixed up with enemy agents. The latter want to steal a disk that shows all secret government items.The laughs are there but the jokes are so old and you can easily predict what is going to happen. Lawrence makes all the right moves and the audience shall certainly laugh with his body-motions. The enemy is so predictable; the kids are cute but their actions are known to the viewer before the next scene arises. Lawrence pulls out a couple of good laughs. Threatening to call the Rev. Al Sharpton, if he doesn't get the job and parking by a synagogue while claiming that Momma is half-Jewish. The reply of the FBI agent is "Shabbat Shalom." As was in the original, when the bad guys are caught Lawrence can return again as Big Momma to pull the family situations together. While he does a credible job, the viewer should not be prepared for part 3.
