Please don't spend money on this.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

FBI agent Malcolm Turner and his 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. Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son was meant to be Martin Lawrence last theatrical film since then he is only doing stand up comedy. Once again this 3rd and final installment of the Big Momma Trilogy is fun, ridiculous and pretty damn funny plus Tony Curran makes for a very good villain and Jessica Lucas is pretty damn hot to say the least.

It's interesting that the week after I saw a movie where male actors play female characters, I saw another movie where the same thing happens, only the male actors are playing male character pretending to be female. So the difference is that in the movie I saw earlier, the audience is supposed to believe the characters are female. In this one, only the other characters are supposed to believe this.I believe I have seen one, if not two, Big Momma movies. I was getting this mixed up with Madea, But I like both franchises.The disguises work really well. I would have believed these were women, more so than in the other movie. Malcolm makes a really good house mother as "she" deals with basically good but rebellious teens at a girls' arts school. Trent, his stepson, is not quite as convincing when he tries to talk, and his attraction to women is clear, and quite funny, at least to me. But one wonders in those situations how Trent can pass for a girl except for the fact that Charmaine COULD be a lesbian. And while no one mentions Charmaine's obvious appreciation for the female body, perhaps that would have worked.Wait until you see Big Momma get nekkid for art class. No, with her fat suit, she can't really do that, but she comes quite close. The fat suit is really convincing.Trent's reckless behavior in the face of danger is a constant presence. Malcolm's hardest job is keeping his stepson safe as Trent takes risks in order to be with the beautiful Haley. Actually, his hardest job may be fighting off the advances of the overweight security guard Kurtis Kool, who is strangely attracted to Big Momma. But Kurtis may be the key to finding the important flash drive that will solve the case for the FBI, and save him and his stepson from being killed by the bad guys. And even Charmaine has the opportunity to ask the right questions of the other girls.While the other movie is clearly superior, I thought this one was pretty good and quite entertaining. Martin Lawrence gives a good performance (I mean for this material) both as Malcolm and even better as Big Momma. No one will win Oscars here, but several of the performances are equally good or better.Jessica Lucas is quite appealing as an actress and a talented singer and pianist (I assume she is the one playing). Her romance with Trent is bumpy but somewhat appealing, and does have some positive results. Though I think you can predict what will happen later. The question is how.Faizon Love is very entertaining as well. I wasn't crazy about him but I believe he will appeal to others.Brandon Jackson is better when trying to be Charmaine than he is as Trent, but he is also a good rapper, if there is such a thing. Seriously, I do like old school in some cases. Speaking of which, there is a nice moment as Trent and Malcolm try to mix The Temptations with rap.Ken Jeong has a sort of humorous cameo as a mailman being attacked by Malcolm, who has no right to do what he did to a postal worker, even if he is FBI. I think both professions should have been shown more respect than this scene gave. But Malcolm was desperate to learn if his son got into Duke. If you can forget about the ethical issues, just enjoy it.I'm sorry to say that, while this movie has a Heather like the other movie did, the nasty anorexic ballet dancer only manages a few genuinely funny lines and turns out not to be nearly as bad as we first thought.Luckily for our heroes, the bad guys are bumbling idiots, but still quite dangerous.If you immediately hate the idea of watching either Big Momma or Madea, don't bother. But if you find this sort of thing appealing, this just may be for you.

Big Mommas: Like Father,Like Son is a brutal movie with a stupid storyline that is mainly only trying to be funny,but even fails at that.I've seen the first two,which I didn't find brilliant,but there are plenty of funny scenes in them to make it somewhat enjoyable,and that is completely absent in this.The main thing that made the first two so enjoyable is Martin Lawrence,and he isn't in this as much,its more about his step son played by Brandon T Jackson,who I didn't enjoy,his fat suit wasn't as funny and his voice as a woman wasn't either,the scenes that Martin Lawrence is in is the only reason i'm not giving this a lower rating.Even if you are a big fan of the first two Big Mommas,I don't think you'll enjoy this,and definitely not if your looking for something funny to watch,I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone.After his stepson Trent (Brandon T Jackson) witnesses a murder,Malcolm (Martin Lawrence) and his stepson Trent must go undercover in an all girls art college as Big Mommma and her daughter.

Ahh, what can I say? It's lame and dry. At times I wanted to leave my seat. And instead of laughing, I suffered the absence of laughing or even smiling ! To know why it was like that; I have one fair answer to you : The Script. This story is worn away, and the writing didn't spend much effort on renewing it a bit. I recalled (Some Like it Hot) all the way, (White Chicks) for some time, and the original Big Momma's movie; (Big Momma's House), naturally. Though, it isn't bad for a movie to be like older movies, the real bad is being anything ELSE them as well. And that's what this movie pulled off perfectly !I saw all the events miles away before happening, and to add a ton of fuel, the comedy didn't compensate. In fact, I didn't run into comedy in the first place. All what this movie had to make laughs was the ancient situation of man-disguised-as-a-girl seeing a real girl taking off her clothes (and he throws a line Sean Connery has said in Goldfinger, 47 years before !), plus some nauseating situation where Martin Lawrence as big Momma was forced to be naked in a fine art class, and no need to say that both ended as unfunny ! So there was no new story, new dealing or any comedy. The third alone is sad for a comedy to achieve. Add to that side bugging notes. To instance : While the sight of Big Momma is horrible, she always finds a man who falls for her. And this time the man who fell for her before then knew her secret as a man, does it again ??!! The teacher of the fine art class sure got enough time to know Big Momma's fact as a man, though the movie rushed that moment strangely. And when we see the guard entering the class earlier, we easily predict his line while suggesting that Big Momma poses naked; which tells you how there is something wrong with the comic sense of the movie's directing or editing !Nevertheless, it wasn't all bad. It had some, rather a few, merits. It preferred not to use the nasty stuff that every comedy nowadays obligatorily has (sex jokes, rude language, and – yes – some farting). Although it contained an unnecessary urinating scene, but thank god it was just one ! Brandon T. Jackson gave so right performance. Dancing with Martin Lawrence, in one scene, was done without any artificiality. And the moment of writing a song during the first date was inspired and sweet, being the only "original" moment of this ceremony of failed rehashing ! I was sad the most for Martin Lawrence. That guy assured, with many movies, that his mentality is poor. Look at him choosing no daring project, no original idea, one after another. And he just doesn't work it out smartly. Thus, this time I messed him on screen. There was no actual funny stuff for him to perform, and clearly he didn't come up with a material of his own. This is one of his least enjoyable comedies. The thing is, you can say the same about most of his comedies lately !I have always said that Lawrence doesn't have it to do pure action, drama, romance like his fellow Well Smith. But according to movies like (Big Momma 3), I knew that he doesn't have the clever mentality of Smith too ! So he must learn himself a lesson and think twice, or think, about the scripts he selects, since there is nothing uglier than non funny comic star ! The problem of (Big Mommas : Like Father, Like Son) isn't about having no originality with the formulaic plot; it's about having no juice inside this formulaic plot, as if the writers didn't have time to make any creative situations or amusing lines (I bet, this movie doesn't make its own makers laugh !). So with another script, or true script, it could have been comic and memorable. Because being the way it is, makes it a disposable movie to be watched and forgotten. Dully watched and quickly forgotten to be precise !
