Teaser
Malcom (Martin Lawrence) and John (Paul Giamatti) are FBI agents,
Malcom being the master of disguise and John the surveillance expert.
Lester (Terrence Dashon Howard) just escaped from prison and is looking
to hook up with his old girl friend Sherry (Nia Long). Sherry has
disappeared with her son Trent (Jascha Washington). Malcom and John are
assigned to surveillance over Sherry's only relative, Big Momma (Ella
Mitchell). The fun starts when Big Momma leaves for a week and Malcom
has to impersonate her to lure Sherry out of hiding.
Movie
Big Momma's House
is a comedy movie starring Martin Lawrence. This is all about getting
Lawrence to impersonate a Georgian grandmother with all the hilarity
that entails. The movie has lots of physical comedy with an underlying
romantic element.

DVD
"Building Big Momma's House": a 22-minute behind-the-scenes featurette.
"Make Up Test": a 2-1/2 minutes camera test of Lawrence playing Big
Momma. "Deleted Scenes": two deleted scenes (an alternate animated
opening and a prison seqeuence) with commentary. "Outtakes/Blooper
Reel": 6-1/2 minutes. Two music videos. Commentary track with director
Raja Gosnel and producer David Friendly.
None of the extras are all that impressive. The commentary is kind of
boring, mostly because the commentators drone on and aren't very
enthusiastic.
Recommendations
This is a nice comedy though not extra-special in my book. Still, I
think most people will like this movie.
