Putting the 'low' into low-brow humour, it's a series of sketches in which Martin Lawrence immerses himself into a fat suit and a frock and puts himself into ridiculous situations. Not funny.

This is funny mostly for its brazen disregard of common sense -- specifically, the idea that elaborate full-body prosthetic makeup could be slapped on in seconds by a cop on the run.

Robin Williams, to his eternal credit, never came up with a Mrs. Doubtfire sequel.

No logic, no laughs, a classic 'take-the-money-and-run' sequel which had me praying for a projector malfunction or some other excuse to leave the theater early.

If Lawrence makes you laugh, you’d be better off watching him do stand-up.

Lawrence has his moments, mostly when he’s not dressed up as Big Momma; he’s progressed to the point where he deserves a better vehicle than this. Long is wasted, appearing in only a handful of scenes.

Guys who direct snuff flicks in the slums of Khazakstan probably look at Big Momma's House 2 and think "Hey, I'm not such a terrible filmmaker after all!"

So desperate that barely a half hour passes before we get the inevitable jokes about Dr. Phil, Oprah, Al Sharpton, Tupac and Billy Dee.

Martin Lawrence continues to run around in a fatsuit impersonating a sassy obese grandma in order to take down criminals and slaver over beautiful women.
03/04/06
Just like the first film, it’s another basic, unoriginal fish-out-of-water story stocked with predictable plot twists and physical comedy.
02/21/06
The least necessary sequel this side of Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo.
02/16/06
It's really just a ploy for some more flaccid fat-suit antics that are as short of inspiration as Big Momma is of breath.
02/14/06
An exhausting, not-hilarious, multiple-resolution ending, in which Big Momma does funny dances with a cheerleading squad, runs on the beach like Bo Derek and chases down the bad guys -- all while fat.

There's Big Momma leading a bunch of little schoolgirls in booty-shaking cheerleading lessons. There she is in Bo Derek cornrows, bouncing down the beach. And, hey, we already mentioned the spa.
02/11/06
It's a shame to once again witness Martin Lawrence squander his considerable comic talents under a fat suit and fake breasts in this shoddy sequel.
02/11/06
Martin Lawrence is a broad comic performer who sometimes hits the funny bone with a mallet -- and sometimes, well, goes wide of the mark by several yards.
