Genre: Action, Thriller, Comedy
Tagline: The Momma of all Comedies is Back.
Plot: FBI Agent Malcolm Turner (MARTIN LAWRENCE) is out to expose the suspected designer of a deadly computer "worm" that would allow outside forces access to sophistical and critical government intelligence files. Unfortunately, the only way the crafty agent can get next to the worm's creator, Tom Fuller (MARK MOSES), is to access the programmer's Orange County home as the new "nanny" to Fuller and his wife Leah's (EMILY PROCTER) children: toddler Andrew and his two older sisters, Carrie and Molly. This means that Malcolm must once again rely on his sure-fire alter ego, the take-no-prisoners Hattie Mae Pierce, a.k.a. "Big Momma," to bring down the bad guys and prove that a woman's work is never done!But once undercover, the job proves another tough juggling act for Big Momma as "she" must manage the hectic lives of the three Fuller kids, keep up with their myriad of daily activities, and handle the many household chores, all while secretly trying to dig up information on Tom's computer virus. Of course, Malcolm's hardest and most comical task is staying in Big Momma character throughout, which requires the trickiest of physical and vocal transformations, not to mention the ability to think really fast on his pumps. Hilarious situations ensue for "Big Momma" while trying to trap her

 This isn't your father's cross-dressing. At the same time, the science of comedy attains a new level of appreciation, since hardly anything about this sluggish sequel to the 2000 box office hit comes close to being funny.  --ROBERT ABELE
If you thought "Big Momma's House" was funny, then two things are probably true: 1) You are stupid. 2) You will also think "Big Momma's House 2" is funny. F--Eric D. Snider (EricDSnider.com)
Why Lawrence insists on wanting to be an action hero, I will never know. But it has yet to work for him, and it depletes “Big Momma’s House 2” of whatever microscopic sliver of fun it managed to accumulate up to that point.  --Brian Orndorf (eFilmCritic.com)
Having an uninteresting plot only allows for the jokes to carry the movie. Since pretty much everything has been seen or done before, there isn’t much that makes “Big Momma’s House 2” worth seeing.  --Darren Brown
It’s been six years since the original Big Momma movie (I guess they hoped we would forget by now how bad the first one really was – we haven’t). 
...Lawrence tries mightily to inject some energy into the film, but aside from a couple of mildly amusing sight gags, there's not a big laugh to be had in this flick. -- (Reel.com)
As much as I thought that being as good as the first film would be easy, it seems that Lawrence and Whitesell made a good portion of this film during tax season.  --Chris Cabin (FilmCritic.com)
Pointless, desperately unfunny sequel that should never be seen by anyone. Ever. --Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
...ends with the words "Keep a lookout. You never know when Big Momma might be back." As if there were anything we could do to stop her.  --Marjorie Baumgarten (Austin Chronicle)

| Admittedly, I should have specific examples, but sometimes a movie's mediocrity so overwhelms you that you can't think straight and you essentially leave the theater having blocked whole thing out. -4 --Mr. Cranky
...the movie takes an unconvincing premise, applies untenable logic to it, and then strews idiocy through every simple-minded scene. It's actually impressive how bad it is. F--Eric D. Snider (EricDSnider.com)
Big Momma's House 2 will I suspect disappoint even the most ardent fans of the first film. The novelty has well and truly worn off, and we're left with a shallow big-mouth strutting around in a fat-suit, and dishing out family advice while he lies to hiswife about what he's doing. This film leaves a nasty taste - avoid. 1/7
