FBI Agent Malcolm Turner (Martin Lawrence) is a master of disguise who can transform himself to resemble anyone in order to crack a case. When a brutal criminal breaks out of prison to regain his hoard of stolen money, his former girlfriend Sherry (Nia Long) flees with her son to her childhood home in Georgia, where her grandmother Hattie Mae lives, known to her friends as Big Momma. The FBI learns that Big Momma has been called away suddenly on family business, and in order to keep Sherry under surveillance, Agent Turner must take on the role of a lifetime: Big Momma herself. Can Turner find out where the hidden money is and cook a southern-style dinner at the same time while also falling in love with the sweet, innocent Sherry? (official distributor synopsis)

I happen to be quite fond of Lawrence, and I can’t openly despise this deep and intelligent film. It may just be infantile entertainment for individuals who need a break from the computer and sit down in front of the TV, but without prejudice and poisonous criticism stemming from the casting itself, it can be quite relaxing.... Come on :-) 55%
